What a marvel! A corkscrew-twisty, knife-sharp thriller -yet it doubles as a tender ode to loss and longing.Prepare to be haunted
An engaging tale of lust, rivalry and murder
Adark, deep, terrific thrillerand ascorching portrait of friendship and its betrayal
This enjoyably chilling suspense taleconveys both the thrills and the dangers of being a teenager on the brink of adult independence...The obvious questions of how she died and at whose hand are properly dealt with. But the fascination of this story is in the character studies of the surviving children, all grown up now andparticipants in a dark mystery that they all wish had never seen the light of day
I loved it. A SUPERIOR crime book
She Lies in Waitdelivers on just about every level - a killer premise,an absorbing plot thattwists and turns at just the right pace,and in DCI Jonah Sheens a lead detective who has hit the page fully-formed and instantly likeable.One to watch!
In thiscracking, page-turning thriller,Gytha Lodgebrings the reader on a twisty edgy ride,flipping deftly between two timelines as it races towards the reveal. Gripping stuff
Classic detective fiction at its best!Lodge paints an absorbing tale of murder- and more - involving a cast ofsuperbly drawn characters.Rarely does a book soseamlessly blend the past and the present,buildingedge-of-the-seat suspenseto the very final scene, all the while offering uppiercing psychological insight
A gripping, atmospheric thriller and hugely promising debut
A stunning debut. Brilliantly formed charactersand atwisty, clever plothad me turning pages well past my bed time.
A strong debut thriller with dual timelines.Mysterious, stylish, and utterly compelling
By turnselegant and savage,absorbing and clinical,She Lies In Waitis one of those rare debuts that stops you dead, commands you to turn each page,and leaves you piecing together a story you are desperate to unfold yet loath to finish. Seriously impressive.
This twisty-turny read is a cut above the rest because of the brilliant writing.5 *****
A stunner, a proper whodunnit. It kept me up well past bed-time, turning those pages. Well-plotted, brilliant characters, beautifully written: a sure-fire hit
With a punchy hook, this is the perfect read for a book club
Gytha Lodge is an incredibly talented writer and this is an haunting, assured debut that will stay with the reader long after they've finished the last page.
An atmospheric debut... Lodge smoothly intercuts the present-day police probe by whip-sharp recent transfer Det. Constable Juliette Hanson and other team members with flashbacks to the last day of Aurora's life as seen through her eyes... This psychological thriller marks a promising start to a planned series
Sheens and his team are compassionate, clever, and likeable... The mystery intrigues and twists, offering enough red herrings and moments of police procedural to please fans of the genre. There are already two more DCI Sheens novels in the works - hooray!
Masterful and immersive, told with pace and nuance - totally gripping. The tension wracks up page after page. A fantastic book, a sure-fire bestseller
I thoroughly enjoyed it - a great evocation of being a teenager, and a tense meshing of time lines. I'm very glad it's the start of a series
Classic detective fiction at its best! Lodge paints an absorbing tale of murder-and more--involving a cast of superbly drawn characters. Rarely does a book so seamlessly blend the past and the present, building edge-of-the-seat suspense to the very final scene, all the while offering up piercing psychological insight that draws us in as completely as the plot.
Most enjoyable - Gytha Lodge is a skilled storyteller and she weaves such an intricate plot. The book hooked me early on and kept me up way past my bedtime on several nights! The team of detectives Gytha has put together is top notch. All in all, a very satisfying read
She Lies in Waitdrew me in from the very first page. Gytha Lodge has created a compulsive crime novel with a heartbreaking story and a complex plot as well as a whole set of brilliant characters, especially the clever and likeable DCI Sheens. Difficult to put down, it kept me guessing until the end
I can't remember a debut I read with such pleasure - a really masterful handling of complex plot and beautiful characterisation
A thriller with a chilling psychological edge that explores the bonds of friendship
Slow-burning, yet intense ... Ticks all the crime thriller boxes
Brilliant. We predict she is a big name for the future
