Publisher's Summary

As a replicant, or "technohuman", Detective Bruna Husky knows two things: humans bioengineered her to perform dangerous, undesirable tasks, and she has just 10 years on the United States of Earth before her body automatically self-destructs. But with "antitechno" rage on the rise and a rash of premature deaths striking her fellow replicants, she may have even less time than she thought.

Investigating the mysterious deaths, Bruna delves into the fractious, violent history shared by humans and replicants, and struggles to engage the society that fails to understand her - yet created her. The deeper she gets, the deadlier her work becomes as she uncovers a vast, terrifying conspiracy bent on changing the very course of the world. But even as the darkness of her reality closes in, Bruna clings fiercely to life.

Generic Crime/Mystery wrapped in Sci-Fi

Only recommend if you are into Sci-Fi and skip the Wikipedia articles. There are literally whole chapters dedicated to world building, via Wikipedia article style. It doesn't work, it slows the pace down and you start to lose interest with the characters. I stuck through and while the Wikipedia article eventually "pays off" (And it really doesn't) the whole story just didn't capture my interest.

The mystery gets solved way too quickly at the end, Bruna kind of changes, but doesn't? She realizes who she is and stays the same I guess? Side characters hardly change, they stay in the same place.

Mary, the narrator, knocks it out of the park as usual. I would have drooped this book if it wasn't for her!
