Description
The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton transports readers to an isolated island, a seeming sanctuary in a world ravaged by a deadly fog. The story unfolds in a dystopian future where the earth's surface is enveloped by an impenetrable mist that kills everything it touches. The island, home to 122 villagers and three scientists, is the last bastion of human civilisation. The residents lead a harmonious life, following the guidance of the scientists and adhering to nightly curfews.
However, this fragile peace is shattered when one of the scientists is discovered brutally stabbed to death. This gruesome act sets off a chain of events that threatens the very survival of everyone on the island. The murder compromises the island's security system, the sole barrier keeping the lethal fog at bay. The remaining inhabitants have only 107 hours to uncover the murderer and restore the system, or face annihilation.
As if this dire situation wasn't harrowing enough, the malfunctioning security system has also erased everyone's memories of the night of the murder. This means that the killer could be anyone on the island – even the person who is trying to solve the mystery.
Readers have been captivated by the novel's mind-bending twists and unrelenting suspense. The blend of thriller, mystery, and sci-fi has earned high praise and several accolades.
The Last Murder at the End of the World is not just a thrilling read but an extraordinary journey through a meticulously constructed world. The novel has achieved Number One on the Sunday Times Bestseller list, reflecting its widespread acclaim.
