Afterlife by Marcus Sakey

5.0

4.5 stars. This was an amazing book and I may up it to 5 stars. (Waited 30 minutes, kept raving about this book, upped to 5)

The book starts with a character named Edmund who murders a bunch of people and then dies himself, only to find that nothing much has changed. Our main characters are Claire and Brody, two FBI agents investigating a series of sniper murders.

The afterlife/"echo" world was extremely cool. It was well imagined, atmospheric, and different enough from the living world that I never confused the worlds. This is on the dark side and I consider it borderline horror. And totally awesome.

This was the best book I've read in awhile and it was also an excellent audio, even though "Quanitco" isn't really pronounced "kwan-TEE-ko."

Did I mention it's awesome?
