Susan Walter
A desperate woman. An irresistible invitation. An escalating nightmare of secrets, lies, and murder.
Bree’s new home is luxurious and private, with a fancy Beverly Hills address. What a shame it’s not hers. Widowed, penniless, living in her car, and out of options, she’s climbed the fence and crashed in the pool house. All she wants is a good night’s sleep. But when Sophie, the absentee owner, finds her, she gets a whole lot more.
Sophie invites Bree back for a party. When it winds down, Bree can’t resist sneaking upstairs to sleep in a real bed. But the next morning, she wakes to find Sophie’s dead body floating in the pool. As the resident vagabond, she’s both the only witness and the prime murder suspect.
Bree knows she shouldn’t run, but her husband’s death was mysterious, too. If she’s going to clear her name, she’s going to have to work fast. Because the killer is still out there, and she’s next.

Critic reviews
“The most fun I’ve had reading a thriller in a long time! Lie By The Pool is a delicious page-turner you will finish in one sitting. Full of juicy twists, a wildly original plot, and nerve-shredding tension, Lie by the Pool catapults Susan Walter into the top echelon of thriller writers.”—David Ellis, New York Times bestselling author of Look Closer
“A thriller that thrills, crime fiction that is criminally good and feels like the real thing. A rich ensemble of characters, and protagonists that you hope don't wind up dead… because danger lurks around every twisty corner.”—Ken Pisani, author of the Los Angeles Times best-selling novel AMP'D
“Susan Walter has a knack for writing thoroughly entertaining stories that keep you flipping pages. Fun and fast and full of surprising revelations. What a pleasure to read!”—Bruce Cameron, New York Times bestselling author of A Dog’s Purpose and Love, Clancy

Again the book itself is really good but, as with other books I’ve read, when a character repeats herself over and over I have put that book in the DNF pile. Instead of feeling empathy it becomes something I’m sure is completely unintended. The heroine no longer seems justified but almost as attention seeking. And for a reader it seems more like word count or page filler when reading that the heroine just said the same thing a few pages ago. Since the premise of the repeated statement is part of the story, instead of saying it again, I know from Beta reading, there are so many different ways to convey those thoughts and feelings. I’m glad I finished though.
The narration with multiple actors voicing several characters was done so well by this cast. They added emotional depth and range, gender, and genuineness to the characters and the story!!

this started as a classic domestic noir / mystery
enjoyable till ... it goes left with a outrageous angle that didn't work. I actually stopped and listened to an entire new book. after finishing the manor house which was incredible 5 star. then sadly I went back to this title. it tied all up in an ugly bow . sadly this whole book didn't work for me. as for Narration that was the only plus. narration was good. sry my apology to the author I feel sad when I can't give a raving review. I'm one person with peticular interests. this may work beautifully for someone else. I understand I'm vague but I don't write spoilers in my reviews
well I finished it. it had promise but .

Narrators are AMAZING!
