This week, we’re giving away three copies of The Ending Writes Itself by Evelyn Clarke. The Ending Writes Itself is a sharp, fast-paced mystery set on a remote island, where six struggling authors race to complete the final chapter of a dead literary legend’s unfinished novel. As ambition, secrets and rivalry collide over seventy-two hours, the competition turns deadly in this clever locked-room thriller and biting satire of the publishing world. Here’s the blurb:
A PROPULSIVE DEBUT MYSTERY FROM EVELYN CLARKE, THE BRILLIANT AND DIABOLICAL CREATION OF CAT CLARKE AND V.E. SCHWAB
Six authors.
One private island.
Seventy-two hours to write the ending that will change their lives.
“Smart, original and completely addictive. . . . ‘The Ending Writes Itself’ is both a great locked-room thriller and a brilliant satire on the publishing industry. An absolute must-read.” – Karin Slaughter
Arthur Fletch, one of the world’s bestselling novelists, is a reclusive genius known for his iconic protagonists and fiendish twists. When six struggling authors are invited to spend a weekend on his private Scottish island, they arrive to discover a shocking secret: Arthur Fletch is dead . . . and his last book is unfinished.
Desperate to publish the novel, Fletch’s agent and editor have summoned these writers in the hope that one of them will imagine a worthy ending for this final book. To sweeten the deal, they are offering an irresistible prize: in addition to ghost-writing the last chapter – for a mind-boggling sum – they will also help the lucky writer successfully re-launch their own career, guaranteeing future bestsellers. The catch: the writers have just seventy-two hours to finish Fletch’s magnum opus.
It’s the perfect plot. All it needs is a killer ending.
