Featuring the return of Sergeant Charlotte "Charlie" Zailer and DC Simon Waterhouse, The Dead Lie Down is another sophisticated, addictive listen from the new mistress of the page-turner.
Ruth Bussey once did something wrong - horribly wrong - and was nearly destroyed by her punishment. Now, she has tentatively rebuilt her life and unexpectedly found love with a man named Aidan Seed. But Aidan also has a secret - he killed someone years ago, a woman named Mary Trelease. Ruth's horror turns to confusion when she realizes that she knows Mary Trelease, and Mary is very much alive.

Great read if not great literature

Any additional comments?
There were a few things I didn't like about this book, including Charlie acting sort of unrealistically in a whiney way. But the worst part was the on-and-on-and-on about art. Maybe I'm just not a super art-lover - but the characters were droning and redundant and I actually considered just not finishing the book. Too bad because many of Hannah's other books are fabulous.Not my favorite Sophie Hannah

RuthDo you think Dead Lie Down needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, I think the plot was odd and too drawn out. I lost interest waiting for the story to develop. Too little too lateOdd plot

What did you love best about Dead Lie Down?
The story line and the interesting twists and turns were great, especially the psychological mystery. The narrator's voice was pleasant as well.Who was your favorite character and why?
Although I've read a lot of Sophie Hannah's stories, it's tough to pick a favorite character! I'm very familiar with Charlie and Simon, but I'm not truly fond of either of them in particular. I tend to enjoy the characters they interact with the most. In this story, I was intrigued by Mary Trelis (even though she is not by any means "likeable") and I liked Ruth... but I was a little disappointed in Ruth's opinion of her morality-- she thought she was nothing like her parents but she had a similar way of placing judgement on moral topics that she deemed "right" or "wrong". I also really liked Saul because he was a sweet, protective, grandfather type.Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Sastre’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
First time I heard this narrator (and my first audible book) and I liked her voice.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Layers and layers of gripping psychological discoveries!Great story with twists and turns!

Instead of being curious, I was just irritated by the mystery (within a mystery, within a mystery).
The only reason I did not completely abandon it is because I had nothing else lined up that I wanted to read more.
Most of if flew right over my head.
I didn't get it.
