### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Deliciously Readable
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 23, 2010*

What does one look for in a British mystery novel? For me, it's a set of quirky and complex characters that stay with you a long time after you finish reading the book, a plot that offers exciting twists and turns on every page, and a dry sense of humor that enriches one's reading experience. Sophie Hannah's new installment in her Zailer/Waterhouse series has all that and more.Sophie Hannah's books are not always equal in quality. I loved her

     which in places was graphic to the point of being traumatizing. I almost decided not to go back for more books in the Zailer/Waterhouse series as a result of this uneven quality of the author's writing. I'm very happy that I decided to give her mystery novels one more try and bought The Dead Lie Down.From the very first pages, this book catches you in its grip and doesn't let you go until you are done. The characters are so weird and their relationships are so curiously dysfunctional that I was often reminded of the mysteries by the matchless Ruth Rendell, the true master of the psychological mystery genre from Britain. There is nothing boring, ordinary, or pedestrian in this novel. As an added bonus to the fascinating mystery and the engrossing relationships between characters, you get a glimpse of the art world in Britain, with its art fairs, quaint galleries, and strange personalities that inhabit this universe.

    A purported murder of a woman who is still alive puzzles the team
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 6, 2019*

This is the 4th book in the Spilling CID series. The team are presented with a puzzling case from 2 different angles. Zailer is approached by a woman who tells her that her boyfriend has confessed to murder, but the woman that he has claimed to kill is someone she knows is still alive. On the other side, her fiance, Waterhouse, meets with the boyfriend, who admits that he has killed someone, but has no evidence of the crime, including the whereabouts of the body. What ensues is a twisted tale of unreliable narrators, convoluted truths, and complications that keep the two police officers in doubt and confusion, but convinced that there is something real behind the clouds of misleading information. The reader is gradually brought through to a startling conclusion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Really captured and kept my attention.
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2021*

I just randomly chose this title and now I want to start the series from book 1. Zailer and Waterhouse are such an odd couple. I’d like to know their backstory. The author really knows how to write revenge!
