Books I have loved in ‘22

 Five Minds by Guy Morpuss

This was one of those books that, once started, you just want to keep on reading. Think you don’t like sci-fi or dystopian settings? Think again as this book deftly crosses multiple genres to create an utterly believable world and still manages to be a cracking murder mystery. 

I loved how easy it was to immerse yourself in this world & accept that the essence of 5 people inhabit a single body, each getting 4 hours allotted to them each day. Just as in a regular household, the individual minds behave badly & put the others in jeopardy or act altruistically for the greater good. They have disagreements about their future which add to the drama. 

All in all this is totally different from any other book I’ve read & am looking forward to reading the author’s next title,Black Lake Manor.
