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 ????
