The 22 Murders of Madison May

by Max Barry

I've read this book 1 time and given it an average score of 3 (out of 4).

2025-05-11

A fun enough premise (multiverses and murder). I liked how it grappled with the implications of what happened to previous versions of characters when new ones arrive. But for all its excitement, a weak supporting cast and an uninteresting villain left me feeling unsatisfying in the end. It's a good beach book, but lacks staying power for me.
