Lying Beside You
Lying Beside You | Michael Robotham
7 posts | 9 read | 2 to read
Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac return in Robothams latest page-turning, psychological thriller in this gripping and eerie (Karin Slaughter) series, reaffirming why Stephen King has proclaimed this author an absolute master. If I could tell you one thing about my brother, it would be this. Two days after his nineteenth birthday, he killed our parents and twin sisters because he heard voices in his head. As defining events go, nothing else comes close for Elias, or for me. As a boy, Cyrus Haven survived a family massacre and slowly pieced his life back together. Now, after almost twenty years, his brother is applying to be released from a secure psychiatric hospitaland Cyrus is expected to forgive Elias and welcome him home. Elias is returning to a very different world. Cyrus is now a successful psychologist, working with the police, sharing his house with Evie Cormac, a damaged and gifted teenager who can tell when someone is lying. Evie has gone back to school and is working part-time at an inner-city bar, but she continues to struggle with authority and following rules. When a man is murdered and his daughter disappears, Cyrus is called in to profile the killer and help piece together Maya Kirks last hours. Police believe she was drugged and driven away from the same bar where Evie is working. Soon, a second victim is taken, and Evie is the only person who glimpsed the man behind the wheel. But theres a problem. Only two people believe her. One is Cyrus. The other is the killer.

This was my first time reading this Australian author and I will now have to go back and read the others in this series as I really enjoyed it. The characters are interesting and flawed, but still likable and the plot held together well. I did feel I had missed some of the back story and want to know so much more about Evie, so would recommend starting with the first in the series “Good Girl, Bad Girl“. 4.25/5 stars.

CBee I like this series! 11mo

Not quite as good as the others but still a really good read. Evie finds herself in danger yet again, as a witness to a kidnapping. Cyrus‘ brother, Elias, is released from the secure psychiatric hospital he‘s been at for the last 30 years and is staying with Cyrus. What could go wrong. This is a really good series I highly recommend. Unfortunately, the fourth book isn‘t coming out for quite a while. ☹️ #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

I‘ve only read a few of his books. I really like this series which features a strong young woman called Evie. This is third in what is called the Cyrus Haven series.
The only negative for me was I found the ending a bit too drawn out. Great for tv perhaps but once I knew who did it I just skipped the rest.
Look forward to meeting Evie again. Cyrus staring to grow on me too.
