Supremely readable.
Gripped me from the first page and kept me turning the pages long into the night. Gytha Lodge is a consummate storyteller
Gytha Lodge
handles a complicated and compelling plot with effortless skill. Lie Beside Me is fast-paced but never rushed, with
clues and twists to keep you absolutely hooked from the first page to the last. I can't wait for her next book
Clever, pacy, well-written and utterly gripping,
Lie Beside Me is one of my favourite books so far this year.
The latest instalment of the Jonah Sheen series, Lie Beside Me is
the best yet. It moves at a cracking pace from the high concept opening to its tightly plotted finale, while deepening the characterisation and the world so well created in the first two of the series.
I stayed up till 2am to finish it - brilliantly done.
A killer premise, razor-sharp writing, and twists to die for, what more could you possibly want? Gytha Lodge is a brilliant storyteller, and Lie Beside Me is
easily her best yet. I hope this series never ends
A gripping, twisted, edge-of-your-seat thriller
Such an ingenious concept and what an opening!
I was gripped from that very first shocking page. An intelligent, twisty and compulsive thriller. This is the first from the Sheens series I have read but I loved the story, and the characters so much I'm going to definitely read the others.
Absolutely brilliant
Secrets and self-sabotage abound in this gripping psychological thriller
Full of corkscrew twists and subtle turns, this third novel confirms Lodge as a gifted writer
This is a brilliant page-turner that will keep you mesmerised until the very last page
A snappy read that will delight thriller lovers
I absolutely raced through this. Lots of writers dream up high concept openings and then have no idea where to take them but
Gytha delivers in spades and keeps you guessing until the final pages
I loved
Watching from the Dark, and
Lie Beside Me didn't disappoint as the next in the series. It's
another gripping page-turner, where Lodge
sucks us in with a nightmarish opening chapter and then keeps us guessing right until the end
It drags you in with a brilliant hook and terrific characters which won't let you go until you've finished. It will keep you guessing right until the end. HIGHLY recommended
Tense and twisty from the start, exploring the darker side of friendship and trying to put together clues from a forgotten night... I woke up early just to finish it!
Just as compelling as you'd expect from this masterful plotter . . . From that explosive opening, this pacy and intricately-woven thriller continues at speed
Lie Beside Me is
perfectly paced with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers hooked, from an opening that packs a real punch, all the way through to the satisfying ending. Beautifully written with a cast of characters who keep you questioning everything you think you've worked out.
I loved it
An absolute belter of a read. Thoroughly absorbing and impossible to put down.
Highly recommended for crime fiction fans
An edgy multi-layered mystery with an unforgettable opening and one suspect after another. The goings on in the detectives' private lives were just as fascinating as the main story.
The characters were so well-rounded they felt real. I didn't want this story to end.
The shocking opening hooked me in and the
twists and turns kept me furiously turning the pages, desperate to know how the story would unfold.
Lie Beside Me is
a clever and compelling thriller, with a fantastic cast of characters you'll want to spend time with.
I loved it
Superbly plotted and and relentlessly pacy,
Lie Beside Me is
hands-down her best yet. From its grab-you-by-the-throat opening to its truly shocking conclusion, Lie Beside Me will have you second-guessing everyone and everything. This really is
a series going from strength to strength
Thrilling
Praise for Gytha Lodge:
A novel that literally makes you hold your breath then gasp out loud
I loved it. A SUPERIOR crime book
