"This brilliant novel is a whodunnit that morphs into a serial murder that evolves into a chase-to-save-the victim, and then adds a final twist. . . . a simply terrific mystery novel."--Globe and Mail

"The guy can't write a bad book. This is one of his best, suspenseful and hard to put down." --Stephen King

"A riveting page-turner." --Megan Goldin, author of The Night Swim

"[An] expertly paced and psychologically acute novel . . . [with] insightfully drawn characters and [a] superb sense of place that the author conjures up with laconic ease, razor-sharp wit, and, above all, compassion. . . . Gripping and insightful." --Kirkus (starred review)

"I loved Lying Beside You. Michael Robotham is such a wonderfully perceptive writer; rich, real characters who are constantly surprising . . . I could read about these two forever." --Alex Marwood, author of The Wicked Girls

"Not just a cleverly constructed crime novel . . . it's also an achingly beautiful story about trust, redemption and love that had me intermittently catching my breath." --Sydney Morning Herald (Australia)

"Thoughtful . . . it isn't easy to maintain a balance between two such different plot strands, but Robotham does it brilliantly." --Sunday Times (UK), Best Crime Books of 2022
