In The Impossible Thing by Belinda Bauer, a single stolen object links a dangerous childhood dare on the English coast to a modern-day break-in, with consequences that echo across a century. It’s a smart, propulsive crime novel with the page-turning pull of a mystery thriller, and a quietly big heart.
On a summer evening in 1926, six-year-old Celie Shepherd is starving, frightened, and hanging from a cliff face to snatch something breathtakingly rare. That impulsive theft sets her life on a new path—one shaped by secrets, survival, and the long shadow of one “impossible” prize. A hundred years later, when a house is ransacked and only a dusty case is taken, the same question rises again: why does this thing keep being stolen?
Perfect for readers who love clever whodunnits, dual timelines, and character-driven suspense.
Add it to your basket and let Bauer’s twisty storytelling do the rest.
