Doesn’t so much break the fourth wall as crash through it in a bulldozer ... very well executed indeed * Guardian * A crime novel that unpicks traditional storytelling ... engrossing, surprising, clever, genre-bending -- Val McDermid Phenomenal ... totally unique ... a treat for every murder mystery fan -- Janice Hallett One of the most unique and meta murder mysteries you will read all year * i * Fun, clever, and innovative. A remarkable novel by a major talent, who has created a crime novel that feels entirely unique -- Stuart Turton A thoroughly original suspense novel that hops across elements of the genre – a diabolical locked-room mystery interspersed with a fascinating primer on the form – while always being tremendous fun to read -- Chris Pavone, author of Two Nights in Lisbon A brain-teaser and a crowd-pleaser. I loved it -- Benjamin Stevenson, author of Everyone in my Family Has Killed Someone West Heart Kill is a brilliantly crafted crime novel that wears its influences on its sleeve, and in doing so manages at once to wrong-foot the reader and the genre entirely. A terrific, thrilling and novel debut -- A. E. Gauntlett, author of forthcoming The Stranger at the Wedding Both honouring the classic crime genre and turning it on its head, this is a talented, unique read that we predict will perform superbly * Belfast Telegraph *
