‘Engrossing, surprising, clever, genre-bending’ Val McDermid‘A remarkable novel by a major talent…entirely unique‘ Stuart Turton‘Any respectable practitioner must follow the rules in making the truth – however skilfully camouflaged by lies – accessible to all’It’s the Fourth of July weekend at the prestigious West Heart country club. Gathered for cocktails on the first evening are just some of the guests: the club president, the treasurer, the snooping schoolboy, the bereaved father, the taciturn caretaker, the prospective member…And there will also be a body. And a private detective. And a fiendish mystery to solve. But everything else is all to play for. And you are about to find out that you have a role to play in this mystery too…West Heart Kill is an outrageously original and imaginative murder mystery that is both a love letter to the greats of classic crime fiction and a brilliant puzzle the likes of which you will never have read before.
