What to expect

Pushed to breaking point, Cara Burrows flees her home and family, and heads for a five star spa resort. All she wants is space and time to think, far from everyone she knows. Instead, she gets a shock in the middle of the night when she is given the key to a room that's already occupied - apparently by a father and daughter, who are equally shocked to be woken by a stranger. Back at reception, Cara gets an apology and the key to a new room, and she imagines the drama is over...

America's most famous murder victim, Melody Chapa, has been dead for years. Her parents are serving life sentences for killing their young daughter. But if Melody's dead, how can Cara have seen her?

Critics Review

Outstandingly brilliant

Clare Mackintosh

This clever, captivating and consistently funny whodunit could well be Hannah’s best contemporary novel to date

Sunday Times

A top-notch page-turner full of intrigue and unforgettable characters – Sophie Hannah at her absolute best.

Liz Nugent

Gripping – and wryly funny – page-turner.

Good Housekeeping

With more twists, twirls and turns than a Quidditch match, DID YOU SEE MELODY? will keep you guessing – and turning pages – right till its explosive end.

Heat

Sophie Hannah adds a wickedly satiric edge to the ‘is she/isn’t she’ scenario, ridiculing the court of American public opinion while providing a tense and twisty mystery.

Evening Standard

Did You See Melody? is Sophie Hannah at her very best. Twisty as a corkscrew and totally entertaining, it is the definition of a page turner – I read it in one day. Put everything on hold and pick up this book now. Brilliant

Jenny Blackhurst

This chilling offering is yet another page turner from the queen of psychological thrillers.

Closer

A fast paced, exhilarating read with a fantastic central plot that keeps you guessing right till the end.

Kate Hamer

Brilliant writing, great story – what more could you want?

B.A. Paris

In Hannah’s capable hands, the psychological thriller is elevated

Stylist

Beautifully plotted, Did You See Melody? begins with an intriguing premise and pulls you through the story with breath-taking twists from that moment on…I loved everything about this novel, from the setting to the witty and vivid characters to the immensely satisfying ending. I will be recommending this one to everyone – and you will, too

Elizabeth Haynes

Hannah lures in the reader with her usual sneaky prowess . . . you think you know what’s going on, but you don’t. Imaginative plotting and tricky characters whip you around until you just give up figuring out the end and hang on. If you’re looking for a terrific crime thriller for your next relaxing escape, this is it (but you might want to double-check your room number first).

Julia Heaberlin

An intriguing premise, a brilliant setting and a conclusion that will haunt you – Did You See Melody is utterly addictive.

Emma Kavanagh

A zingingly fresh take on the psych thriller

Anya Lipska

Brilliantly plotted with a superb setting and unforgettable characters. Fast-paced, packed full of intrigue and moments of piercing wit. Fabulous.
