Future Perfect by Felicia Yap
4.0
Tick tick boom.
This book had me at so many things, the explosive start figuratively and literally. The death prediction from Alexa, which bizarrely when I asked my Alexa she said she can’t see in to the future and she was unsure if I would want to know anyway. I will let her off though as she has ten years to evolve, but speculative fiction always makes me think what if. Would I want to know? I think the answer will divide most people but for me it’s a resounding yes.
If you were to know what would you do differently? What choices would you make? Would you try to change something to prevent your death? These are all things that Christian Verger has to contemplate while trying to solve a murder and stop it happening again.
With high stakes and set in the glamorous world of high fashion and technology, it moves between various settings and timelines making the pace relentless as the chase is on. I liked Christian and the dynamics between him and his ex fiancée Viola as they both work on the case from different aspects. Christian coming from the side of the law and Viola from developing tech to flag up suspects.
This is a high concept thriller showing scary future possibilities that still retains a good old fashioned mystery at its heart. Now I just need Alexa to be able to make me a cup of tea and my future will be perfect too.
