Infos

'Deliciously ingenious.' Daily Mail 'Keeps you guessing right to the end.' PETER MAY 'Smartly entertaining.' Washington Post 'So beautifully written, so gripping, so perfect.' SOPHIE HANNAH If you're on the list you're marked for death. The envelope is unremarkable. There is no return address. It contains a single, folded, sheet of white paper. The envelope drops through the mail slot like any other piece of post. But for the nine complete strangers who receive it - each of them recognising just one name, their own, on the enclosed list - it will be the most life altering letter they ever receive. It could also be the last, as one by one, they start to meet their end. What readers are saying: ***** 'It gripped me from start to finish.' ***** 'Prepare to be blown away.' ***** 'Another fast paced edge of your seat masterclass.' ***** 'What an absolutely wild ride.' ***** 'Best Peter Swanson murder mystery I've read.' ***** 'An absolute winner . . . A must read for lovers of a good thriller.'

Peter Swanson's novels include The Girl With a Clock for a Heart, nominated for an LA Times book award, The Kind Worth Killing, a Richard and Judy pick and the iBooks store's thriller of the year in 2015; Rules for Perfect Murders, the 2020 Richard and Judy Pick; and most recently Nine Lives. He lives with his wife and cat on the north coast of Massachusetts.

Rezensionen

Swanson again takes the idea of fiction as homage to deliriously vertiginous new heights ... Old-school mystery, certainly, but delivered with a wonderful new-school sensibility.

So beautifully written, so gripping, so perfect. And the last line.soooo clever!

With economical strokes of his pen, Peter Swanson presents us with a clever homage to the Golden Age of Mystery which keeps you guessing right to the end.

Yet again Peter Swanson delivers an impeccable thriller ... A first-class novel that will please fans of traditional mysteries as well as thriller enthusiasts.

A smartly entertaining reimagining of Agatha Christie's classic And Then there Were None ... Swanson cunningly plays with readers' heads as we hope so-and-so gets it next, but not so-and so. In addition to the suspense - who's doing this, and why? - there's lots of literary wit.

I loved this, Swanson's sharp and insightful characterization brought to life a fascinating premise, beautifully worked out.
