Lying in wait

Liz Nugent

2016 · EN

"From the international bestselling author of Unraveling Oliver, an "unputdownable psychological thriller with an ending that lingers long after turning the final page" (The Irish Times) about a Dublin family whose dark secrets and twisted relationships are suddenly revealed. My husband did not mean to kill Annie Doyle, but the lying tramp deserved it. On the surface, Lydia Fitzsimons has the perfect life--wife of a respected, successful judge, mother to a beloved son, mistress of a beautiful house in Dublin. That beautiful house, however, holds a secret. And when Lydia's son, Laurence, discovers its secret, wheels are set in motion that lead to an increasingly claustrophobic and devastatingly dark climax. For fans of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn, this novel is a "seductively sinister story. The twists come together in a superbly scary denouncement, which delivers a final sting in the tail. Brilliantly macabre" (Sunday Mirror)"-- "Psychological thriller about a woman whose son discovers a secret that threatens her perfectly happy life"-- On the surface, Lydia Fitzsimons has the perfect life-- wife of Andrew, a respected, successful judge; mother to a beloved son; mistress of a beautiful house in Dublin. That beautiful house, however, holds a secret: Andrew accidently murdered a drug-addled prostitute-- and buried her in their garden. When Lydia's son, Laurence, discovers the secret, things begin to unravel. -- adapted from jacket.
