That double puzzle is exactly the magic here. A New York Times Bestseller, a #1 Indie Next Pick, and named a Best Book of 2017 by NPR, Amazon, The Washington Post, and Esquire. Quite the shelf of accolades.
From the bestselling author of Moriarty and Trigger Mortis comes a fiendishly clever whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie herself—wrapped inside a chilling modern-day mystery.
When editor Susan Ryeland receives the latest manuscript from crime writer Alan Conway, she expects another cozy outing for his beloved detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves murders in sleepy English villages. But as Susan turns the pages, she becomes convinced there’s a second story hidden in the text—one of real jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder.
Two mysteries. One book. And you, dear reader, become the detective.
It’s a deviously dark love letter to vintage English crime fiction, layered and relentlessly suspenseful. The kind of book you’ll want to discuss the moment you finish—so come back and tell us what you thought.
A perfect pick for fans of classic whodunits and clever literary thrillers alike. Nestled here on our shelves, just waiting to be discovered.
