The Other Side of Night

A Novel

By: Adam Hamdy

Narrated by: Justin Avoth

For fans of Matt Haig, Anthony Horowitz, and David Mitchell, a “strange, compelling” (John Connolly) genre-bending literary thriller that blends mystery, philosophy, and time-bending suspense in a story of love, loss, and second chances.

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).

Wish the first part was as good as the final

Perhaps because it was an audible book and not hard copy, but it was just so slow to get going. I did enjoy the conclusion.

Gorgeous narration does the story justice

I loved the complex flow of threads through the narrative, especially the way time is an ever changing character. The voice performance is exceptional.

The Other Side of Midnight

Incredible story that leaves you guessing. I never came close to guessing what was going on- well written, beautiful prose, and intriguing characters. Very well done. Thoughtful and at times heartbreaking.

I waited a week to post this.

This book has great reviews, I honestly knew nothing about it, I simply bought it because everyone said it was great. So I hated the first half of this book, I almost quit it several times, but all that animosity was brilliantly resolved, and this book I agree is great.

Great narrator
Great prose
Great ending

WOW!!!!!

What an emotional, complex novel. A true masterpiece worthy of all five stars, and then some! Probably the best novel I have heard in many, many years. Justin Avoth is a wonderful narrator.
