Absolutely brilliant' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Sophie Hannah at her twisty, absorbing, brilliant best' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'INGENIOUS! I challenge anyone to unravel this clever whodunit' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Sophie Hannah could well be our modern Christie, such a deliciously complicated plot.

Jemma Stelling has confessed to a murder - one she can't have committed.
