An extraordinary novel. Intricately plotted, beautifully written and impossible to put down.

McAllister is a writer at the absolute top of her game

Brilliant. A genre defining book. So clever. It’s going to be huge
Times Radio
Channels Groundhog Day with an endlessly replayed murder, as a woman’s unassuming son kills a stranger – over and over again. The familiar plot motif is given an unguessable reset, and McAllister ensures that characterisation is as central to the novel’s success as the plotting
