The truth is, we all tell lies… take a deep breath and get ready for the most twisty, tense and unsettling book of the summer.
‘If, like me, you have been longing for a psycho-thriller of genius since you finished Gone Girl, then the wait is finally over. There are very few books in this world that are impossible to put down. Lie With Me is one of them.’ Tony Parsons
It starts with a lie. The kind we’ve all told – to a former acquaintance we can’t quite place but still, for some reason, feel the need to impress. The story of our life, embellished for the benefit of the happily married lawyer with the kids and the lovely home.
And the next thing you know, you’re having dinner at their house, and accepting an invitation to join them on holiday – swept up in their perfect life, the kind you always dreamed of…
Which turns out to be less than perfect. But by the time you’re trapped and sweating in the relentless Greek sun, burning to escape the tension all around you – by the time you start to realise that, however painful the truth might be, it’s the lies that cause the real damage…
… well, by then, it could just be too late.

Reviews
Fresh and compelling prose, packed with twists. A treat.
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
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
Alternating between Lizzie's narrative and Zach's diary, it's splendidly creepy, with plenty of paranoia
Praise for Sabine Durrant
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.
Simmering with menace, and with a blisteringly taut and twisted plot. Simply superb.
A perfect thriller: clever, classy and shocking. I read it in one day.
I was absolutely hooked...Sabine builds up the sense of unease with unbelievable finesse. This book simply sings
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.
Tense, darkly funny and morally complex. I wished Lie With Me wouldn't end.
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.
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.
I absolutely loved it: claustrophobic, gripping, and beautifully written with a growing sense of foreboding until the unexpected, final twist.
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
Devilishly dark and addictive
Brilliantly executed - I loved every page.
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.
A tremendously engrossing, unnerving story...delivers suspense from the outset and dark jokes and surprises throughout
I was intrigued, unsettled and utterly engrossed from the very first page...so beautifully written and intelligently constructed
A compelling, clever, claustrophobic read with a brilliantly executed anti-hero - I loved Lie With Me!
Ingenious plotting, fine characterisation and assured pacing
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
A sizzling tale of deceit, betrayal and entrapment that is extraordinarily well-crafted and utterly gripping - a stunning summer read
I doubt there will be a better beach read out this summer
An unsettling, disturbing but utterly brilliant, gripping read with a terrific twist
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
Enormous fun, a psychological thriller worthy of Ruth Rendell or Patricia Highsmith.... The way the narration keeps us guessing is masterly
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
A dark and well-plotted psychological thriller.
