West Heart Kill: A novel

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA NEW BLOOD DAGGER AWARD LOOKING FOR AN ANYTHING-BUT-ORDINARY WHODUNIT? Welcome to the West Heart Club. Where the drinks are neat but behind closed doors . . . things can get messy. Where upright citizens are deemed downright boring. Where the only missing piece of the puzzle is you, dear reader. A unique and irresistible murder mystery set at a remote hunting lodge where everyone is a suspect, including the erratic detective on the scene-a remarkable debut that gleefully upends the rules of the genre. "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, best-selling author of Two Nights in Lisbon An isolated hunt club. A raging storm. Three corpses, discovered within four days. A cast of monied, scheming, unfaithful characters. When private detective Adam McAnnis joins an old college friend for the Bicentennial weekend at the exclusive West Heart club in upstate New York, he finds himself among a set of not-entirely-friendly strangers. Then the body of one of the members is found at the lake´s edge; hours later, a major storm hits. By the time power is restored on Sunday, two more people will be dead . . .
