The Gone World is brilliant: part noir murder mystery, part alternate history, part here-comes-the-apocalypse, and part thriller. It’s unique, mind-bending fun.

A time-traveling investigator jumps to the future to find out who committed an especially brutal murder, but she finds far more questions than answers. The longer she stays, the more complicated things become.

Also, the end of the world is coming, and it’s coming sooner all the time.

Recommendation: Read it. This is good, hearty, occasionally brutal stuff.
