You.
Yes, you, reading this.
Get in the car.
Sit in the back - you're joining the detective and the other guy who's driving. They're both in the front. Don't think about the other guy. He's not important.
You're going to the West Heart clubhouse. The country club that's so swanky it's in the title of this book. Kill. It's not that kind of kill. Or maybe it is, after all.
You arrive, it's the Fourth of July weekend and look - there's cocktails on the lawn. What's your poison?
Don't flick forward. You just have to wait. Especially for the part when you find out what happens on page XX.
'Diabolical' Chris Pavone

Recenzii
Doesn't so much break the fourth wall as crash through it in a bulldozer ... very well executed indeed
The book has an exquisite atmosphere and I found the writing extremely engaging. It makes for highly compulsive reading; I loved all the tangents on the history of the genre. I'm very keen to see what Dann McDorman does next!
A crime novel that unpicks traditional storytelling ... engrossing, surprising, clever, genre-bending
Phenomenal ... totally unique ... a treat for every murder mystery fan
One of the most unique and meta murder mysteries you will read all year
Fun, clever, and innovative. A remarkable novel by a major talent, who has created a crime novel that feels entirely unique
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
A brain-teaser and a crowd-pleaser. I loved it
West Heart Kill is a brilliantly crafted crime novel that wears its influences on its sleeve, and in doing so manages at once to wrong-foot the reader and the genre entirely. A terrific, thrilling and novel debut
Both honouring the classic crime genre and turning it on its head, this is a talented, unique read that we predict will perform superbly
