Stuart Turton's The Last Murder at the End of the World is a wild amalgamation of genre elements, a unique post-apocalyptic world facing another end, and a science fiction allegory contemplating the end of the world and humanity.
The novel works effectively by seamlessly blending post-apocalyptic science fiction with a murder mystery, with elements of the genres complementing each other and helping redefine the traditional whodunit.
The story revolves around a small Greek island where 122 villagers and three scientists live, following a set of rules and a curfew due to the constant threat of a deadly fog that had previously wiped out most of humanity 90 years ago.
