In this book, we get to read about Malcolm, who co-owns a bookstore in Boston. Some time before the story began, Malcolm wrote a blog about the perfect eight murders (based on classic mystery books). The story begins with a FBI officer in his business questioning him about the blog post as there have been some murders similar to the ones posted in his blog.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story; the story had great twists while others were easily predictable. Can't wait to read more books written by Peter Swanson.

cleverly plotted murder mystery, but unfortunately, not one of Swansons' finest.
