Brilliantly executed - I loved every page. -- Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go I've been a huge fan from the start, but Durrant has taken her writing to a whole new level with Lie With Me. The word-perfect portrait of character leading to disaster, the unfurling dread, the ingenious plotting... I feel sick with envy that I didn't write it myself. -- Alex Marwood, author of The Darkest Secret A perfect thriller: clever, classy and shocking. I read it in one day. -- Erin Kelly, author of The Poison Tree Grabs you from the first page and never lets you go. If, like me, you have been longing for a psycho-thriller of genius since you finished Gone Girl, then the wait is finally over. Sabine Durrant writes like a dream but weaves a story that is the stuff of modern nightmares. Is there a female writer who knows such a scary amount about the hearts and minds of men? I can't think of one. -- Tony Parsons, author of The Murder Bag Simmering with menace, and with a blisteringly taut and twisted plot. Simply superb. -- Sarah Hilary, author of Someone Else's Skin A perfect mix of a summer read set in Greece and an edge-of-your-seat suspense novel Red Magazine I absolutely loved it: claustrophobic, gripping, and beautifully written with a growing sense of foreboding until the unexpected, final twist. -- Claire Douglas, author of The Sisters Tense, darkly funny and morally complex. I wished Lie With Me wouldn't end. -- Tamar Cohen, author of When She Was Bad An exceptional novel that seduced me from the first page and tightened its grip with every chapter. I'm not sure it has released me even now. -- Claire Kendal, author of The Book of You I was absolutely hooked...Sabine builds up the sense of unease with unbelievable finesse. This book simply sings -- Jenny Blackhurst, author of How I Lost You Tightly plotted and taut with psychological suspense, I couldn't put down this gripping novel. In my mind, Lie With Me is set to be one of this summer's biggest hits. -- Lucy Clarke, author of The Sea Sisters Devilishly dark and addictive -- Paula Daly, author of The Mistake I Made Lie with Me reminds you that the past eventually has a way of catching up with you. In fact, it'll make you think twice before you even as much as slightly embellish the facts again. Amid all the lies, though, one inalienable truth - Durrant has written a clever and totally gripping thriller. -- T.R. Richmond, author of What She Left It is so skilfully done - Domestic Noir at its very finest. -- Julia Crouch, author of Cuckoo Praise for Sabine Durrant . Alternating between Lizzie's narrative and Zach's diary, it's splendidly creepy, with plenty of paranoia -- Guardian Fresh and compelling prose, packed with twists. A treat. -- Sarah Hilary, author of Someone Else's Skin Durrant's debut, UNDER YOUR SKIN, was among the best of the wave of psychological thrillers that appeared in the wake of Gone Girl's success. REMEMBER ME THIS WAY is better still...An elegant, quietly chilling illustration of the ways in which lovers blind themselves to reality Mail on Sunday Grips immediately... Durrant sustains the mystery throughout and offers a clever resolution The Times This is one super-disturbing psychological thriller Woman & Home Spellbindingly dark and intense drama Heat When a thriller leaves you looking over your shoulder, it's a sign the author's doing something right. In fact Durrant doesn't put a foot wrong with this assured and deeply unsettling chiller... Superb Sunday Mirror
