Mystery fans who enjoy the glamour of White Lotus and the ingenuity of Anthony Horowitz or Benjamin Stevenson will be drawn into this suspenseful tale set on a remote Greek island in 1960.

When a storm leaves a handful of travelers stranded at the only hotel on the island of Utakos, they expect a peaceful escape. Instead, they wake to the shocking discovery of Edith Mander, a reserved British guest, lying dead in a beach cabana. While the scene hints at suicide, Ormond Basil, a faded film star once adored for playing Sherlock Holmes, begins to suspect something far darker. The other guests, half convinced by his screen persona, look to him to uncover the truth.

With its sharp plotting and sly nods to golden-age detective fiction, Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s The Final Problem is both a classic whodunit and a playful meditation on the relationship between detective, suspect, writer, and reader. Its final twist will leave even seasoned mystery lovers surprised and satisfied. PS Check out Club Dumas too! #littlebornwand compnay #thefinalproblem #arturoperezreverte

A wonderful mystery with a small group of suspects stranded on an island during a storm. Ormond Basil is asked by the guests to investigate because he played Sherlock Holmes in fifteen movies. Set in 1960, movie star references abound, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Everyone is a suspect but no one knows the means or motive.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it had that locked-room element that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel that worked in this tense atmosphere. It had that mystery element that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel of this story. It had that element that I was wanting from a washed-up actor using a role to solve a case, its a great concept. Arturo Perez-Reverte was able to create a strong storyline and can't wait for more.
