Lying in Wait

Lying in Wait by Liz Nugent

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Strange Sally Diamond and Unraveling Oliver--a brilliantly plotted, utterly immersive novel lauded by A.J. Finn--#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window--as "extraordinary...crackles and snaps like a bonfire on a winter's night."

My husband did not mean to kill Annie Doyle, but the lying tramp deserved it.

On the surface, Lydia Fitzsimons's life seems idyllic. Her husband, Andrew, is a prosperous, respected judge; they live in the spacious, comfortable, well-appointed house where she was raised. And she is utterly, obsessively devoted to her son, Laurence--her adored only child, her pride and joy.

But Andrew's murder of Annie Doyle, accidental or not, sets into motion a dark downward spiral. It doesn't take long for Laurence to suspect that something is very, very wrong in the Fitzsimons household--and he is determined to discover the truth.

For fans of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn, Lying in Wait is "a devastating psychological thriller...an exquisitely uncomfortable, utterly captivating reading experience" ( Publishers Weekly, starred review).
