Max Barry: 22 Murders of Madison May (2022, Cengage Gale)
English language
Published Feb. 3, 2022 by Cengage Gale.
This is a gripping sci-fi thriller that reminded me of the TV show Sliders throughout. The character development, exploration of personalities, and plot all came together in a satisfying story.
This was riveting, and I couldn't figure out how the end would go even up to the last minutes. There are murders in this, but I don't think they get, you know, lurid or whatever - but fair warning given. And I think the psychology of the murderer is pretty spot-on, if a little oversimplified.

A very easy read, with just enough clever little twists to keep you entertained. I enjoy Max’ writing thoroughly. Also has the best description of a kiss I’ve read so far.
This would be an easy novel to recommend to a first-time Max Barrym SF or fantasy reader.
