Description

A brilliant high-concept thriller - a debut with all the intrigue of Gone Girl and the drama of Before I Go To Sleep - just how do you solve a murder when you can only remember yesterday? There are two types of people in the world. Those who can only remember yesterday, and those who can also recall the day before. You have just one lifeline to the past: your diary. Each night, you write down the things that matter. Each morning, your diary tells you where you were, who you loved and what you did. Today, the police are at your door. They say that the body of your husband's mistress has been found in the River Cam. They think your husband killed her two days ago. Can you trust the police? Can you trust your husband? Can you trust yourself?

Yap is a phenomenon - Guardian A 2017 literary event - Newsweek The intrigue of Gone Girl and the drama of Before I Go to Sleep - iNews A great murder mystery with a unique and unsettling twist. This book delighted and confounded me in equal measure! Felicia Yap's YESTERDAY is a massively clever thriller that investigates our notions of memory and identity with a clear, unflinching eye This was an amazing book, very original and despite challenging the reader's suspension of disbelief it drew me in very quickly.
