Description
'A diabolical locked-room mystery interspersed with a fascinating primer on the form'
Chris Pavone
'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.

Doesn't so much break the fourth wall as crash through it in a bulldozer ... very well executed indeed

The book has an exquisite atmosphere and I found the writing extremely engaging. It makes for highly compulsive reading; I loved all the tangents on the history of the genre. I'm very keen to see what Dann McDorman does next!
