'Doesn't so much break the fourth wall as crash through it in a bulldozer' Guardian
'Engrossing, surprising, clever, genre bending' Val McDermid
'Diabolical' Chris Pavone
You are reading the blurb for an experimental novel by a debut author called Dann McDorman. It is book set sometime in the 1970s, in an exclusive US country club and if you read the book itself, you will very quickly meet the man you think will be the protagonist, private detective Adam McAnnis. You don't know who has hired him, but you do know from the very first line of the book that someone will die (maybe him? maybe the driver of the car he is a passenger in? maybe someone we are yet to meet?). But you can't imagine in what ways this story will unfold. We can absolutely promise you that.
West Heart Kill is an outrageously original and imaginative novel that plays with the very nature of story telling, beginning with a detective but definitely not ending with a solution
'Well, I have no idea how this ended and need someone to talk to about it!' Rachel S, bookseller

Doesn't so much break the fourth wall as crash through it in a bulldozer ... very well executed indeed
Guardian
One of the most unique and meta murder mysteries you will read all year
i
A crime novel that unpicks traditional storytelling … engrossing, surprising, clever, genre-bending
Val McDermid
Fun, clever, and innovative. A remarkable novel by a major talent, who has created a crime novel that feels entirely unique
Stuart Turton
Phenomenal … totally unique … a treat for every murder mystery fan
Janice Hallett
West Heart Kill is a brilliantly crafted crime novel that wears its influences on its sleeve, and in doing so manages at once to wrong-foot the reader and the genre entirely. A terrific, thrilling and novel debut
A. E. Gauntlett, author of forthcoming The Stranger at the Wedding
