Hi everyone
I've just joined mumsnet specifically to ask this question!

I just got this book from Tesco, but it seems to be back to front? Is that how it is supposed to be?! I can't find anything on Google.

Page 418 is at the front and page 1 is at the back?!
I started reading it thinking it was some quirky way of writing but I already know 'who done it' and it's not making much sense. I put it on Audible to see how it starts on there and it starts reading the right way round?!

Please say I'm not going mad.
Pictures to show you

Oh no! This is definitely not right and is an author’s worst nightmare. Her publisher will want to know this, I know her editor so I could message her.

Oh yes please!
I think I'll pop back to Tesco and see if the others are the same!
Should I contact anyone?

I'm also a bit gutted as I was so excited to read it! Can't believe I preserved despite my confusion for 20 pages 🤣

I’ve emailed her editor. But yes, I would go back to Tesco and see if it’s just a one off?? (Such a good book btw!)

I'll pop back later and let you know!

Is it still worth me reading it even though I know?!

It’s a really fun read so I would say yes! There’s probably some other twists and reveals too.

Went back to Tesco and the others were the same!

How weird I’ve never seen that happen

I was dithering over buying it yesterday in Asda, unsure whether it would be a good read. The copy I looked at definitely began with Chapter 1 and, as far I know, continued in the right order.

This is how the kindle edition begins.
