The Number One Sunday Times bestseller

Description

On a mysterious island where crime does not exist, a seemingly impossible murder has been committed….

Can you join together with a very unlikely amateur detective to solve the Last Murder at the End of the World?

The small group of villagers who live on the tiny island lead simple, but happy lives. There is no world beyond their shores, but they're content with what they have. Only Emory feels frustrated. Unlike everyone else on the island she doesn't yet seem to have a purpose. All she seems to be good at is asking questions.

But then one of the scientists who guides the villagers is found murdered and as there has never been a crime before, there is no detective to call on. There is only Emory and her gift for asking questions. So now Emory must explore every inch of her island – from the cliffs to the jungles, from sandy beaches to the very top of the mountain – to find clues that apparently don't exist.

How can she solve a mystery on an island where no one lies but there's still no way to find the culprit?

Stuart Turton’s debut novel, The Seven Deaths of E…

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.

Sunday Times
The fiction of Stuart Turton gloriously bends both the reader's mind and the crime genre

Financial Times
This story will grip your attention until the very last page and is sure to be another bestseller

Glamour
A clever dystopian thriller . . . another twisty masterpiece from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Woman's Weekly
A mind-bending, genre-blending, boy-that-ending mystery unlike any I've ever read … I feel, as I read a Turton book, like I'm watching a rocket erupt from the launchpad -- I've got a grin on my face and my heart in my throat
