A PROPULSIVE DEBUT MYSTERY FROM EVELYN CLARKE, THE BRILLIANT AND DIABOLICAL CREATION OF CAT CLARKE AND V. E. SCHWAB
Six authors.
One private island.
Seventy-two hours to write the ending that will change their lives.
Named one of the Most Anticipated Mysteries of 2026 by GoodReads, Marie Claire, and Page Six.
"In the running for the best mystery of 2026. With a trove of tropes that mystery lovers will love, it will remind you, in the best way, of Agatha Christie."-Stephen King
Arthur Fletch, one of the world's bestselling novelists, is a reclusive genius known for his iconic protagonists and fiendish twists. When six struggling authors are invited to spend a weekend on his private Scottish island, they arrive to discover a shocking secret: Arthur Fletch is dead . . . and his last book is unfinished.
Desperate to publish the novel, Fletch's agent and editor have summoned these writers in the hope that one of them will imagine a worthy ending for this final book. To sweeten the deal, they are offering an irresistible prize: in addition to ghost-writing the last chapter--for a mind-boggling sum--they will also help the lucky writer successfully re-launch their own career, guaranteeing future bestsellers. The catch: the writers have just seventy-two hours to finish Fletch's magnum opus.
It's the perfect plot. All it needs is a killer ending.
"In the running for the best mystery of 2026. With a trove of tropes that mystery lovers will love, it will remind you, in the best way, of Agatha Christie." - Stephen King
"This captivating thriller is a must for every library and a great choice for book clubs." - Library Journal (starred review)
"The result is nothing short of dazzling." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"High-concept and highly entertaining." - Kirkus Reviews
"Prolific fantasy writer V. E. Schwab and YA author-turned-screenwriter Cat Clarke teamed up to create the Evelyn Clarke persona. Their first novel under the pseudonym is a mystery-and a send-up of the publishing industry itself-in which six authors are summoned to a private island and tasked with writing the ending to the final book from a bestselling author after his untimely death. As you can expect, this sets up a delightfully twisty locked-room mystery full of quirky characters." - Marie Claire
"Six writers are brought to a remote Scottish island to finish a beloved mystery novelist's final book-but not all is what it seems! And there's a ticking clock! The premise alone sounds delightful but when you learn that Evelyn Clarke is the pen-name for the duo of V. E. Schwab and Cat Clarke, you're more or less guaranteed a page-turning treat." - Lit Hub
"HarperCollins' highly-hyped The Ending Writes Itself is actually written by a mystery duo under the pen name Evelyn Clarke, and that in itself intrigues me enough to want to read it. It's also about writers, who are invited to a private island to complete an unfinished book-with just 72 hours to spare-by its deceased author. Sparing synopses of the book provide a tantalizing glimpse into what promises to be a killer mystery novel." - Page Six
"What a ride! Oh, the way I soaked up every single minute of this book!" - The Gloss
"Fans of Agatha Christie's locked-room mysteries and modern tales like Knives Out will fall for The Ending Writes Itself, which masterfully blends classic mystery elements with genre-bending tropes. Crafted with razor-sharp wit and a meta twist, this satirical take on the publishing world ensures readers will hang on every word, right up to its breathtaking finale." - The Nerd Daily
"This is the debut novel from author Evelyn Clarke, and it's a good thriller, with lots of twists and turns and backstories on most of the characters. More novels like this, and she will be a force in the industry." - Red Carpet Crash
"Smart, original, and completely addictive. . . The Ending Writes Itself is both a great locked-room thriller and a brilliant satire on the publishing industry. An absolute must-read" - Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of This Is Why We Lied and After That Night
"The most fun I've had with a book in a very, very long time." - A. J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of End of Story and The Woman in the Window
"Fiendishly clever and compulsively readable, The Ending Writes Itself is both a page turning locked room mystery and a gimlet-eyed look at the business of writing books. An absolute must read." - Ellery Lloyd, New York Times bestselling author of The Club and The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby
"Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None meets Yellowface, this is a quirky murder mystery full of quirky characters and satisfying twists. Great fun!" - Kate Mosse, internationally bestselling author of The Map of Bones and The Ghost Ship
"A cracking read." - Val McDermid, internationally bestselling author of Silent Bones and Past Lying
