On a seemingly idyllic island surrounded by the poisonous fog
that wiped out the rest of the world, an isolated group of
villagers must solve a murder which no one can remember to keep the
fog from engulfing them all.
A dazzlingly original murder mystery from the author of the
bestselling The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.
Stuart Turton’s debut novel, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, won the Costa First Novel Award and the Books Are My Bag Readers Award for Best Novel, and was shortlisted for the Specsavers National Book Awards and the British Book Awards Debut of the Year. A Sunday Times bestseller, it has been translated into over thirty languages, and has sold over one million copies in the UK and US combined. The Devil and the Dark Water, his follow up, won the Books Are My Bag Readers Award for Fiction and was selected for the BBC Two Book Club, Between the Covers, and the Radio 2 Jo Whiley Book Club. Stuart lives near London with his wife and daughters.
Excellent ... I won’t give anything else away as the discoveries
are part of the joy, but I was engrossed in this high-concept
thriller and can’t wait to see what Turton does next
*Observer*
Turton’s puzzle box draws on every sci-fi classic from Blade Runner
to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
As a mystery, it is more intriguing than involving. As
prognostication, it seems only too likely to be the shape of things
to come.
