Description
In this page-turning debut from talented crime writer Sabine Durrant, a woman makes a chilling discovery in the woods that changes her life forever.
When clever, pretty, successful Gaby Mortimer discovers the dead body of a young woman near her house, she has no idea that her apparently happy, secure, charmed life is about to go into sickening freefall—and that soon she will be living by the mantra of the police detective investigating the murder case: ABC: Assume Nothing, Believe No One, Check Everything…

Is it - dare we say - the new Gone Girl? (Grazia)
Warning: you won't want to put this down...a series of clever twists lead to a
stunning ending. (Look)
Under Your Skin rapidly
unravels into a maelstrom of tension and paranoia, as Durrant draws a
disturbing picture of how easy it is for even the most perfect life to
implode... if the mark of a good thriller is the compulsion to reread it
immediately on finishing, to see if the clues can be spotted second time round,
then Under Your Skin has it, in spades. (Guardian -
Alison Flood)
You'll be glued to every page of this pacy, clever and gripping novel (Closer)
This has all the authority of the best novels by Nicci French...We need

just that. (Daily Express - Barry Forshaw)

characters and topped with a satisfyingly unexpected ending. (Alex Marwood,

Sabine Durrant writes beautifully and with such a light touch that the twists
were truly shocking (Jane Casey, Author Of the
Missing)
Reminiscent of Nicci French and Rosamund Lupton, Sabine Durrant'sUnder Your
Skin is utterly gripping. I
devoured it in one weekend, ignoring the phone, the door, even my husband and
kids. (Hannah Richell, Author Of Secrets Of The Tides)
I was hooked from the gruesome discovery to the last page with its
unpredictable but brilliantly satisfying conclusion... I don't often say this
about a book, but I thought it was perfect in every way. (Bookbag)

constantly springing surprises (The Times)
