Review by Mel on 2023-12-02

A mind-bending, genre-blurring thriller, The Other Side of Night is a book unlike any other. David Asha is haunted by the biggest regret of his life—leaving his son Elliot. In his grief, he writes their story, intertwining it with the life of Harriet, a former police officer who stumbles upon a cryptic message in a second-hand book: "Help me, he’s trying to kill me." As she investigates, she uncovers the tragic past of the Asha family and their connection to Elliot’s guardian, Ben. Is Ben truly who she thought he was? Or is Elliot in danger? This book keeps you guessing, offering a full-circle moment that will leave you reeling. If you enjoy twisty, unconventional thrillers, this one is worth the ride.
