How do you stop a murder when it’s already happened?

By: Gillian McAllister

Narrated by: Lesley Sharp

Brought to you by Penguin.

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....

Critic reviews

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)

A mind-bending page-turning thriller. Non-stop thrills right from the start. A rare gem (Steve Wright)

Wow. Amazing! Loved every page . . . If you are looking for a summer read, I've found it! (Holly Willoughby)

Extraordinary (Harriet Tyce)

It's absolutely AMAZING. The plot is astonishing - original and ingenious (Marian Keyes)

The best book I have read in a very long time. Genius. Simply genius. This is McAllister as the very top of her consistently excellent game. Brilliantly plotted, perfectly paced, characters I was invested in. This is a masterclass of exactly what a novel should be. Taught, tense, not a wasted word. This brilliantly plotted novel had me on the edge of my seat. You have to read this book (Adele Parks)

What a great book!

Unexpectedly clever and well written book with a compelling storyline that really pulled me in. Had someone told me I’d enjoy a book involving one of the central themes (trying not to spoil things here!) I’d have been decidedly sceptical, however this was SO well done that I found it fascinating, rather than implausible.

Narration is excellent and although this was the first book I’d read by this author it certainly won’t be my last.

Great book

I was hooked from the beginning. The book kept me guessing throughout and the twist was excellent.

A truly excellent listen!

This is probably the best thing I have heard in close to a decade listening to Audible. The story is gripping and incredibly well thought out, the performance is excellent and it is really thought provoking about the various paradoxes of time travel. Bravo!

This book was excellent! It made me think a lot

This is an interesting take on solving a crime - lots of twists and turns. Lots to think about. I loved it!

Smart and original story with great performance

I never write reviews but felt compelled to after listening to this book.
I loved it. Compelling and original story which just keeps bringing surprises. Just when you think you’ve figured out the twists another one comes along to add a layer.
Alongside the story is great characters you really feel invested in. A couple of times I had to pause the book to think about what they had said, musing on life, death, motherhood, family expectations. Could be quite heavy topics but came out as moments of reflection.
Performance wise nothing t fault the accents helping to build believable and rounded characters and bring them to life.
Would highly recommend

Couldn’t turn it off

What a story! A must listen or read. The ending was not what is expected

Compelling story skillfully narrated

Could not stop listening! Surprises along the way and keeps you guessing till the end

Mindboggling Brilliant!

This story start at the end and ends at the starting point. The main character goes step by step into the past and peels away layers of mysterious incidents with astonishing results. It gripped my mind right up until the end. A very intelligent enjoyable read.

What a story!

intricate, well thought out storyline, like an onion the layers were peeled back until you got to the crux of the story.
Loved it

Excellent!

I absolutely loved it. One of the best stories I've ever listened to. A clever plot, brilliant writing and highly engaging performance. Simply a gem.
