Story
Every object has a ghost. There is a small yellow backpack - half unzipped, mouth yawning to the pavement, contents strewn around it (a banana, an exercise book, a pair of scissors) - abandoned on a suburban footpath. Ten feet away, the rubber stamp of tyres, resisting clamped brakes, mount the curb and cut across the path. The tracks come to an end at a crippled stop sign. The street, a tree-lined suburban road dappled in late-afternoon sunlight, is calm. But anyone walking past can feel the ghosts: the prickle on the back of their necks that tells them something happened here.

Was the biggest case of his career the worst mistake he ever made? Ten years ago, DCI Jack Logan stopped the serial child-killer dubbed "Mister Whisper", earning himself a commendation, a drinking problem, and a broken marriage in the process...When another child disappears a hundred miles north in the Highlands, Jack is sent to lead the investigation and bring the boy home. But as similarities between the two cases grow, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago?

Detective Alan Auhl does things his own way - and gets results. He works cold cases now. Like the death of John Elphick - his daughters are still convinced he was murdered, the coroner not so sure. Or the skeleton that’s just been found under a concrete slab. Or the doctor who killed two wives and a girlfriend and left no evidence at all....

Story
When I reach my husband, we kiss against the perfect backdrop of the shimmering turquoise sea. The congregation claps, and I turn to smile at them. Then my smile freezes. I see him. Sitting there among my loved ones. An uninvited guest who knows the truth about me and the terrible thing that happened 10 years ago. The man who won’t ever let me be happy. And as he steps forward, asking for everyone’s attention, my legs buckle. I know he wants to destroy my perfect new life.

Publisher's Summary
"Either Side of Midnight is a gripping, gritty thriller with an ingeniously shocking premise and twists and turns you’ll never see coming!" (Liane Moriarty)
One million witnesses. One impossible murder.
An electrifying thriller with a mind-bending premise: one million viewers witness a popular TV presenter commit suicide live on air - yet his twin brother is convinced it was murder.
How can it be murder when the victim pulled the trigger?
At 9.01 p.m., TV presenter Sam Midford delivers the monologue for his popular current affairs show Mr Midnight. He seems nervous, and the crew is convinced he’s about to propose to his girlfriend live on air. Instead, he pulls out a gun and shoots himself in the head.
Sam’s grief-stricken brother, Harry, is convinced his brother was murdered. But how can that be, when one million viewers witnessed Sam pull the trigger? Only Jack Quick, a disgraced television producer in the last days of a prison sentence, is desperate enough to take Harry’s money to investigate.
But as Jack starts digging, he finds a mystery more complex than he first assumed. And if he’s not careful, he'll find out firsthand that there’s more than one way to kill someone....
Either Side of Midnight is a stand-alone novel featuring Jack Quick.

Gripping but trigger warning
First off I'll say that this was a great book with excellent pacing and character development.
On the downside, I feel like a big red flag needs to be put up about suicidal trigger warnings. I knew that this book was going to involve a discussion around suicide from the outset but it is very present throughout the story and is integral to the plot. There are very vivid descriptions of what occurs which fits with the overall tone of the story but caught me off guard and were difficult to deal with.
There is a trigger warning and some resources at the end of the book but I really wish that this was also put at the start of the book.

A lot of good reviews but for me this book was pretty depressing. There are few promising narratives but ultimately it’s a sorry tale with no likeable characters.

This story gets you in right from the start, and keeps you there right to the end. The narration is some of the best I've heard, really suits the style of the book. Changes in pace, volume and tone are superbly timed. Don't hesitate, spend your credit on this right now!

I really did not enjoy this book. The theme was intriguing but certainly not entertaining. Bit long winded could have been shorter.
