A captivating mystery about a boy with synesthesia—a condition that causes him to see colors when he hears sounds—who tries to uncover what happened to his beautiful neighbor, and if he was ultimately responsible.
Thirteen-year-old Jasper Wishart lives in a world of dazzling color that no one else can see, least of all his dad. Words, numbers, days of the week, people’s voices—everything has its own unique shade. But recently Jasper has been haunted by a color he doesn’t like or understand: the color of murder.
Convinced he’s done something terrible to his new neighbor, Bee Larkham, Jasper revisits the events of the last few months to paint the story of their relationship from the very beginning. As he struggles to untangle the knot of untrustworthy memories and colors that will lead him to the truth, it seems that there’s someone else out there determined to stop him—at any cost.
Both a refreshing coming-of-age story and an intriguing mystery, The Color of Bee Larkham’s Murder is a poignant and unforgettable read—perfect for fans of bestselling authors such as Fredrik Backman and Graeme Simsion.

Review
I've never read anything like this. Completely original, and impossible to predict. I loved this book.
--Benjamin Ludwig, author of Ginny Moon
An original novel: poignant, engaging, at times suspenseful and even comic. It takes real skill to create a consistently credible child narrator, but I believed in 13-year-old Jasper and his confounding world. A triumph.--Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal
Jasper--whose world is both more colorful and more frightening than ours--is a character who will stay with me for some time. Harris has written a literary page turner that utterly captivated me. A stunning debut.--Cass Green, bestselling author of The Woman Next Door and In a Cottage in a Wood
I found myself not just drawn but expertly daubed in to Jasper's world, with its splattered sense of morals and innocence.--James Hannah, author of The A-Z of You and Me
In this fantastic debut, Harris enters the technicolor mind of 13-year-old Jasper Wishart... Readers enamored of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and The Rosie Project will delight in Harris's sparkling novel.--Publishers Weekly, starred review
A compelling and emotionally charged mystery that warrants comparisons to Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.--Library Journal
