The Opposite of Murder: the twisty new thriller from bestselling author of The Couple at the Table

Sophie Hannah

Twisty, ingenious, unguessable . . .

'So clever, and has the perfect twist' GILLIAN McALLISTER

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?

Can someone be guilty of the opposite of murder?
