6.16.2021 - Lie Beside Me

 Lie Beside Me by Gytha Lodge

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest installment in the wonderful police procedural series by Gytha Lodge - 4.5 stars rounded up - this series just keeps getting better!


Louise wakes up after a night out drinking, rolls over and sees that the man in bed next to her isn't her husband.  And he's dead.  Louise can't remember what happened the night before even when she is now the prime suspect in his murder.  Slowly, she gets flashes of her memory back.  Detective Jonah Sheens and his team have a lot of people to investigate, from Louise, her husband, her best friend, to a whole cast of characters to try and solve this murder.


The story is told in alternating chapters of Louise writing to her husband and the police investigation into the crime.  Louise had great perception into her personality, from Drunk Louise to Sober Louise.  While it was so good to get reacquainted with the detectives on the case, this is easily a stand-alone book.  There are enough suspects to keep you guessing until the end - and that ending!  I can't wait to read the next in this wonderful series - don't miss it!
