You don't remember what happened the day before yesterday, because what you remember is only yesterday. So how would you solve a murder that happened a day before yesterday?

Sophia Ayling is murdered, and to investigate it, DCI Hans Richardson has to go every mile to put the perpetrator accountable in front of the law.

Mark Evans is a best-selling author of many books. He is married to Claire for the last 20 years, without reproducing a child. His wife suffers from unidentified depression, and he is mostly concerned for her, and never showing his sufferings by verbal communication, but written. Their life seems very comforting, until the day a police officer Hans shows up at their doorstep to proclaim the murder of someone, Mark may know her if he confesses, or later, it would divulge that Sophia Ayling was a mistress to him.

Claire has had an uncomfortable time knowing what Mark has been up to in these years. So she takes the help of her Idiary because the characters in the book can't remember their past much. What they have written before would help them what their life was up to.

The police officer Hans has to occupy Sophia's Idiary to discover did she have any acquaintance with Mark and if yes, how long they had been familiar with each other.

But, the story has something else to show you, to flabbergast your prediction one might develop while reading a thriller. All the discoveries the characters recalled through their IDiary may become debunked or the intensity of various revelations may diminish, while you are having a last ride to the chapters.
