Summary
Todd Fremde is an author, a writer of police procedurals and criminal mysteries. Invited to the remote island of Dearth, far across the Dream Archipelago, to talk at a conference, he finds himself caught up in a series of mysteries. How can Dearth claim to be completely crime-free, yet still have an armed police force? Why are they so keen for him to appear, but so dismissive when he arrives? Is his sense of time confused, or is something confusing happening to time itself?
And how does this all connect with a murder committed on his home island, ten years before, and seemingly forgotten?
Fremde's investigation and research will lead him to some dangerous conclusions...
Christopher Priest is a genre-leading author of SFF fiction. His novel, THE PRESTIGE, won a number of awards and was adapted into a critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated film directed by Christopher Nolan (TENET, INCEPTION) starring Hugh Jackman (THE GREATEST SHOWMAN, X-MEN), Christian Bale (THE BIG SHORT, BATMAN BEGINS), Michael Caine (THE ITALIAN JOB) and Scarlett Johansson (MARRIAGE STORY, THE AVENGERS).

Another absorbing tale from the Dream Archipelago
This was a lot of fun, a great take on the crime novel through the eyes of a crime novelist trying desperately (and failing) to not become an amateur sleuth himself. Also the Dream Archipelago is such a great idea so I enjoyed reading another story set there.
Very good narration too, suited the story and characters perfectly.

Another excellent story by Mr Priest
Another fascinating exploration of the dream archipelago this time framed as a compulsive murder mystery which is also a contemplation of the thriller genre. Both witty and compelling, this is one of Priest's most accessible novels yet still manages to include the hidden depths of time distortion and unreliable experiences that set his body of work apart from the rest of an overcrowded field.

Things are not what they seem...
I was intrigued by the blurb I had read beforehand and expected to be unable to follow the story or to be mystified. Instead I found the twists and turns highly entertaining and I loved the surprise ending. I strongly advise anyone wavering with indecision to just 'go with the flow' of this delightful detective story. Oh, and brilliant tongue-in-cheek writing and narration.

The Evidence
Not up to the usual Christopher Priest story ( I’ve read them all) I was waiting for something to happen all the way through. I see that this is what the books about, a crime thriller without a climax! I still love The Glamour best
