The Last Murder at the End of the World

4.5 rounded up to 5. The ending, for this reader, was too convoluted - I lost track of what was what and didn't care who the murderer was so much but up to that point, a truly enthralling world with a great deal to say about human's penchant for greed, selfishness, sorrow, kindness, while also working in social commentary, climate issues, and strong familial bonds. Turton is a favorite author and he never disappoints. I enjoyed his comments at the end about writing stand-alones and about the synergy between writer and reader. Made me love him even more.
