* This audiobook has been auto-narrated by AI British male narrator Archie.* A new adult dystopian mystery from Lou Collins, for readers of The Hunger Games and Divergent. In a city where beauty is outlawed, someone's still collecting it. In the walled city of Scolaris, knowledge is scripture and beauty is a crime. Quill has broken that second law her whole life, hoarding forbidden beauty wherever she spots it. She's a Defecto, a servant whose name buys her nothing above her station, born without the right to an education and unable to stop craving one anyway. Then a scholar is found dead in the Great Library, and the man who raised her, the only family she has, is arrested for his murder. To save him, Quill has to brave what no Defecto's ever survived. She has to ask the questions Defectos aren't allowed to ask. She traces a trail that reaches from the missing Defectos nobody bothered to search for, through the forbidden texts hidden on the Library's highest shelves, to a killer who collects the one thing Scolaris outlawed. Beauty, one body at a time. The city calls it order. Quill's starting to suspect it's just another word for silence. Book One of The Scolaris Chronicles. A dystopian mystery about who's allowed to be curious, and who pays for it. Praise for this work: “A thrilling, fascinating mystery set in a society devoid of creativity, but rich in the pursuit of knowledge. A servant girl joins forces with a young city guard to solve a recent rash of murders, revealing an astounding conspiracy that stretches far beyond their cities. You will want to read this to the very end. If you adore mystery with a touch of fantasy, you’ll love The Death of Knowledge.” Priya Khajuria, author of Bollywood P.I. California Dreaming ????? A fantastic debut novel! "A friend recommended this book to me, and it was a winner. This unique story is based around the fictional city of Scolaris, which is split up into five sectors and where knowledge is king. When someone is murdered in the city, Quill and Red take it upon themselves to search for the truth. The writing style is unique and flows well, and the character development is spot on. If you’re an armchair sleuth and enjoy a good murder mystery, you’ll adore this book.”, ?????, Thrillerseeker, Goodreads review "Are you seeking a new, sink-your teeth into, dystopian/futuristic fiction read to get into? For me, this ticks so many boxes and is like a perfect mash-up of like Handmaid's Tale meets Noughts & Crosses meets The Northern Lights Trilogy meets a really good whodunit." @reading_in_the_fast_lane, book blogger ????
