‘A marvellously exciting – and thought-provoking – time-travelling murder mystery. Smart, funny, moving, atmospheric – I laughed a lot, cried once, could not stop reading, and now actually believe in time travel’ Simon Mason
‘This book is equal parts tension, explosive drama, and heart. I loved it‘ Ben Oliver
Millie has seven days to save Annie Driscoll from a terrible fate.
Millie doesn’t know how or why she has been brought into Annie’s life.
But she’s sure of one thing: Annie has already been dead for 68 years.
Struggling to come to terms with her uprooted life, Millie is living with her father and his new girlfriend in a building which used to house the most famous women’s prison in the UK. The only remnants of that place is the old prison clock in the hall – a clock that has long been silent.
When the clock begins to strike again one night, Millie meets a young, terrified woman in a cell. Annie cannot see her, but Millie realises that she may be the key to changing Annie’s fate – a fate that was sealed in 1955. But is there enough time for justice to be done?
The Midnight Clock is an immersive, imaginative novel for young adults in which past and present collide.

'The time-slip mystery feels completely believable, and keeps us eagerly turning the pages'
'I love a murder mystery story, and this one had everything I look for! ... It was the character that really drew me in though, brilliantly written with nuance and personalities that made them real. Millie is a main character that I rooted for in every chapter. This book is equal parts tension, explosive drama, and heart. I loved it'
