The problem with telling tales is that you might get caught out by the twist- the most original literary thriller of 2024, from the author of the sensational Eight Detectives

A group of friends gather in a country house for a birthday party.

At their host's request, they each write a short mystery. They draw names from a hat- in each story, one of the group is the killer, and another the victim.

Of course, when given such a task, it's only natural to use what you know. Secrets. Grudges. Illicit love.

It's just that once you put it in a story, the secret is out.

Oh, and just one more thing- this is a story that ends with a murder...

Reviews for Ink Ribbon Red

Ink Ribbon Red is the epitome of the artful murder mystery and Alex Pavesi the master puppeteer of literary crime, creating a unique yet relatable cast on pages that won’t stop turning. I was utterly hooked -- Janice Hallett, bestselling author of The Appeal A brilliant work of illusion: murders, real and imagined, nestled within one another! The clues are all there, if you can see them. A book you finish and then start again just to see how thoroughly you’ve been fooled! -- Guy Morpuss, author of Black Lake Manor Quirky and unpredictable, Ink Ribbon Red is a Rubik's cube of unreliable narratives -- Martin Edwards Praise for Alex Pavesi's sensational bestseller, Eight Detectives -- : One of the year's most entertaining crime novels * SUNDAY TIMES, CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH * So, so clever . . . Agatha Christie would take her hat off to this one - bravo! -- Sarah Pinborough A wonderfully tricksy debut and a loving tribute to the golden age of crime fiction * Mail on Sunday * A box of delights . . . Pavesi's revelations are completely unexpected, right up to the end * New York Times *
