About this title

Review

An atmospheric thriller that takes the idea of six friends with a dark place in their past and gives it a series of fresh, chilling twists. A novel that literally makes you hold your breath then gasp out loud (Val McDermid)

What a marvel! A corkscrew-twisty, knife-sharp thriller - yet it doubles as a tender ode to loss and longing. Prepare to be haunted (A.J. Finn, no.1 bestselling author of The Woman in the Window)

An engaging tale of lust, rivalry and murder (Sunday Times, Pick of the best suspense novels)

A dark, deep, terrific thriller and a scorching portrait of friendship and its betrayal (Nicci French)

This enjoyably chilling suspense tale conveys both the thrills and the dangers of being a teenager on the brink of adult independence... The obvious questions of how she died and at whose hand are properly dealt with. But the fascination of this story is in the character studies of the surviving children, all grown up now and participants in a dark mystery that they all wish had never seen the light of day (New York Times)

I loved it. A SUPERIOR crime book (Marian Keyes)

She Lies in Wait delivers on just about every level - a killer premise, an absorbing plot that twists and turns at just the right pace, and in DCI Jonah Sheens a lead detective who has hit the page fully-formed and instantly likeable. One to watch! (Caz Frear, Richard and Judy bestselling author of Sweet Little Lies)

In this cracking, page-turning thriller, Gytha Lodge brings the reader on a twisty edgy ride, flipping deftly between two timelines as it races towards the reveal. Gripping stuff (Karen Perry, bestselling author of Girl Unknown)

Classic detective fiction at its best! Lodge paints an absorbing tale of murder - and more - involving a cast of superbly drawn characters. Rarely does a book so seamlessly blend the past and the present, building edge-of-the-seat suspense to the very final scene, all the while offering up piercing psychological insight (Jeffery Deaver)

A gripping, atmospheric thriller and hugely promising debut (Image)
