Opposite of Murder (2026)

Sophie Hannahs jaw-dropping, twisty and unguessable new thriller has readers hooked. What if the only way to prevent a murder is by confessing to it? Jemma Stelling has confessed to a murder she cannot 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? Readers praise Sophie Hannahs clever, absorbing and brilliantly complicated plot, calling the novel an ingenious, brain-bending and deeply satisfying impossible puzzle.
