'A superb and clever thriller' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Dark, sharp and deliciously funny' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'I loved every page' Clare Mackintosh
FROM THE ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF DEAD HEAT
It started with a small lie. Bumping into an old acquaintance, embellishing my life story to impress the happily married lawyer with kids and a lovely home.
So when he invited me on a group holiday, I said yes. I wanted to prove that I can fit in with his posh, wealthy friends. It's the sort of life I deserved, after all.
But in the scorching Greek sunshine, the lies become bigger and tensions start rising. Can I stop my new world from crashing down, or is it already too late?

Critics Review
Brilliantly executed - I loved every page.
A sizzling tale of deceit, betrayal and entrapment that is extraordinarily well-crafted and utterly gripping - a stunning summer read
A perfect thriller: clever, classy and shocking. I read it in one day.
I doubt there will be a better beach read out this summer
An unsettling, disturbing but utterly brilliant, gripping read with a terrific twist
A dark and well-plotted psychological thriller.
If you've had a hole in your literary life since finishing Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train, this is the book to fill it
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.
Ingenious plotting, fine characterisation and assured pacing
Enormous fun, a psychological thriller worthy of Ruth Rendell or Patricia Highsmith.... The way the narration keeps us guessing is masterly
A clever, engaging thriller to frantically binge-read as the tension mounts and all the subtle clues that Durrant has skilfully hidden begin to reveal themselves
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.
I was intrigued, unsettled and utterly engrossed from the very first page...so beautifully written and intelligently constructed
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.
Simmering with menace, and with a blisteringly taut and twisted plot. Simply superb.
I absolutely loved it: claustrophobic, gripping, and beautifully written with a growing sense of foreboding until the unexpected, final twist.
Tense, darkly funny and morally complex. I wished Lie With Me wouldn't end.
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.
A compelling, clever, claustrophobic read with a brilliantly executed anti-hero - I loved Lie With Me!
A tremendously engrossing, unnerving story...delivers suspense from the outset and dark jokes and surprises throughout
I was absolutely hooked...Sabine builds up the sense of unease with unbelievable finesse. This book simply sings
Amid all the lies, one inalienable truth - Durrant has written a clever and totally gripping thriller.
It is so skilfully done - Domestic Noir at its very finest.
Devilishly dark and addictive
Compelling and thrilling
An undercurrent of tension and sense of growing unease made me keep on turning the pages in this psychological thriller with a difference...and a killer twist
A clever, duplicitous thriller that racks up the tension
Fast becoming one of our favourites, Sabine Durrant writes clever, compelling thrillers
There are shades of The Talented Mr Ripley in this atmospheric new psychological thriller... It's not easy to come up with something that truly takes the reader by surprise, but this twisted tale keeps you guessing right to the dark, rather wonderful end
A brilliantly executed psycho-thriller - you'll stay up all night
A chilling, elegantly written, top-drawer psychological thriller
Gripping...shows how a life of selfishness and deceit can condemn a person in later life.
Clever... twists all along the way
Praise for Sabine Durrant
Alternating between Lizzie's narrative and Zach's diary, it's splendidly creepy, with plenty of paranoia
Fresh and compelling prose, packed with twists. A treat.
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
Grips immediately... Durrant sustains the mystery throughout and offers a clever resolution
This is one super-disturbing psychological thriller
Spellbindingly dark and intense drama
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
