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" (
