AJ Finn (real name Daniel Mallory) has posted The woman at the window in 2018. It was a huge success and a (failed) film was made from it. Then, he walled himself up in a literary silence that was only pierced by a few “scandals” (he blithely lied about his family history) and the appearance of his name on the covers of novels – those of others, for which he delivered glowing reviews. Get here End of the storywhere a crime novel author asks his number one fan (also an expert in detective fiction) to write his biography. Quickly, because he is dying. And his past, marked by tragedy (20 years earlier, his wife and their son disappeared), deserves clarification. The biographer will therefore not be idle. The reader, for his part, will have to be patient. Because if this claustrophobic novel keeps you in suspense, it also drags on. Particularly in its denouement: explained and over-explained, the end of the story of End of the story is slow to arrive.
