No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done - Sophie Hannah | Spotlight Feature @RandomTTours

You think it will never happen to you: the ring of the bell, the policeman on the doorstep. What he says traps you in a nightmare that starts with the words, ‘I’m afraid…’

Sally Lambert is also afraid, and desperate enough to consider the unthinkable. Is it really, definitely, impossible to escape from this horror? Maybe not. There’s always something you can do, right?

Of course, no one would ever do this particular something – except the Lamberts, who might have to.

No one has ever gone this far. Until Sally decides that the Lamberts will…

My thanks to Anne Cater of Random Things Tours for the tour invite. For my turn today, I’m shining a spotlight on No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done – the latest from Sophie Hannah. It is published by Bedford Square Publishers in Kindle, audiobook and hardback formats (19 June 2025) with the paperback to follow on 12 March 2026.

What others are saying:

‘I loved this. Such a clever, twisty book with as many layers as a matryoshka doll plus I loved the meta-fictive aspects. Works on so many levels. Bravo!’ Harriet Tyce

‘An incident involving a dog in a small village escalates to an all-out conflict, turning neighbour against neighbour, and culminating in murder. But who did it? Who was it done to? You’ll have to read to the final line to find out! Hugely entertaining and infectiously funny, this joyous adventure is one of Sophie Hannah’s very best books. A delight from start to finish.’ Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Silent Patient.

‘Funny, clever and audacious. I bloody loved it!’ Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things
