A body is found in the Alabama wilderness. The question is: Is it a human corpse … or is it just a piece of discarded property? Agent Samantha Rose has been exiled to a backwater assignment for the Commonwealth Bureau of Investigation, a death knell for her career. But then Sam catches a break—a murder—that could give her the boost she needs to get her life back on track. There’s a snag, though: the body is a clone, and technically that means it’s not a homicide. And yet, something about the body raises questions, not only for her, but for coroner Linsey Mackenzie. The more they dig, the more they realize nothing about this case is what it seems … and for Sam, nothing about Mac is what it seems, either. This case might be the way out for her, but that way could be in a bodybag. A thrilling new mystery from Liana Brooks, The Day Before will have you looking over your shoulder and questioning what it means to be human.
Holy Mind Boggle Batman!!!!
From page one I was instant gripped by this book, it was futuristic style blended with a realism that didn't seem too far fetched. Decades off into the future where clones are as popular and fast food joints, each one serves a purpose. I mean they even have black market rings that sell illegal clones to stalkers....that's twisted!
Though with each page I kept getting sucked in a little more. Sam truly was a great detective to follow in this novel. She was witty, smart as hell and has a second sense for bullshit. That was probably one of my favorite things about her, plus she had the balls to call people out, regardless of their rank.
Another character who intrigued me instant was Mac....honestly I was expecting a girl...that threw me for a loop....but he peaked my interest. At first I totally thought he was corrupt, and dirty, yet as the plot unfolded it revealed things that he had no control over. "Powers that be" sort of thing.
At the end of Sam's story I will have to say I saw a couple things coming, the bad guy(s)....yes. The why....no.
It left off at a point that will allow the second book in this series to really explode. I look forward jumping into the rest of the Jane Doe series with Sam! I think it's going to be quiet a ride!
4/5
