A triumph

A smart, modern mystery

A novel for our times

Brims with exuberant inventiveness

Combines farce and conspiracy thriller while retaining the author’s familiar sense of detachment

Cynical but heartfelt, utterly flippant yet deadly serious

A conte philosophique on our tendency to see conspiracies everywhere… in the end, a damning confirmation of the long moral and civic decline of Italy over the past fifty years

Eco’s novel on post-War Italy inevitably turns into a detective story. But it's one without a culprit: like all the great detective stories of [Italy’s] recent history...[which] Eco revisits at high speed in this fast-paced, frequently entertaining novel

Practically a manual on today’s media

A kaleidoscopic, playful, yet deadly serious satire

Thrillingly tense and twisty, a great read

A heart-thumping psychological mystery that ticks all the boxes . . . with twists galore, it's impossible to guess the shocking ending

Fast-paced and chock-full of twists, Last Seen Alive is both absorbing and gripping. After reading it you'll never dream of a house swap again

Thrilling . . . superb plotting. I could hardly catch my breath between twists!

It's so twisty, turning and grippy. Highly recommend it!

I love stories where you're not quite sure who is telling the truth! This one kept me guessing
