An Unexplained Death

The True Story of a Body at the Belvedere

De: Mikita Brottman

Narrado por: Mikita Brottman

When the body of a missing man is discovered in the Belvedere, an apparent suicide, resident Mikita Brottman becomes obsessed with the mysterious circumstances of his death. The Belvedere used to be a hotel dating back to Baltimore's Golden Age but is now converted into flats, and as Brottman investigates the perplexing case of the dead man, she soon becomes caught up in the strange and violent secrets of the Belvedere's past. Her compulsions drive her to an investigation lasting over a decade.

Utterly absorbing and unnerving, An Unexplained Death will lead you down the dark and winding corridors of the Belvedere and into the deadly impulses and obsessions of the human heart.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Not just a thrilling whodunit, with new clues unfolding every chapter, it's a beautifully written elegy about the mystery of death . . . This is one riveting, heartbreaking read (SKIP HOLLANDSWORTH, author of The Midnight Assassin)

Gripping, immersive, and beautifully written, with an unsettling juxtaposition of criminality and mundanity. Brottman blends tragic and gruesome details with an intelligent and refined touch (HENRY BOND, author of Lacan at the Scene)

There is a beautiful circuit between Brottman's sense that people are constantly casually forgetting her, and her compulsion to devote a book to a person who is in a state of being forgotten (ALISSA BENNETT, author of Dead is Better)
