Stuart Turton gets better with each book he writes, and this is Turton’s best book yet. 

A deadly fog that covers the entire earth, except for one last island where the fog doesn’t invade. Villagers live on the island, content with their lives. 3 scientists act as elders to the villagers, providing guidance and knowledge. Until one of the scientists ends up dead. And the fog is moving toward the island, threatening everything they know. 

They must solve the murder in order to stop the fog and save themselves.
