A very enjoyable and intriguing police investigation into a murder involving surrogacy and cloning.

I love this series, and I don't know if it was me or if it was the book, but I think it was subpar compared to the rest of the collection.

The human cloning thing is seriously far-fetched, but still overall a good book.
