Ink Ribbon Red

Reviews

A brilliant work of illusion: murders, real and imagined, nestled within one another! The clues are all there, if you can see them. A book you finish and then start again just to see how thoroughly you’ve been fooled! Ink Ribbon Red is the epitome of the artful murder mystery and Alex Pavesi the master puppeteer of literary crime, creating a unique yet relatable cast on pages that won’t stop turning. I was utterly hooked Quirky and unpredictable, Ink Ribbon Red is a Rubik's cube of unreliable narratives Ink Ribbon Red is a thriller for clever people. This dark-hearted, light-footed mystery-thriller — an inspired mash-up of And Then There Were None, Cluedo, and Lucy Foley — plays fair, fierce, and fast: like the what-could-go-wrong party game that goes very wrong indeed for its cast, it’s dangerous fun, and just the tonic for readers hungover on same-old-same-old crime fiction. Praise for Alex Pavesi's sensational bestseller, Eight Detectives One of the year's most entertaining crime novels So, so clever . . . Agatha Christie would take her hat off to this one - bravo! A wonderfully tricksy debut and a loving tribute to the golden age of crime fiction A box of delights . . . Pavesi's revelations are completely unexpected, right up to the end Exquisitely original Fun There are reveals within reveals as the bamboozled reader tries to decide what’s real and what isn’t. More fun than Eight Detectives A spectacularly complex, crafty puzzle with characters who come more and more to life as the stakes get higher A new spin on the traditional country house murder . . . when the style is this good, it’s worth the investment.
