An irresistible murder mystery set at a remote hunting lodge where everyone is a suspect, including the erratic detective on the scene -- a remarkable debut that gleefully upends the rules of the genre and marks the arrival of a major new talent A thoroughly original suspense novel that hops across elements of the genre--a diabolical locked-room mystery interspersed with a fascinating primer on the form--while always being tremendous fun to read.--Chris Pavone, best-selling author of Two Nights in Lisbon An isolated hunt club.
Both an homage to the masters of the genre, and a wholly original spin on the form, it\'s a sheer delight from start to finish..
This is no ordinary whodunit.
The elements of the classic murder mystery are all present in West Heart Kill, but it\'s the daring structure and mischievously subversive narration that set this debut apart.
By the time power is restored on Sunday, two more people will be dead.
Then the body of one of the members is found at the lake\'s edge; hours later, a major storm hits.
When private detective Adam McAnnis joins an old college friend for the Bicentennial weekend at the exclusive West Heart club in upstate New York, he finds himself among a set of not-entirely-friendly strangers.
A cast of monied, scheming, unfaithful characters.
Three corpses, discovered within four days.
A raging storm.
