Eight Detectives
5 journalers for this copy...
This is a really clever (but not annoying) book. It tells the story of a publisher's assistant who goes to find a reclusive author in order to re-publish his one book. He wrote a series of stories exploring the principles of murder mysteries. The stories themselves are quite varied in style and content. There are a couple of really good twists at the end of the novel. I can think of a couple of people who will like this one.
And off it goes to my Easter Exchange partner! Happy reading and hope you enjoy the treats.
Thank you for the lovely Easter gift package, I love it all!
This looks very interesting, I'm looking forward to reading it but as my TBR pile is massive it may take me a while to get to it :-)

Thank you so much for this wishlist book! So nice to have finally met you in person
An excellent and very clever novel. Constructed like one of those Russian dolls that you open up to reveal another Russian doll inside and here we have a story within a within another story. I kept reading very carefully as I didn't want to miss any clues but the ending still took me by surprise - always a sign of a good story ! Thoroughly enjoyed this clever novel!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Released at the pre Xmas meet up
Caught at the meetup, thank you. Sounds good.
Very good novel, cleverly written. I admit I preferred most of the stories in their earlier-presented forms rather than the later. The final couple of chapters were good though - some nice twists.
Released as a belated birthday gift
