Recenzii

This thriller is science fiction wrapped in a murder mystery that scrambles and blows your mind... It is an addictive read that will remain with you long after you emerge blinking from the rabbit hole
My mind is officially blown! This clever, twisty debut really delivers. Gripping, well-written and intriguing on every level
A marvellously twisty whodunnit [with] the brutal, clockwork ingenuity of an Agatha Christie mystery
A dazzling, thrilling rollercoaster ride: five strangers forced to share a body in a resource-depleted future find themselves caught up in a murder mystery. Full of ideas and excitement, it's a gripping fast-paced read
A pacy, exciting and most unusual crime story
The ultimate whodunit conundrum, this amazing concept blew my mind from the start. A thrilling, intelligent read
Gripping, fast-paced and incredibly original. Five Minds is out of this world in the best possible way
Guy Morpuss is set to become a powerhouse in speculative crime. Tense, dark, gritty and high-concept, it's a feast of a book
Five Minds spearheads an exciting new trend in speculative fiction, with a mind-stretching and irresistible premise deftly spun into a twisty, page-turning action-thriller. Clever, cool and thoroughly entertaining
Consider my single mind blown! An astonishing and original concept, deftly executed. This novel cries out for a screen adaptation
A whip-smart, searing debut with a story which grinds into the mind like cursed clockwork. I really loved it
A brilliantly inventive, pacy debut with a great premise. A Maze Runner type world of complex death games and riddles that keep you guessing to the very end. If you liked The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, you'll love this
Fascinating and inventive. A brilliantly original concept, thrilling and surprising but also thoughtful and heartbreaking
Part Bladerunner part Agatha Christie, this mind-bending pacy debut gives a whole new meaning to the locked-room mystery. Five Minds deserves to be huge
Thrilling dystopian sci-fi meets twisty murder mystery in this mind-bendingly original debut. Five Minds is nothing short of a cross-genre masterpiece
Amazingly addictive. A wicked, twisty blend of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, Blade Runner and even a pinch of Rollerball
I loved Five Minds - the worldbuilding of Gibson with the pace of The Running Man. A fantastic ride and a brilliant debut!
Five Minds literally blew my mind, with a stunning concept that takes you on a terrifying trip with five souls crammed into one body, every one of them a suspect. Devoured in 24 hours, and will take some dislodging from the top of my 'best reads of 2021' pile
Extraordinary. Mindblowing, original and fiendishly clever. I'll be thinking about this book for a very long time
A gripping, clever and innovative story: this book sucked me into its dark, futuristic world where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted. The ending left me reeling! A fantastic debut
After a few pages I was hooked into a new world, manned by workers, andis, hedonists and communes. Imagine an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, The Hunger Games, Sophie's Choice and a whodunit under one cover. I loved it and wouldn't be surprised if it gets optioned for a movie
I loved the brilliant, brain-grabbing Five Minds. An extraordinary concept with a spanking crime mystery at its heart
Think The Seven Deaths Of Evelyn Hardcastle meets Running Man. So intelligent and yet so easy to read. Totally recommend
Inventive, innovative and imaginative. Five Minds was a trip that had me thrilled and terrified in equal measure. Utterly mind-bending
Smart world-building, fantastic near-future ideas, and an ingenious structure that kept the tension at a peak for chapter after chapter
High stakes and the dark corners of the human psyche: Five Minds is a fascinating extrapolation of society and a claustrophobic, deft whodunit
A real feat of the imagination: wildly original and a thrilling read
Fiendishly clever and dashed with humour. You're pulled into a world that is fully immersive. One of the most original books I've ever read
The perfect blend of speculative fiction and crime. I couldn't stop turning the pages
Clever, twisty, insightful. It reminded me of a cross between Michael Marshall Smith and Iain M. Banks, and that at its best sci-fi raises themes that shine a light back on contemporary world through a great story. Brilliant
Imaginative, twisty and brilliantly fun. I loved each of the expertly-drawn characters and their journey through a world where time is everything. Guy Morpuss has crafted a deliciously devourable tale that will have you on the edge of your seat
