Synopsis

A heart-stopping novel of psychological suspense from the internationally bestselling author of The Wrong Mother and The Other Woman’s House

Ruth Bussey once did something wrong – horribly wrong – and was nearly destroyed by her punishment. Now, she has tentatively rebuilt her life and unexpectedly found love with a man named Aidan Seed. But Aidan also has a secret, and one day he confides in Ruth: years ago, he killed a woman named Mary Trelease. Ruth's initial horror turns to confusion when she realizes that she knows Mary Trelease, and Mary is very much alive. So why does Aidan insist that she’s dead?  The fourth book in Sophie Hannah’s beloved Zailer and Waterhouse series, The Dead Lie Down is a sophisticated, addictive page-turner that will appeal to fans of Laura Lippman and Tana French.

But reading Sophie Hannah--I won't lie to you--she......more

Un libro muy largo con una buena historia. Tengo que admitir que me costó bastante el principio. Estuve a punto de abandonarlo porque en las primeras paginas entra de lleno al misterio y luego se vuelve muy repetitivo, tanto que la historia cobra forma en la mitad del libro. Ruth es una joven que se......more

Goodreads review by Delee on September 09, 2016

Well let me just say the mystery had me stumped, as did Charlie and Simon's on going complicated relationship... As I said in my last review about this series, I have been reading these books to get to the sixth book of the series ( and I won't stop until I get there). For the most part I like this s......more

Goodreads review by Celia on June 26, 2011

I'm having a bit of a Sophie Hannah-fest at the moment. I really enjoy them while I'm reading them - the ridiculously complex mysteries, the reoccuring police characters, the weird relationship between Charlie and Simon. And then I get to the end, and think - "Phew... hang on... what the fuck was th......more
