The Book of Murder

I like the review given by Paul Pessolano on www.goodreads.com. Here are the excerpt :

This is a murder mystery that basically contains only three characters. Now how difficult can it be to figure out a "whodunit" when there are only three people to choose from? Kloster is an author in Buenos Aires who writes murder mysteries and has become very successful, the narrator of the story is a writer that has moderate success, and Luciana, a young college student, who takes dictation. 

When Kloste is accused of sexually misconduct by Luciana, his life begins to fall apart. His young daughter, who he adores, dies due to possible negligence by his wife. This might be due to his wife finding out about the pending lawsuit filed by Luciana. 

Kloster begins to write a murder mystery that may or may not have dire consequences for Luciana. Kloster writes about a murder that is very similar to the death of Luciana's boyfriend's death. Several years later Luciana's mother and father die, and again there seems to be some connection to the book Kloster is writing. Several years later Luciana's brother is murdered, and again, there is a similarity between his death and the book written by Kloster. 

Luciana believes Kloster is committing murder and is taking his time to ward off suspicion. Luciana believes her sister may be next and enlists another writer that she has worked with to bring Kloster to justice. 

A very unusual story that will probably leave you wondering if Kloster is a murderer or all of this in just coincidence. It leaves the reader questioning if they are looking at reality or deception. The reader will also question whether the deaths occurred before the book was written, or after the book was written. You tell me because I am still not sure.

The only thing I can tell for sure is that all incidents happened only after Kloster had written the scenes down ......

The ending, with the remaining survivor, Luciana's sister falls in love with Kloster is not a surprise to me. More or less I had half-expected it.

Nothing is solved in the end. yet it is an interesting read.
