THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
On a mysterious island where crime does not exist, a seemingly impossible murder has been committed?.
Can you join together with a very unlikely amateur detective to solve the Last Murder at the End of the World?
The small group of villagers who live on the tiny island lead simple, but happy lives. There is no world beyond their shores, but they’re content with what they have. Only Emory feels frustrated. Unlike everyone else on the island she doesn’t yet seem to have a purpose. All she seems to be good at is asking questions.
But then one of the scientists who guides the villagers is found murdered and as there has never been a crime before, there is no detective to call on. There is only Emory and her gift for asking questions. So now Emory must explore every inch of her island – from the cliffs to the jungles, from sandy beaches to the very top of the mountain – to find clues that apparently don’t exist.
How can she solve a mystery on an island where no one lies but there’s still no way to find the culprit?

In stock
Excellent … I won’t give anything else away as the discoveries are part of the joy, but I was engrossed in this high-concept thriller and can’t wait to see what Turton does next
Observer
Turton’s puzzle box draws on every sci-fi classic from Blade Runner to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
As a mystery, it is more intriguing than involving. As prognostication, it seems only too likely to be the shape of things to come.
Sunday Times
The fiction of Stuart Turton gloriously bends both the reader’s mind and the crime genre
Financial Times
This story will grip your attention until the very last page and is sure to be another bestseller
Glamour
A clever dystopian thriller . . . another twisty masterpiece from the Sunday Times bestselling author
Woman’s Weekly
A mind-bending, genre-blending, boy-that-ending mystery unlike any I've ever read … I feel, as I read a Turton book, like I'm watching a rocket erupt from the launchpad — I've got a grin on my face and my heart in my throat
A. J. Finn
Combining several genres, but most prominently science fiction and crime, Turton has created what is probably his best piece of work to date
Buzz
This is an ambitious, compelling novel in which nothing is what it seems
Guardian
A smart and suspenseful page-turner
SFX
This startlingly original slice of dystopia also serves up a compelling mystery. Genius
Heat
If you have ever had the experience of reading a Stuart Turton novel, you will know what it is like to have your brain fried – in the very best way
i
Turton (The Devil and the Dark Water) continues playing fast and loose with genre boundaries in this dazzling postapocalyptic thriller that blossoms into a race against time whodunit . . . This dystopian detective story fires on all cylinders
Publisher’s Weekly
Even better than The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. Turton's cemented his reputation as the king of the mind-blowing mystery
Gareth Rubin, author of Sunday Times bestseller, THE TURNGLASS
An extraordinary novel. Midsommar meets Station Eleven meets The Mist meets a fresh post-apocalyptic murder mystery. Audacious and utterly mind-blowing. Stu Turton is one of the most inventive writers working today
Will Dean
Stuart Turton’s literary pyrotechnics are on full display in this magnificently sly novel. Part Holmesian deduction, part Shyamalan level twists – Turton somehow manages to reinvent both himself and the mystery genre with every book. An absolute blast
Benjamin Stevenson
Stu Turton has done it again. I finished The Last Murder at the End of the World last night and it might just be his barmiest, cleverest and creepiest mystery yet. Buckle up, because you’ve never read a whodunnit like this one
Tom Hindle
Stuart Turton is a reliably excellent and inventive thriller writer and his new novel … is full of his usual clever, unpredictable twists and skilful pacing
Independent
The Last Murder at the End of the World is wildly inventive. Stuart Turton is a unique talent
M. W. Craven
Stuart Turton is the master of intricately plotted, brilliantly imaginative murder mysteries. His latest delivers all that wonderful head-scratching complexity in a darkly-drawn future world with a message about what makes us human at its heart. I loved it
C. J. Tudor
[Turton] has returned with possibly the most audacious hook of his career
