Synopsis

A breathtaking novel of psychological suspense from the author of Little Face and The Wrong Mother

Featuring the return of Sergeant Charlotte "Charlie" Zailer and DC Simon Waterhouse, The Dead Lie Down is another sophisticated, addictive read from the new mistress of the page-turner.

Ruth Bussey once did something wrong-horribly wrong-and was nearly destroyed by her punishment. Now, she has tentatively rebuilt her life and unexpectedly found love with a man named Aidan Seed. But Aidan also has a secret-he killed someone years ago, a woman named Mary Trelease. Ruth's horror turns to confusion when she realizes that she knows Mary Trelease, and Mary is very much alive.

About this title

Review:

A masterclass in plotting, with twist after twist (Sunday Times)

This utterly gripping thriller should establish her as one of the great unmissables of this genre. (The Times)

Beautifully written and precision-engineered to unsettle (Guardian)

A truly gripping thriller (Psychologies)

Sophie Hannah is the new British queen of the psychological thriller (Heat)

'Each of Hannah's four accomplished novels is constructed of shiny moments captured in precise prose, which, taken out of context, make little sense even as they fascinate. It's only when you get to the end and step back that you can understand the intricate, seductive architecture of the whole. Hannah has an eye for detail that renders her fictions claustrophobically real. The Other Half Lives is a page-turning cliff-hanger, intriguing and perfectly judged.' (Sydney Morning Herald)

'The promise of the revelation is so intriguing you'll be hard pressed to put this down.' (Western Australian)

'The eternally twisting plot keeps readers hanging to the last' (MX magazine, Sydney)

'Ripples with twists and suspense, and is written with the emotional depth her readers have come to expect' (The Age, Melbourne)

'A truly gripping thriller' (Psychologies on THE OTHER HALF LIVES)

Book Description:

She plays on your fear. She tugs at your emotions. And she keeps you guessing to the very end . . . The new psychological suspense novel from the phenomenal word-of-mouth bestselling author
