A review by margenotbutter
The Hundredth Man by Jack Kerley

2.0

I didn't enjoy this as much as some other Kerley books (as I have read them out of order). I think it is clear that it is a debut novel as it is a bit scattered. The murder plot was overlooked by the inclusion of Carson/Jeremy backstory, and the side plots of Ava and Squill. I found the Ava story added nothing to the book and the Squill plot was repetitive and boring. It was interesting finding out about the Carson/Jeremy backstory though, and parts of the murder plot were clever. I am glad I didn't read this first as I think it would have put me off some of his other books.
