A masterful whodunnit! - Number 1 NY Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner
The envelopes are addressed to simply Katja above the name of a Cambridge college, but no one by that name attends or works there. The early letters are desperate; the later ones are angry. No one knows who the messages are meant for, until a seemingly accidental death involves the police, who are already overwhelmed by an unidentified body in the fens.
Detective Inspector Chloe Frohmann struggles against DCI Morris Keene's theory of their case even as she's forced to confront evidence that he may be right, and lives hang in the balance.
Winslow is brilliant at portraying the ragged fragments of these lives. What emerges isn't a single killer with motive and means, but a tangle of stories crossing and colliding, stray intersections of incidents and accidents, misunderstandings and misreadings, all thanks to the myopia of individual perspectives and the self-centeredness of individual desires. -The Washington Post
The Start of Everything has the artistry of literature, the grittiness of a best-selling crime thriller, the complexity of an academic puzzle and characters you will not easily forget. - Booklover Book Reviews
Dazzling in its ingenuity and gripping in its suspense. - Shelf Awareness
