About this listen

'A fantastic read. Mind bending, gut wrenchingly tense and one of the most original stories I’ve read in years. It was an absolute treat' - John Marrs, author of The Vacation

A New York Times Best Thriller Pick for 2022

Bestselling author Adam Hamdy returns with The Other Side of Night, an utterly unforgettable tale of love, loss and redemption.

When disgraced former police officer Harriet Kealty discovers a plea for help in the margins of a second-hand book, she sets out to unravel a mystery that quickly leads her to confront some uncomfortable ties to her own life, including her ex-lover Ben.

Following the deaths of his close friends, Ben became an adoptive father to their orphaned son Elliot. But Harriet suspects that Ben knows more about these deaths than he’s willing to say…

What starts as a simple investigation becomes something entirely different in this moving story that will open hearts and minds as it answers the question: what would you do for one more moment with someone that you love?

Critic reviews

A big-hearted, big-brain, novel that you'll finish in three days and think about for the rest of the year. Wonderful.

(Stuart Turton)
Remarkable. Adam Hamdy may have created a completely new crime genre. (Anthony Horowitz)
The Other Side of Night is like no crime novel I’ve ever read. The pages almost turn themselves and when I was finished I couldn’t stop thinking about the story’s incredible twists, turns, and surprises. (James Patterson)
A strange, compelling, and ultimately moving head-spinner of a novel (John Connolly)
The Other Side of Night is a surprising and cleverly constructed rollercoaster read. (Karin Slaughter)
A genre-bending page-turner—existential, emotional, and packing a twisty, gut-punch of an ending. (Matthew Sullivan, author of Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore)
Mind-bending! This intriguing and thought-provoking thriller is a profound exploration of how far some are willing to go in the name of love. A fantastic twist you’ll never see coming. (Liv Constantine, internationally bestselling author of The Stranger in The Mirror)
Absolutely brilliant. Weaving themes of the nature of time, love, loss and regret with elements of neuro-science into a genuinely wonderful plot line, Adam Hamdy's The Other Side of Night has taken his writing to another level. With a thriller-level sense of foreboding and tension, this is a genre-busting novel full of big ideas. I was blown away. (Manda Scott)
The Other Side of Night is a mind-bending mystery that, by the time it reaches its extraordinary end, leaves no twist unexplained, no thread untied. An utterly satisfying read. (Ryan Gattis
)
Poignant and exquisitely written, The Other Side of Night kept me gripped from the first page to the last, and beyond. An intriguing tale of grief and enduring love, it’s extraordinary. (E. V. Seymour)
Emotional, heart-warming and thought provoking, The Other Side of Night is one of those rare books that you’ll still be thinking about long after the last page (Jenny Blackhurst, the internationally bestselling author of How I Lost You)
Hold onto your sanity. This psychological thriller will keep you wondering which strange details are real and which emerge from the minds of the characters. The lonely boy, the disgraced police officer, the bizarre scientist--each has a dark secret, and a dark problem to solve. The Other Side of Night is imaginative and thought-provoking, fiction at its best’ (Mike and Kathleen Gear)
The Other Side of Night is a mesmerizing tale of love, loss, and the human condition, certain to transport readers while simultaneously transforming their imaginations. It will captivate and challenge perception while raising the question, what is reality vs grand illusion? It’s guaranteed to be amongst the classics you’ll read time and time again’ (Eric Bishop

Beautifully written with a gripping story. Already reading a second time to catch anything i missed the first read. Absolutely recommend.

Amazing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Long-winded and laborious execution. The twist, when it finally came, was so underwhelming and rather silly.

Pointless
