Malcom Kershaw is a used book store owner that specializes in mystery novels. When the store first opened, Malcom created a blog entitled "Eight Perfect Murders" in which he lists 8 of his favorite murder mystery books.Years later, the FBI approaches Malcom about his list. It seems as though someone is using Malcom's list to recreate these murders in real life.
Malcom starts to wonder if the killer is someone he knows and soon begins to suspect everyone around him. Malcom wonders what he's started by creating this list and wonders if the FBI will find the killer before he does.
This was a pretty fast moving book. The idea of the book (that someone is copying murders in books), to me, made a good subject for Eight Perfect Murders. There were several twists in the book, although the ending when the murderer was revealed was kind of anticlimactic for me. There was one other twist at the end that was a little surprising, though.
