I just finished True Crime Story by Joseph Knox and can’t help the feeling that there is more to then ending then meets the eye. I find it hard to believe that the author would plant a seed that Joseph himself was involved in Zoe’s case only to have it go no where. The flatmates always described him as creepy, weird, and dark energy….And then there’s the fact that he told evelyn/the readers that he didn’t even realize who Zoe was and how his exgirlfriend was her flatmate at the time….all while Evelyn has been sending him notes on this case for a year….In addition, through his emails with Evelyn, he started to want to be attached as a coauthor and Evelyn very clearly said no and he seemed annoyed by this. She emailed him the final clue that brought the whole case together and she died the same day when she went to see Connor. Connor was said to have committed suicide. But….I don’t know something feels fishy here. In addition, it turned out that Connor was 7 years older than Zoe, which would make him the same age as Joseph was around her death (he states his age in the beginning of the book when he tries to remember hearing about the murder). Did connor and him know each other? Perhaps Joseph wanted the fame of solving the case and be the head author of the book (which he did) so he got involved somehow with her death. Anyone else?
