About this listen

Listen to the end for an audiobook exclusive: Clare Mackintosh will be answering reader's questions about writing Let Me Lie.

The police say it was suicide. Anna says it was murder. They're both wrong.

One year ago, Caroline Johnson chose to end her life - a shocking suicide carefully played out to match that of her husband just months before. Their daughter, Anna, has struggled to come to terms with her parents' deaths ever since.

Now with a young baby herself, Anna feels her mother's presence keenly and is determined to find out what really happened. But as she looks for answers, someone is trying to stop her. By digging up the past, she'll set in motion something that can't be stopped and will soon discover that sometimes it's safer to let things lie....

The stunning, twisty new psychological thriller from number one best seller Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go and I See You.

Critic reviews

"It's phenomenal, super-twisty and, incredibly, even better than I Let You Go and I See You." (Jill Mansell)
"Brilliant. Tense and surprising but heartbreaking and sensitively written.... I expect no less from Clare but she seems to get better with each novel." (Gillian McAllister)
"One word - wow! Compelling, twisty and wickedly good, I loved it!" (Alice Feeney)

I really loved this book from start to finish. I kept thinking how I would feel or do from both positions! The plot was brilliant and the ending made me think again.. wow! Gemma did an excellent job of the narration and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done, again, Clare.
Loved the talk at the end of the book too 😊

Brilliant

At first I thought this was going to be a thriller relying on the supernatural only to be surprised again and again by the twists and turns in the story that builds up into a crescendo of revelations. The characters are well developed and the story builds well and kept me wanting to find out what happens next. I did feel that the last two or so hours of frenetic action is over done and over long with endless descriptions of the physiological effects of acute anxiety that became repetitive and tedious. However, overall it’s a good listen with an interesting and imaginative story that is narrated with verve.

Imaginative story full of surprises

What three words best describe Clare Mackintosh and Gemma Whelan ’s performance?

Phrasing needs work

Any additional comments?

Retired Policeman and his wife were the only believable characters in the whole book. I stayed to the end, but found it quite tedious.

narration irritating, story a bit far fetched
