‘Every novel is a puzzle, and every reader a sleuth’ An outrageously original debut novel and a fiendishly brilliant puzzle the likes of which you will never have read before.

'A diabolical locked-room mystery interspersed with a fascinating primer on the form' Chris Pavone ‘Any respectable practitioner must follow the rules in making the truth – however skilfully camouflaged by lies – accessible to all’ It's the Fourth of July weekend at the prestigious West Heart country club. Gathered for cocktails on the first evening are just some of the guests: the club president, the treasurer and his pregnant wife, the snooping school boy, the bereaved father, the taciturn caretaker, the prospective member, the private detective... And there will also be a body. And a fiendish mystery to solve. But everything else is all to play for. And you are about to find out that you have a role to play in this mystery too…. West Heart Kill is an outrageously original and imaginative murder mystery that is both a love letter to the greats of classic crime fiction and a fiendishly brilliant puzzle the likes of which you will never have read before.
