CAN YOU STOP A MURDER WHEN IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED?


THE BOOK EVERYONE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT


It's every parent's nightmare.

Your happy, funny, innocent son commits a terrible crime: murdering a complete stranger.

You don't know who. You don't know why. You only know your teenage boy is in custody and his future lost.

That night you fall asleep in despair. Until you wake . . .

. . . and it is yesterday.

Every morning you wake up a day earlier, another day before the murder. Another chance to stop it.

Somewhere in the past lie the answers, and you don't have a choice but to find them . . .

Critics Review

  • A spellbinding “whydunnit” . . . A novel with a difference. Richly layered, it makes other psychological thrillers seem thin and unimaginative

    SUNDAY TIMES 'THRILLER OF THE YEAR'
  • It’s perfection, every word, every moment. A masterpiece . . . I had my mind blown apart. After I finished it I sat with my mouth hanging open in awe. One of the best books I’ve ever read

    Lisa Jewell
  • Skilful, satisfying. McAllister handles her Liverpool-set twist on Russian Doll and Groundhog Day with great skill. Tightly plotted . . . Don’t miss it

    Observer, 'THRILLER OF THE MONTH'
  • A mind-bending page-turning thriller. Non-stop thrills right from the start. A rare gem

    Radio 2 Book Club
  • Wow. Amazing! Loved every page . . . If you are looking for a summer read, I’ve found it!

    Holly Willoughby
  • Another ingeniously plotted genre-bender . . . McAllister succeeds in making us care, and the result is a tour de force
