Publisher Description
Behind every perfect life is a perfect lie . . .
An eerie, exhilarating tale of marriage and its dark side from the author of the universally acclaimed psychological thriller Under Your Skin
Everyone keeps telling me I have to move on. And so here I am, walking down the road where he died, trying to remember him the right way.
A year after the death of her husband, Zach, Lizzie goes to lay flowers where his fatal accident took place. As she makes her way along the motorway, she thinks about their life together. She wonders whether she has changed since Zach died. She wonders if she will ever feel whole again. At last she reaches the spot. And there, tied to a tree, is a bunch of lilies. The flowers are addressed to her husband. Someone has been there before her.
Lizzie loved Zach. She really did. But she's starting to realize she didn't really know him. Or what he was capable of . . .
Sabine Durrant’s Remember Me This Way is romantic, mysterious and unbearably tense—a love story you’ll never forget.
“When a thriller leaves you looking over your shoulder, it's a sign the author’s doing something right. In fact Durrant doesn't put a foot wrong with this assured and deeply unsettling chiller. . . . Superb.” —SUNDAY MIRROR
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
London school librarian Lizzie Carter, the heroine of this absorbing tale of obsession from British author Durrant (Under Your Skin), is devastated to learn from Police Constable Morrow that her husband of just a year and a half, artist Zach Hopkins, has died in a car crash in Cornwall. A year later, Lizzie visits the scene of the fatal accident, where on the roadside she discovers flowers accompanied by a card decorated with hand-drawn hearts and signed "Xenia." When Lizzie investigates, she finds evidence that Zach may still be alive, and that much of what he told her about his past appears to have been fabricated. She turns to Morrow for help, but Morrow dismisses Lizzie's suspicions as symptoms of grief. In the manner of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, entries from Zach's computer diary alternate with Lizzie's thoughts about events as they are happening. Durrant steadily builds suspense up to the unexpected and thoroughly satisfying conclusion.
