Publisher's Summary

All murder mysteries follow a simple set of rules. Grant McAllister, an author of crime fiction and professor of mathematics, once sat down and worked them all out.

But that was 30 years ago. Now he's living a life of seclusion on a quiet Mediterranean island - until Julia Hart, a sharp, ambitious editor, knocks on his door. His early work is being republished, and together the two of them must revisit those old stories: an author hiding from his past and an editor keen to understand it.

But as she reads, Julia is unsettled to realise that there are things in the stories that don't make sense. Intricate clues that seem to reference a real murder, one that's remained unsolved for 30 years.

Julia realises she's unwittingly entered a battle of wits where there can be only one winner. But Grant will soon realise that he underestimates her at his peril....

Twists and Turns Abundant

Absolutely enjoyed this book. Twists and turns. Listened to it all at once cause I just couldn’t wait to finish it. Will be re reading over and over. So good! So clever! Loved it!!!

Not too exciting

I struggled to finish this one. The plot twists didn't add to the story and came too late
