The Opposite of Murder

Out  in hardback, ebook and audio January 16th 2026

Jemma Stelling has confessed to a murder — one she can’t possibly have committed.

She has an unshakeable alibi: when Marianne Cass 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?

REVIEWS

“I loved this book. It’s so clever, and has the perfect twist. Anyone can write something that is just a lie, but this, a kind of dual truth, takes real skill. A killer last line, too.”
Gillian McAllister, bestselling author of Wrong Place, Wrong Time
