Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson
4.0

Such a fun read for 17 hours in an airport and Coronavirus isolation! Years ago mystery bookseller Malcolm Kershaw published a blog post listing his candidates for eight unsolvable murders on his bookstore’s web site; now it appears someone is putting his list in action. Kershaw lost his taste for reading mysteries years ago, for reasons that emerge as the story progresses, but he remembers enough to help FBI agent Gwen Mulvey make sense of these crimes. Almost no one is who they seem in this book, and it’s packed with great reading suggestions. Definitely a page turner and a good diversion for times when you need a distraction.
