Lying in Wait

A Novel

De: Liz Nugent

Narrado por: Caoilfhionn Dunne, David McFetridge, Lesley McGuire

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).

Gripping and unforgettable

Oh man. This story was so good, it hurt. I couldn't stop listening, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Warning though - it is dark, very dark, and some will have an issue with the ending.

Excellent performance..... decent story...

This book was very well developed, the characters were on point! BUT it was just too long at some points of the story, and a little dull. Liz Nugent did bring everything together and it was quite disturbing, but I wasn't overly impressed.

Creepy!

This is the story of Laurence and his mother Lydia. The narration was pretty engaging with the exception of the narrator who portrayed Karen. She was read so morosely that I found it a bit distracting and annoying. I found the rest of the book as a riveting character study of a true narcissistic sociopath with a disturbing and not completely satisfying ending.

To be fair

To be fair I haven’t finished it and most likely won’t but it’s kind of boring and I haven’t really enjoyed any part of any of the three storylines. I’d save your credit if it’s precious to you

incredible storytelling

Liz Nugent doesn't disappoint. I heard this audio book incredibly fast, it's all I kept thinking about. Also enjoyed the narrators.

So crazy

While, there are clues as to what is lying ahead... it still shocks you. A well written story and it was performed very well.

A wee bit far fetched but still good

This is really well performed and the narrators get u into the characters. Story unfolds as it progresses and iits well written. Worth a read

Ca-Reepy

Very well-written, great characters, creepy and sad. Would easily read another by Liz Nugent.

Takes you into another world

Great noir feel but the characters are too black and white. Trying to disguise evil for mental illness collapses the storyline. Evil wins and there is no pay off for hours of listening to rambling excuses for bad behavior.

Best psychological thriller I’ve read in a while.

Beautifully written. Unique story (which is really saying something in this genre). Genuinely surprising ending. And the narrators are excellent. A credit well spent.
