For a brilliant detective and an avid mystery reader, truth really is stranger—and deadlier—than fiction in a suspenseful and wickedly entertaining novel about the games killers play.
In 1985, Kat McCann was six years old when renowned Austrian detective Alik Lisser solved her mother’s murder. And unfortunately proved Kat’s father as the culprit.
Ten years later Kat is still obsessed with the heroic criminologist. She’s also addicted to the bestselling novels inspired by Alik’s ingenious deductions—penned by the grande dame of whodunits, who’s a bit of a mystery herself. Kat has devoured them all. Even the one based on her father’s crime.
When Kat and Alik fatefully cross paths again, a friendship evolves, and Alik is delighted to share the secrets of his success with such an eager and clever girl by inviting Kat to solve a murder of her very own. One that challenges everything Kat believes about the detective, an elusive author, and Kat’s notorious past.
Now, as fact and fiction and truth and deception collide, it’s all Kat can do to survive the shocking twist ending to her own life story.
“The title is a warning to both Corin’s resourceful heroine and his readers. A rabbit-hole whodunit full to overflowing of Easter eggs.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Both a brilliant love letter to the mystery genre and a clever deconstruction of what makes it special. The voice will draw you in, and the ending will knock you out. The title says it all: Assume Nothing.” —Rob Hart, USA Today bestselling author of Assassins Anonymous
“Assume Nothing lives up to its title and will keep you enthralled from its opening chapter until its startling conclusion—leaving you longing for the company of Corin’s memorable protagonist and sharply plotted page-turner.” —Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity and Alter Ego
“Assume Nothing is a wickedly entertaining novel that blurs the boundary between fiction and reality, perfect for fans of The Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. Corin has devised the ultimate game of cat and mouse, where the stakes are as deadly as they are unpredictable.” —Michelle Gagnon, author of Killing Me
“Comic book writer Joshua Corin delivers a dollop of metafictional creepiness in this playful whodunit set in 1995 Boston.” —Publishers Weekly
