"A space adventure set on a lone ship where the clones of a murdered crew must find their murderer -- before they kill again. It was not common to awaken in a cloning vat streaked with drying blood. At least, Maria Arena had never experienced it. She had no memory of how she died. That was also new; before, when she had awakened as a new clone, her first memory was of how she died. Maria's vat was in the front of six vats, each one holding the clone of a crew member of the starship Dormire, each clone waiting for its previous incarnation to die so it could awaken. And Maria wasn't the only one to die recently..."--… (mere)

This is, in part, a locked-room mystery set on a spaceship. The author has done an interesting job of creating the technological underpinnings for the story so that it can all hang together well. But for some reason I cannot put my finger on (which is not all helpful in a review, I know), I didn't find it as satisfying as I think it ought to be. Hence the three-star review. But I would encourage you to read it, nonetheless. Laffterty definitely has talent, and I look forward to reading her work in the future. ( )

Imagine waking up, naked, floating in zero-g with five other people, who are also just coming to. The six of you recently met at a launch party for the generational ship you are crewing together, the Dormire. Oh, also in the room with you are a few of your dead bodies.
None of you remember what happened. And you didn't just meet each other, either, you've been traveling together for twenty-five years. Time enough to learn each other's secrets. Time enough to plot how to kill everyone. If only any of you remembered.
Your mindmaps have all been reset to the initial recordings, they are as blank as your newest cloned bodies. There are no recordings, no logs and the AI is offline. All you have to go on are what little evidence can be gleaned from your former shells. Who can be trusted? Who will figure it all out first?

I was browsing the sci-fi section of our local used shop when I picked this one up to read the blurb. I had listened to Mur's podcast back in 2020, just after lockdown, but I had never looked into her work. When I saw that she had dedicated it to James Patrick Kelly, I bought it instantly. I am, to be brief, a fan. You can see the lineage of Think Like A Dinosaur here in Six Wakes.
I really enjoyed this Locked Room mystery. In Space! With clones and AI! And I'm not the only one who liked it. Six Wakes won the 2018 Hugo award, the 2018 Nebula award and was a finalist for the 2018 Phillip K Dick award. ( )

Only read about 50 pages of this, just couldn't bring myself to waste anymore time on it. I imagine it might do well as a comic book, maybe. A whodunnit on a spaceship, but it could not compel me to care enough to finish. ( )

This was really good. A locked door mystery where everyone has died but also everyone is still alive and without their memories.

The characters were well developed, the plot twisty but understandable, and the ending completely believable and earned.

Mur Lafferty tells a seemingly familiar story with suspense, style and wit. ( )

I loved this. Fast pace, ethical & philosophical dilemmas, locked room murder mystery, tonnes of secrets, AI with some personality disorders, and it all takes place in space. So good.

One reader called it Clue in space and that is such a good description. ( )

In the end, Six Wakes is a very impressive novel. I found myself fully invested in the characters and carried along by the powerful pull of the plot as the tension ratcheted up towards the climax. There might be more stories to tell of these characters or the “world” they inhabit, but this was an excellent standalone SF thriller.

Like Asimov's work, Six Wakes offers a set of science-fictional rules that, of course, are going to be bent, broken, and tested throughout the story. Ethical and philosophical dilemmas abound, from the definition of the individual to the nature of identity. Rather than posing them abstractly, Lafferty tethers these big quandaries to an exquisitely wound plot, one that shifts from whodunit to howdunit to whydunit with a breathless sense of escalation.
