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....

A breath of fresh air
A unique book in every way (well almost). The ending was a bit predictable but overall, I enjoyed it a lot. The narration was excellent. She really made the characters come alive.

Almost great
This could’ve been a great mystery fiction if not for the last 10%. Sticks to some formulae (if you know you know) but does them fairly well. A mostly enjoyable read.

sense of familiarity
loved the narrator. Emilia Fox easily drew me into the story ......the individual stores were ok ...but had a feeling it was nothing new .....similar to Ellery Queen, Agatha Christie etc.....in the last one third I felt the author tried too much to give us twists nad unfortunately it did not appeal to me.....wanted everything in a bow and contrived. overall average ...but could have been great :(

Weird story
I found it to be a very weird story, the only thing that kept me listening was the narrator
