Imagine waking up in a hospital with no memory and you’re the lead suspect in a murder investigation of your ex-fiancée. That’s exactly how “The Crime Writer” by Gregg Hurwitz begins.
When Andrew Drew Danner, a crime novelist, is tried for the murder of his ex-fiancée, Genevieve Bertrand, beside whose body he was found holding a bloody knife, he pleads not guilty. He has no memory of how he got to the crime scene because of a breakdown caused by a recently removed brain tumor. Once he's found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity, Danner sets out to find the real killer—or discover some very nasty things about himself. Someone's also trying to frame him for a second murder that appears to be similar to that of Bertrand. Luckily, Danner gets help from old friend Chic, an ex-professional baseball player, and Lloyd Wagoner, a troubled police criminalist.
I am glad I didn’t read the negative reviews prior to getting the book. This might have dampened my spirits. True, the book has a melancholy narrative; but please, Drew is being charged for murder. He’s not sure if he did it, plus a piece of his brain is floating in a jar. I think the book was set up perfectly.
Fantastic book. Fantastic writer.
