“I’ve spend ninety years trying to rid humanity of its selfishness, greed, and impulse toward violence.”

The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton is a mystery wrapped in a science fiction novel. The world as we know it is no more. It was engulfed in a mysterious black fog that ended life. Well, except for the inhabitants of the village on a questionable isolated island. How did these souls survive and, when an unheard of murder takes place on this place free from violence, what will change?

Written by the author of The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, Turton certainly knows how to spin a story. There are tons of little mysteries for readers to solve and each one is layered and builds upon the next. Over the last decade, I’ve become a huge sci-fi and fantasy fan and this book really felt like it had little winks to so many works that I love.
