## Description

Sophie Hannah's unguessable thrillers have readers hooked! 'INGENIOUS! I challenge anyone to unravel this clever whodunit' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Sophie Hannah could well be our modern Christie, such a deliciously complicated plot. Her best yet!!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This murder mystery really did blow my mind. It kept me awake at night! Absolutely brilliant' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This lived up to its press for me. I loved every page -- a truly impossible puzzle!!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some secrets are so dark you keep them even from yourself . . . When Amber Hewerdine consults a hypnotherapist as a desperate last resort, she doesn't expect that anything much will change. She doesn't expect it to help with her chronic insomnia . . . She doesn't expect to hear herself, under hypnosis, saying words that mean nothing to her: 'Kind, cruel, kind of cruel' - words she has seen somewhere before, if only she could remember where . . . She doesn't expect to be arrested two hours later, as a result of having spoken those words out loud, in connection with the brutal murder of Katharine Allen, a woman she's never heard of . . .
