Mystery | Thriller
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. A raging storm. Three corpses,
discovered within four days. A cast of monied, scheming,
unfaithful characters.
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. Then the body of one of the
members is found at the lake’s edge; hours later, a
major storm hits. By the time power is restored on Sunday,
two more people will be dead.
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. This is no ordinary whodunit. 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.
