Eight Detectives - Alex Pavesi

Why not join us for a lively discussion of what should prove to be a riveting addition to your crime fiction reading. Chosen as the Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month, Alex Pavesi's genuinely original thriller cleverly expands on the idea that murder mysteries follow a simple set of rules.

Grant McAllister, an author of crime fiction and professor of mathematics, had at one time sat down and worked them all out. But that was 30 years ago. Now he's living a life of seclusion on a quiet Mediterranean island - until Julia Hart, a sharp, ambitious editor, knocks on his door. His early work is being republished and together the two of them must revisit those old stories.

But as she reads them, Julia is unsettled to realise that there are parts that don't make sense. Subtle clues that seem to reference a real murder, and one that may have remained unsolved for three decades...
