The Last Murder at the End of the World | by Stuart Turton

 

They world was destroyed by a fog the spread across the earth killing everyone except for the inhabitants of a tiny island. The island has 122 villagers and three scientist living on it. It's essentially a Utopia until a scientist is murdered. 

The murder has resulted in a trigger being released and if the murder is not solved within 107 hours everyone on the island will perish. 

You would think solving a murder on a small island that is tightly controlled would be easy but it isn't due to everyone's memory of the night in question has been wiped clean! 

As they villagers and scientist attempted to solve the murder and hence their own lives suspicions run high and dark secrets that people hold tight might result in their demise. 

The characters are intriguing and while it took a bit to get into the book the story crafted by Turton will keep you turning the pages and trying to solve the murder myself.
