3.0

My first Stuart Turton read was "The Last Murder at the End of the World" and it definitely won't be my last. The book is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the last humans escape to a Greek island to avoid a deadly fog filled with killer insects. But when someone is murdered, they have to solve it before the fog gets them.

The story is different and complicated, maybe a bit too much at times. I liked the plot but didn’t feel connected enough to the characters or their fate. However, the ending was exciting and made me keep turning the pages. I think a lot of people will enjoy this book even though it wasn’t a favorite for me.
