The Ending Writes Itself
‘In the running for the best mystery of 2026. With a trove of tropes that mystery lovers will love, it will remind you, in the best way, of Agatha Christie.’ Stephen King * 'A cracking read' Val McDermid * It’s the perfect plot. All it needs is a killer ending. Six authors. One private island. Seventy-two hours to write the ending. * World-famous author Arthur Fletch is dead. His final novel, the most anticipated book in history, remains unfinished. But the ending won’t write itself. When six struggling authors are invited to Fletch's private Scottish island and presented with the opportunity of a lifetime, the plot thickens: whoever writes a worthy ending will receive a game-changing book deal and two million dollars. Why have they been chosen to attend? Who is behind the invitation? And just how far would they go to secure a place on the bestseller list? They have just seventy-two hours, a typewriter and a blank page. All they have to do is write… Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder. * ‘Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None meets Yellowface… Great fun!’ Kate Mosse ‘A great locked-room thriller and a brilliant satire on the publishing industry’ Karin Slaughter 'Hugely entertaining and thrilling’ B A Paris 'Full of twists and turns … A must-read for any mystery fan!' G.T. Karber ‘Fiendishly clever and compulsively readable… An absolute must read’ Ellery Lloyd ‘Funny, razor sharp and scarily relatable’ Sarah Crossan 'A wonderfully twisty mystery that plays with all the tropes we know so well. An absolute delight to read!' Phoenicia Rogerson
