Sebastian Trapp, a best-selling mystery author is given three months to live. His first wife and son disappeared years ago, and he has remained a suspect throughout. Sebastian invites Nicky Hunter, an aspiring biographer to his home to write his memoir. Nicky  becomes embroiled in a web of family secrets and a mysterious death at the family home.  The novel is largely a slow-burn homage to the works of Conan Doyle, but the very slow build-up does provide some extremely interesting twists and turns during the third act.  3.5/5
