I really enjoyed both of Chambers' "Wayfarers" books.

I'm just beginning Mur Lafferty's Six Wakes: billed as an interstellar closed-room murder mystery--with clones.

From an NPR review:

Quote:
Imagine waking up on a malfunctioning spaceship: The artificial gravity is disabled. Blood floats through the air. And the corpse that blood is coming from is ... your own. Kind of. You're a clone — and your original self, along with most of your crewmates, are dead. As your ship plummets through interstellar space, off course and carrying thousands of hibernating colonists to the planet Artemis, you and your fellow clones take on a daunting task: solving the mystery of what happened to the six people from whom you were cloned. Was it mass murder? Mass suicide? Or something far more complicated and sinister?
