'This lived up to its press for me. I loved every page - a truly impossible puzzle!!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What if the only way to prevent a murder is by confessing to it?
Jemma Stelling has confessed to a murder - one she can't have committed. She has an unshakeable alibi: when Marianne Upton was stabbed to death outside her home, Jemma was at the police station confessing to a murderous obsession with Marianne and a plan to kill her in precisely the way she was killed.
So is Jemma innocent? Or is she an ingenious, cold-blooded murderer?

Critic reviews
Why would somebody confess to a murder they have yet to commit? Hannah answers this with her trademark flair, creativity and stylish prose. I loved it (Gillian McAllister)
Such a clever, twisty book - I loved it! (Harriet Tyce)
An ingenious puzzle of a novel that crackles with energy and menace (Nicci French)
Original and thrilling. Sophie Hannah is a genuine storyteller. The definition of unputdownable (Michael Wood)
Clever, complex and compelling (Louise Beech)
Teasing and bizarre, Hannah's writing is not for everyone, but it might appeal if you like the idea of an author simultaneously telling a detective story and drolly deconstructing the genre
This one will keep you guessing . . . a properly tricky puzzle
Oh this is very clever indeed . . .
This clever author is well known for her unreliable narrators. Once again she has come up with an engrossing tale... Witty and unpredictable
Brilliant
