When Malcolm Kershaw, a bookseller in Boston, published a list in his blog of, in his opinion, the eight perfect murder cases in literature, little did he know that years later it would have far reaching consequences. Therefor it’s only understandable that, when he gets a phone call from an FBI agent one cold February afternoon, he is at first pretty surprised. The agent is investigating a number of unsolved murder cases and has came across his list on the internet. It soon becomes clear that somebody is indeed taking inspiration from that said list and what then follows is the chilling realisation that yes, there is a serial killer on the loose and it must be somebody who knows Malcolm Kershaw intimately…
The book has a great premise and is easy to read. As I read the ebook version of it though, (and did not pay too much attention to the bar at the bottom of the page indicating the number of pages left to read) I was surprised by the sudden ending. I can recommend this crime novel to anybody interested in the great classics in crime literature!
