Reading this book was like traveling on one of tose roads that are anything but straight. Twists and turns, red herrings and all. Then The ENDING!!
Holy cow it was crazy!

This was so good I didn’t even hate my three hour long commute. It was a one day read for me. Slay. Am I got a goodreads achievement hehe

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What did I just read? Maybe I went into this with high expectations because I loved Evelyn Hardcastle, but this was just did not check off the bullet points for me. Maybe I need to read it again for it to make more sense because mostly I just one step behind the entire time. The premise was intriguing, but the execution was poorly done and rather bland. 3 stars at best

I tried to read this book a few times but it is not for me. I thought the plot sounded great and the writing was good but something just didn't click for me.

I just couldn't get into this book, though I loved the 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. I will give it another go in the future. It was a little dizzying and confusing.

Atmospheric and detailed—a rich story, though the pacing made it harder for me to stay immersed.. I do recommend for avid readers.

Stuart Turton has done it again.....with a few caveats. While I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading this book, Evelyn Hardcastle will always be Turton's masterpiece. My immediate thoughts upon completion:

I had SO much fun reading this book. For me, it was the perfect mix of sci-fi and whodunnit, with Turton’s classic multilayered storytelling.

Sometimes the timeline didn’t really seem plausible, but I still loved it.

Only complaint: how did Niema get through the fog to the lake with Seth? Where was the lake? Why was there no fog there?? Are we really just never going to talk about it again?????

Strange tale of an island safe from the fog that ended the rest of the world. When one of the elders is murdered, they have to try to find the killer before the fog kills the, ARC.

The Last Murder at the End of the World has such an exciting premise. It also has some issues. The plotting is a bit messy and some of the discoveries made along the way are awfully convenient. There are definitely things that don't work, or that I had to handwave a bit. And yet, somehow, it still all comes together well. It's dramatic and tense and alien in all the ways you want a sci-fi thriller to be. The stakes are high, with the prose grabbing the reader and dragging them along whether they're ready or not. Is it perfect? Definitely not. There are some pacing issues in addition to its other problems, and yet I couldn't put it down for one minute.

Thank you to Sourcebooks Landmark for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I wanted to love this but I think it pushed the dystopian vibes a little bit too much for what I wanted. Definitely well written, just not quite for me.

This was such a weird book that kept me reading (short chapters helped) and guessing until the very end.

I would love to have had a chapter or two more into the far future so we could really know how everyone fared.

Will read more from this author- mostly because of the Afterword.

This was a DNF for me. I just couldn't grasp what was going on in the first few chapters and tried starting over. I was confused and unable to connect with the story. I'm sure this was a "me problem" and others have and will love it.

Turton excels at crafting puzzles within puzzles. The murder investigation is just the surface—beneath it lie secrets about the world’s collapse, the true nature of the survivors, and hidden agendas. The book explores what people will do to survive and whether their rules are justified—or just another form of control. Some readers might find the multiple twists and timeline shifts confusing, especially in the final act. The middle section drags slightly as Turton layers in backstory, though the payoff is worth it. The Last Murder at the End of the World is a brilliantly crafted, high-concept thriller that will appeal to fans of dystopian fiction and intricate whodunits. While it demands attention, the payoff is a satisfying, thought-provoking read.

While the premise is interesting, I could not get into the story. The writing was not enjoyable enough for me to finish reading it.

I had to read this one twice. The first time I couldn’t get into it and so I put it down as a DNF. But then I needed something for a challenge or readathon or something, and this fit perfectly. And I am so glad that I gave it another shot. I really this one was a wrong time the first time around. I really loved the world - post apocalyptic and that we are trying to solve a murder. I was trying to solve it along with our cast.

Sad to say I did not at all enjoy this book.. the premise is there but the the execution was all over the place

This was an interesting page turner about a post apocalyptic society. The twists and turns were great and kept me thinking about it after I finished.

This is my second Turton,and I wasn't disappointed. Even though I am not big on dystopia stories, this one worked. I love the way the author draws you in,and co fuses you u til the end. It was delightful.

Stuart Turton never ceases to amaze me. This post-apocalyptic story is full of twists and turns; it really was an emotional rollercoaster!

What begins with an unheard-of event in a small, isolated population (years after the world basically became uninhabitable) reveals much more than I could imagine. There are hints throughout the book pointing to things yet to be revealed; they are amazing in hindsight. The character development is excellent, and this was a book I just could not stop listening to.

I did enjoy this book but did struggle a bit following the storyline. I'll definitely look for other books by this author.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC
