About this listen

The sensational new thriller from the author of the Richard & Judy bestseller Lie With Me.

He saved your son's life.
Does that mean you have to give him yours?

It starts with a holiday.

A three-year-old boy on a beach,
and the hero who saves his life.

But nothing is ever that simple.

Tessa and Marcus know they owe Dave Jepsom more than they can ever repay.

Yet even as he is walking from the sea with their son in his arms,
there is something about him that makes them uneasy.

He is not like other people that they know.
Being with him makes them confront truths about themselves they would rather not see.

The shock of that moment will change everything.

And it's not how things start that matter.
But how they end . . .

Critic reviews

LIE WITH ME's Sabine Durrant is back with another twisty, turny, unputdownable thriller you'll want to make room for in your suitcase. TAKE ME IN is the perfect beach read.
Brilliantly plotted with a story that cranks up with every page. You'll want to down this in one.
From the bestselling author of the excellent Lie With Me comes this even more sinister thriller. This class act of a novel is unputdownable.
Sabine Durrant writes fabulous endings. This novel has a belter. Along the way, she tears into competitive pretensions of the yummy mummies of South-West London and her success in nailing their deep shallows is one of the book's joys... (a) gloriously unexpected and explosive conclusion in this wonderful combination of social satire and psychological drama.
I opened the book after breakfast and looked up again at three, wondering where the day had gone. Sabine Durrant is a master at turning the secret anxieties everyone holds into page-turning, nail-biting drama. (Erin Kelly)
I loved it. Sabine Durrant skewers her characters' foibles with a merciless pen, combining page-turning tension with the blackest of black humour. I couldn't put it down (JP Delaney, bestselling author of The Girl Before)
Highly entertaining... Read it for the smart dissection of modern life and love
Gripping, chilling, perfectly nuanced. No one does creepy moral ambiguity quite like Sabine Durrant (Tammy Cohen)
An assured, confident psychological thriller that is rich with menace. The tension and suspense tighten their grip so subtly you'll be holding your breath by the end. (C.L. Taylor)
Excruciatingly tense and impossible to put down, TAKE ME IN is one of the best psychological thrillers I've ever read. I'll be amazed if a better book is published in 2018. (Mark Edwards, author of The Retreat.)
A seductive descent into paranoia and claustrophobia that coils around you like a snake and squeezes until you are breathless (Chris Brookmyre)
A heart-thumping thriller about a dream family that suddenly finds itself living a nightmare. Sabine Durrant writes about the wrong turns that we can take, and the fragility of even the happiest life, and how all we love can slip from our grasp. Take Me In is smart, brilliant - and scary as hell (Tony Parsons)
I raced through Take Me In, watching in horror and recognition as a couple turn themselves inside out through fear, assumption and regret. I couldn't look away as they fell for the lies we often tell ourselves, with terrifying results. Sabine Durrant's writing just gets better and better (Holly Seddon)
Take Me In is utterly addictive. With a relentless momentum, this is a fascinating look at how cracks within relationships can turn the world on its head (Emma Kavanagh)
All stars
Most relevant
This starts off wonderfully - rather like a Patricia HIghsmith. However, as the hours drag on, I realise the scene is "being set" - but for what? The print version is 352 pages, about 100 pages too long. You lose all interes t in these Sloanies/yuppies and their various misdeeds and problems.....I have not actually finished this. I will probably stagger on to the end - but without much interest.
Excellent performances by the readers.

Just too long!

Great writing describing life in London, and dementia, but the plot is relatively weak for this writer.

Needs a twist

The 2 narrators are excellent. Best I've heard. The male voice at times sounds like Hugh Grant. I listened to this in 36 hours. Fab book. It hits the intimate feelings of women and men. Interesting story. Unexpected ending.

Fantastic narration. Great book

So well read. The performances certainly made this more gripping than had I read it myself. Highly recommend this book!

Will be looking for more from Sabine Durrant and the narrators!

Amazing book! Particularly enjoyed the narration

I’ve read the author’s other books and really enjoyed them all. This one not so much. Enjoyed the narration immensely and the general tone of the book but the ending…very abrupt and rather confusing for me. Maybe I missed something

I enjoyed the journey…
