‘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 and his pregnant wife, the snooping school boy, the bereaved father, the taciturn caretaker, the prospective member, the private detective...
And there will also be a body.
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 fiendishly brilliant puzzle the likes of which you will never have read before.
I liked the sound of this book, I enjoyed it but didn't love it. I enjoyed the detective scenes and loved how the ending was 'played' out but found the 'informational' bits just too much and distracted from the storyline which I really feel is a shame.
I'm still a little confused about a couple of things as it wasn't clear in the book what had actually happened. Thank you to NetGalley & Bloomsbury publishing for the ARC.
