Stuart Turton writes high-concept mysteries that place detective structures inside unusual speculative or historical settings. The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle traps its narrator in a country-house murder, forcing him to relive the same day through different bodies until he can identify the killer. The Devil and the Dark Water moves to a seventeenth-century ship threatened by murder, sabotage and rumours of the supernatural during a voyage from Batavia to Amsterdam. The Last Murder at the End of the World combines an isolated community with a countdown and a crime whose solution may determine whether anyone survives. Turton's novels are intricate, plot-driven and deliberately puzzle-like, fitting locked-room mystery, speculative crime and historical thriller. Read more Less
