If you like crime and sci-fi this is a mandatory purchase!

I loved Five Minds by Guy Morpuss and the moment I saw Black Lake Manor I knew I *must* read it. His writing and stories are extraordinary.

A locked room mystery, AI and time manipulation. I don’t know if you could make a better combination of themes for me. 

The plot is great, the crime intriguing, the murder weapon really smart and the investigation definitely unique. I loved the backstories including one from the hundreds years ago.
It’s a brilliant mix of an old and a highly advanced worlds.

Plus I’ve learnt something about octopuses!

I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next!
