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?

Critic reviews

Brilliantly executed - I loved every page. (Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go)

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. (Erin Kelly, author of He Said/She Said)

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. (Sebastian Faulks)

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. (Lucy Clarke, author of Last Seen)

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. (Alex Marwood, author of The Darkest Secret)

I was intrigued, unsettled and utterly engrossed from the very first page...so beautifully written and intelligently constructed (Laura Barnett, author of The Versions of Us)

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. (Tony Parsons, author of The Murder Bag)

Simmering with menace, and with a blisteringly taut and twisted plot. Simply superb. (Sarah Hilary, author of Someone Else's Skin)

I absolutely loved it: claustrophobic, gripping, and beautifully written with a growing sense of foreboding until the unexpected, final twist. (Claire Douglas, author of The Sisters)

Tense, darkly funny and morally complex. I wished Lie With Me wouldn't end. (Tamar Cohen, author of When She Was Bad)

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. (Claire Kendal, author of The Book of You)

A compelling, clever, claustrophobic read with a brilliantly executed anti-hero - I loved Lie With Me! (Angela Clarke, author of Follow Me)

A tremendously engrossing, unnerving story...delivers suspense from the outset and dark jokes and surprises throughout (Mark Lawson)

Narrator makes this

I was confused by the narrator at first but after the first chapter it totally made sense. Loved it. The story was ok but probably wouldn't have finished it except for the narrator was SO GOOD.
