This books begins with a transcript of a police interview into an investigation flashing back to 2007. This instantly gripped me and I thought it was an excellent way to start the book as it jumped straight into the story rather than taking a while to pull the reader in. The book then jumps forward to 2022 where Chelsea is released from serving a long prison sentence and the start of her new life on the outside begins.

The way the book alternated between past and present time as each chapter went on added a lot of depth to the book. I felt this provided a perfect amount of background into the character’s and really built a picture of how their lives had intertwined as certain events had happened. The amount of main characters within the book contributed towards adding suspense and mystery to the “who done it” edge of the plot whilst also being easy to follow who was who.

This was a fast paced book that kept me thoroughly invested throughout. The story progressed at a good pace, never leaving me feeling bored whilst reading it. I constantly questioned throughout what involvement each character could have had in the events that were unfolding, and the ending did not feel predictable in my opinion. Overall I think this was a great read and I would definitely recommend. Thank you NetGalley for my ARC.

A student is murdered by her flatmate, who serves 17 years in prison. The story is told across two timelines: from the viewpoint of the released culprit and also from her in the weeks and days before the murder. As the title suggests, the real murderer is still at large.
Ideal for fans of slow-burning, straightforward suspense.
With thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy in exchange for an independent review.

Upon publication, I will post this review on my blog and on GoodReads.

I quite enjoyed this book but it didn’t have many surprises. The characters were ok and the story plodded along without much tension and intrigue . I would recommend this book as it may appeal to others but only a 3 star from me

I had really high hopes for this novel and it is well written. However I started losing interest about 25% in as it wasn't well paced. It didn't feel like anything was really happening in either time lines

An incident happens at uni and Chelsea ends up paying the price. Facing all the constraints and uncertainty… this is one emotional rollercoaster!

Power… Notoriety… Fame… This book has it all & I just couldn’t put it down!

Perfect for those who enjoy:
- Fiction that touches on prison
- Stay up late reading
- Hard to second guess storylines
- Dual timelines
- Satisfying endings

With thanks to Penguin Random House, Michael Joseph and Netgalley for an ARC copy in return for an honest review.

First of all thank you for approving my request!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The authors writing style had me hooked throughout this book.

I didn't want it to end, a book I really couldn't put down.

Wow, this was a really gripping read! I had to finish it in one go! Chelsea jumped off the page for me and she was so believable. I really enjoyed reading this and I was not expecting who the culprit was in the end

This was a good story, I liked the style of writing and the past and present chapters. It was slightly too long in places.

when chelsea is arrested for her friends murder … did she really do it

as a reader i really enjoyed how each chapter was set in the past then future, it added an air of mystery to the plot.

the police interviews are also super interesting as an element to the story.

overall, this was a really well written murder mystery and i’d definitely pick up another book by this author in the future.

Absolutely brilliant from Annie Taylor. The book follows the story of Chelsea after she's released from prison and determined to prove her innocence. Highly recommended!!!!

Enjoyed this slow burn thriller. I liked the way it moved back and forward through time to reveal details. Might have been a little longer than necessary but still kept me reading.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 24th Oct. This was a fast- paced and thrilling read! I enjoyed the setting and the complex characters my favourite one was Chelsea.

I was gripped from start to finish I’d highly recommend this book to any thriller lover ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!

Just enough twists and turns.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

If you didn’t kill her took me on such a rollercoaster of emotions. I found the main character Chelsea was so well developed that I felt how it was all affecting her I absolutely loved a book where you can feel what the character is going through. It had me gripped from start to finish I could not put it down. It was such a mystery of whodunnit that I could not predict who it could be. It was a fast paced thriller which goes from past to present which helps with the suspense. I will definitely be recommending this fantastic thriller to everyone. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy.

An exciting and emotional thriller that keeps you guessing until the shocking ending. Lots of twists and turns and shocks. Brilliant!

Brilliant.
Fifteen years ago, Chelsea was convicted for the murder of her university roommate, Isabella. Now, she’s being released early, and she just has one thing on her mind – clearing her name. Chelsea has always maintained that she was wrongfully accused. Now’s her chance to prove her innocence, once and for all. But as Chelsea starts digging into the past, new details – and suspects – start coming to light. And the closer Chelsea gets to the truth, the more dangerous things become. She’s waited years to uncover the truth. But will the real murderer find her first - and silence her forever?
I loved it so much.
Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Michael Joseph UK for giving me an advance copy.
