Publisher's Summary

Solve the murder to save what's left of the world.

Outside the island there is nothing: the world destroyed by a fog that swept the planet, killing anyone it touched. On the island: it is idyllic. 122 villagers and 3 scientists, living in peaceful harmony. The villagers are content to fish, farm and feast, to obey their nightly curfew, to do what they’re told by the scientists.

Until, to the horror of the islanders, one of their beloved scientists is found brutally stabbed to death. And they learn the murder has triggered a lowering of the security system around the island, the only thing that was keeping the fog at bay.

If the murder isn’t solved within 92 hours, the fog will smother the island – and everyone on it.

But the security system has also wiped everyone’s memories of exactly what happened the night before, which means that someone on the island is a murderer – and they don’t even know it…

An outstanding high concept murder mystery from the Sunday Times bestselling and Costa Book Award winning author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. An ingenious puzzle, an extraordinary backdrop, an audacious solution.

Another amazing book

I don’t listen to much fiction but found ST’s previous novels absolutely fascinating. This one is no exception. So different to the others in terms of setting, but the same well-paced narrative and killer twists (only slight pun intended!). Also appreciated the author’s warm closing shout-outs.

The worst of great is still really good.

Stuart Turton is doing something that no one else is doing. He’s now written three murder mysteries that take place in three totally unique worlds that are also instantly recognisable, to the extent that you can nearly breathe the air of these fictional places.

This, his third book, for all its time spent on creating the world and its mystery, failed a little to build characters I cared enough about.

Having read his first two books, I already knew that I was in for about a halfa dozen endings where just as it seems solved we get a “but wait, there’s more!”, and eventually the whole thing will be resolved, not because we were able to follow clues, but because it will be spelt out to us with a scooby doo ending where the perpetrator tells us all how it was done.

That annoyed me with the first book, but now I understand that’s how it’s going to be.

It’s ridiculous to say that this book requires a little suspension of disbelief, when his first book involved unexplained time travel and body possession, but here we are. It requires a little suspension of disbelief.

I’m not even sure this is a criticism because being the worst of great is still really good. I’m just being nit picky because Devil and the Dark Water was perfect, and that’s tough to live up to.

I’ve read and enjoyed all of Stuart Turtons books, and like me, anyone that has read one will read them all. 4.9 stars.
