The Mystery Writer is another fast paced crime novel with many twists by Sulari Gentill. Theo arrives unexpectedly at the home of her brother, Gus, who had moved to America from Australia many years ago and is now working as a lawyer. Theo also started studying law in Australia but has given it up to become a mystery writer.
During the day, Theo usually writes in a cafe near home where a number of other writers also work. There she meets Dan Murdoch, one of her favourite authors, and they become friends. Theo's life changes when she discovers Dan's body. This begins a series of nightmarish events with subsequent murders and Theo, her brother and a friend being main subjects.
There are many layers adding to the main story in this novel including eccentric families who are preparing for future disaster and the influence of conspiracy theories in creating and altering public opinion to their will. As the suspense grew I was reluctant to put his book down until the last chapter.
