Description:
This is a murder mystery with a twist. From the start of the book you learn that all the major characters have died or disappeared in an untimely manner but the question is whether this is a coincidence or whether someone is behind these events and, if so, who. The style is, I believe, unique being written in a modern form of the way Dracula was written. In Dracula there was no narrator but a series of diary entries with occasional newspaper articles; in this book the diary enries are replaced by chatroom conversations and the lead publication is a magazine article which leads the reader on the journey through the story. It is at times humorous, at times quite dark and overall well-written. Certainly worth trying if you like a novel which is novel!
