  • PRAISE FOR LYING BESIDE YOU

    -
  • Michael Robotham can’t write a bad book. This is one of his best, suspenseful and hard to put down

    STEPHEN KING
  • Compulsively readable. As always, Michael Robotham builds his nail-biter around damaged people who only want to do what’s right

    LINWOOD BARCLAY
  • Thoughtful . . . it isn’t easy to maintain a balance between two such different plot strands, but Robotham does it brilliantly

    SUNDAY TIMES
  • Exactly the sort of thriller that pins you to your seat until you’ve finished it: a proper heart-pounding mystery with unforgettable characters and compelling twists

    JANE CASEY
  • Michael Robotham never lets you down and Lying Beside You is yet further proof that he is one of the most accomplished thriller writers in the world right now. Superbly paced, intricately plotted and packed with characters that leap off the page. Simply sensational
