Publisher Description

For fans of Matt Haig and Anthony Horowitz, a “strange, compelling, and ultimately moving head-spinner of a novel” (John Connolly) in which the lives of a disgraced police officer, a prolific author, and an upstanding citizen are inextricably bound together by a series of mysterious deaths.

The Other Side of Night begins with a man named David Asha writing about his biggest regret: his sudden separation from his son, Elliot. In his grief, David tells a story.

Next, we step into the life of Harriet Kealty, a police officer trying to clear her name after a lapse of judgment. She discovers a curious inscription in a secondhand book—a plea: Help me, he’s trying to kill me. Who wrote this note? Who is “he”?

This note leads Harri to David Asha, who was last seen stepping off a cliff. Police suspect he couldn’t cope after his wife’s sudden death. Still, why would this man jump and leave behind his young son? Quickly, Harri’s attention zeroes in on a person she knows all too well.

Ben Elmys: once the love of her life. A surrogate father to Elliot Asha and trusted friend to the Ashas.

Ben may also be a murderer.

Compulsively readable 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, author of How I Lost You).

So good until it wasn’t

This was a great read and highly engaging until the last 25 % of the book which took a complete left turn and went totally off the rails. Not only did the narrative take a path that was neither set up in the plot before, it was absolutely nonsensical and left plot holes and inconsistencies you could drive a freight train two. It became like two books poorly patchworked together and such a shame because it had been a well written and engaging novel

The other side of night

Instead of developing themes, the author just kept repeating the emotional dilemmas of the characters, relying on maudlin sentiment and superlatives to try to get his point across. The female protagonist came across not as a person but as a prop in the tragedy of the hero, a tortured genius. I think there was a good story in there but it got buried under that rubble.
