Critic reviews

An excellent detective novel. The opening scene is superb, and sets up the story beautifully. Gripping, multi-layered and fresh. Terrific (Will Dean, author of Dark Pines)
A brilliant premise, perfectly executed. A genuine page turner - it kept me guessing right until the end. (Chris Hammer, bestselling author of Scrublands)
A riveting new book, with such vivid characters (Holly Watt, author of To the Lions)
An absolute gem - I was hooked from the first page (Jo Jakeman, author of Sticks and Stones)
The first scene was brilliantly terrifying and the rest of the novel lived up to the strong opening - I had no idea who the killer was and it was superbly plotted. I loved the characters, too, especially the investigating team. I can see that this series is going to be a huge hit. (Emily Koch, bestselling author of If I Die Before I Wake)
A cold blooded chiller from first page to last. I loved She Lies In Wait, Watching From The Dark is even better (Chris Whitaker)
You'll be reluctant to put this book down until you've unravelled all its dark plot twists
Lodge writes perceptively about rivalries between young women, showing how even the best-intended relationships can become toxic
A satisfyingly complex whodunnit that will keep readers gripped and baffled in equal measure
This page-turner of a novel is intricately and intelligently plotted, and keeps you guessing right up to its gripping close
All stars
Most relevant
As with book 1 this is a book that keeps you guessing, its an interesting tale and all the way through the book you try to guess the killer, The author intentionally or not does give a clue to the killer early I picked up on this and that person was my No 1 suspect. But I did continue saying to myself oh its him or its her right to the end when the killer is identified and it was my No 1 suspect.
I enjoy the team they work well together.
The narration John Hopkins is OK and he tells the story very well.
I'm just getting to the end of book 3 and that's just as enjoyable so can't wait until book 4.

Yet another brilliant book

A brilliant traditional and quintessential British police procedural and intriguing whodunit.

A simple plot but with the pace and charisma of a great murder mystery.

It gives a completely new view on marriage following the disgusting control of the main suspect and character the manipulative philanthropist Adrian. Full of twists and turns it’s a great read.

The ending... wow

Brilliant read.

Love and Marriage....
