Brilliant! Clever! Twisty! 2023 Favourites List! 🏆

An extremely unique, compulsively readable and addictive thriller!

A mother shockingly witnesses her 18-year-old son stab a man. Devastated, she and her husband wait for answers at the police station after he is taken into custody. The next morning she wakes up to discover that it is yesterday, the day before the murder. Time keeps falling backward as she searches for clues and the trigger that caused her son to become a murderer.

First thing — time travel books are NOT my thing. So please do not let that deter you from reading this if you feel the same. Time travels backward in this story but it’s not in a magical, step-into-this-closet kind of way. I was completely consumed and engrossed in this novel from the first to last page. It is such brilliant storytelling and a cleverly calculated plot. The amount of planning and organizing it must have taken to write this makes my head spin.

Though the story moves backwards, it isn’t confusing or complicated. There are many twists and surprises, but they all align and add up to jaw dropping perfection as the story unfolds. It is extremely well written and perfectly paced. The mystery, suspense and intensity grabbed me from page one and never let up. I was quite literally hanging on every word!

The atmosphere was thick with autumn vibes. Perfect reading for this time of year!

Overall, an EASY 5 stars! Highly recommend this unique mind bending thriller! It is my first book by this author and I am so excited to dive into her backlist!!
