    What if the only way to prevent a murder is by confessing to it?

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

    Praise for The Opposite of Murder

    • Twisty - Crime Monthly, Ones to Watch for 2022One of the best crime writers currently working - The ScotsmanThe Couple at the Table is a wise and witty portrait of modern marriage and murder - The TimesComplex and satisfying outing - Crime TimeA fabulously twisty and entertaining read! - My WeeklyA new novel by Sophie Hannah is a cause for celebration. The Couple at The Table has everything you want in a mystery - a cryptic threat, a murder, a closed circle of suspects and an unguessable solution. Completely ingenious, entirely satisfying - a delight from start to finish - Alex Michaelides, author of THE SILENT PATIENTI have just finished The Couple At The Table and it is BY FAR Sophie Hannah's best one yet. Relatable, funny, high concept and so satisfying I watched in awe as the pieces fell into place. Bravo! - Gillian McAllister, author of THAT NIGHTYou'll love this brain-melting thriller! - Fabulous
