The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton
3.5
From the moment I read the synopsis of this one, I was completely hooked. The concept of humanity relying on solving a murder when everyone, including the murderer, has had their memories wiped is a wild one! I was nervous that the book itself wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but it did. The characters are interesting, the plot is impressive, and the writing is sensational.
With many deliciously short chapters, and most ending in cliffhangers of varying degrees, it was difficult to put this one down! There were some wonderfully fast-paced, entertaining moments that had me flying through the pages. Added to that, the sometimes science-heavy plot is still approachable and easy to understand.
I felt that the pacing was a little off at times. There were random, long moments detailing characters’ pasts that would interrupt current events, some of which were quite frustrating. I found that to be rather disrupting to the pace of the story, but that’s a minor complaint and the only thing that I didn’t enjoy.
