The Last Murder at the End of the World Summary

The Last Murder at the End of the World: The dazzling new high concept murder mystery from the author of the million copy selling, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

SOLVE THE MURDER TO SAVE WHAT'S LEFT OF THE WORLD 'A mind-bending, genre-blending, boy-that-ending mystery unlike any I've ever read' A. J. FINN 'I loved it' C. J. TUDOR 'An absolute blast' BENJAMIN STEVENSON 'Wildly inventive' M. W. CRAVEN 'Believe the hype' ALICE BELL 'Extraordinary' WILL DEAN 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 107 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… Readers love The Last Murder at the End of the World: 'Absolutely loved it' 'Mind-bending twists' 'Captivating' 'Thrillingly fast-paced' 'New favourite book' 'Another masterpiece' 'Unique' 'Explosive' 'Absolutely unforgettable' 'Unlike anything I've ever read before' 'Still shocked by the ending' 'Wonderfully imaginative' An Observer Thriller of the Month
