Thank you reading challenge! "Claire North's" book has been popping up as a recommended reading for me for nearly half a decade, yet the similarities between the jacket description and the plot of Ken Grimwood's Replay put me off from reading what seemed a highly hyped knock-off. With my local books...

Series: N/A Publisher: Redblock (2014) Genre(s): Mystery, Science Fiction, Historical Fiction I really liked this book and YAY for Claire North for making non-linear narrative work!
