Summary

FROM THE RICHARD & JUDY PICK AUTHOR AND SIX-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER, THE MIND THAT CREATED ITV'S THE SUSPECT

Twenty years ago, Cyrus Haven's brother killed their parents and twin sisters.

Since then Cyrus has devoted his life as a forensic psychologist to understanding why people commit terrible crimes.

Now Elias is being released from his psychiatric hospital, and Cyrus must decide if he's ready to trust the man who destroyed his childhood.

His friend Evie Cormac, who has a gift for knowing when people are lying, isn't so sure.

And as they seek the truth behind a double abduction case, past and present collide - with devastating consequences . . .

If you love Lying Beside You, don't miss Cyrus and Evie in Good Girl, Bad Girl and When She Was Good.

Critic reviews

Michael Robotham can't write a bad book. This is one of his best, suspenseful and hard to put down (STEPHEN KING)
Compulsively readable. As always, Michael Robotham builds his nail-biter around damaged people who only want to do what's right (LINWOOD BARCLAY)
A masterful plot which pelts along at breakneck speed. With its intriguing characters, perfectly interwoven storylines and killer twists, Robotham's latest thriller lives up to his fans' sky-high expectations. His best yet (ROSE CARLYLE)

The best yet!

How invested in the lives of the main characters I am by now! They're so well drawn and believable. I was uncertain about Elias, (as I was supposed to be) and couldn't imagine how this would be resolved, but it was perfect. Dare I hope there will be more from Cyrus and Evie? Terrific narration too. Congratulations to all concerned!!

Fantastic!

Brilliant story. Unusual theme & interesting characters. A thrilling listen on Audible. I was quite disappointed when it ended. The narrator does a good job but needs some help to differentiate the various male voices as they are too similar. Will definitely listen again!

Great story

Loved the story and the writing. Some dodgy Liverpool stereotypes, but not the only scouse characters and absolutely loved the overall book

This series just gets better

The characters are so well crafted and the writing just brilliant. The narration is also top drawer. I would recommend starting at Book 1 to get a full understanding of the characters. Hopefully more to come from Robotham.

Enjoyable

Whilst not excellent it’s certainly perfect for those who, like me, enjoy Prime Suspect type drama.
A good holiday listen.
