The Murder in Chapter Six

[astree]

Early in the story, the author mentions "except the murder in Chapter Six."

I was unable to find any direct reference to a killing or murder in Chapter Six ("The Banishment").  This leads me to suspect that either there was an error on the part of the author, the "murder" is a type of metaphor, or there is something in the words or wording itself.

I have several ideas on this, but don't want to say too much yet.

hi astree,

the narrator is referring to a book he was reading, not to this book he is currently writing. see the opening sentence to chapter 2 "Ten years ago I read a novel about a clandestine social club..." It's chapter 6 of this novel he means. Not sure which book he is referring to or if it contains any clues? Best on your treasure hunt.

Thanks for pointing that out. You are correct, makes sense.
