The Last Murder at the End of the World

Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.

I loved the premise of this book. All of humanity lives on one island because a fog of insects has taken over the world. Three scientists and a hundred villagers live on this island. However, one of the scientists is murdered, which triggers a security system. If this scientist died without disabling the system, the fog would take over the island in four days. Now, they have to solve her murder to prevent the fog. But all their memories have been lost.

Sounds complicated? It is. And this isn’t even the bulk of the plot. I should have known that the author of The 71/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle would write another complex book that I mostly understood. I didn’t like 71/2 Deaths much, but this one was pretty good. I’m always predisposed to love dystopia, and as bonkers as this plot was, I was kept guessing throughout. I really enjoyed this one.
