# Lying in Wait - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Liz Nugent** (Author)

**From the #1 internationally bestselling author of _Strange Sally Diamond_ and _Unraveling Oliver--_a brilliantly plotted, utterly immersive novel lauded by #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author A.J. Finn 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).
