Lời Giới Thiệu Của Nhà Xuất Bản
If you loved Gone Girl, then make this page-turning debut next on your reading list: “Sabine Durrant offers more twists than a rollercoaster in her thriller Under Your Skin, which proves you can trust no one” (Good Housekeeping).
Gaby Mortimer is the woman who has it all. But everything changes when she finds a body near her home. She’s shaken and haunted by the image of the lifeless young woman, and frightened that the killer, still at large, could strike again.
Before long, the police have a lead. The evidence points to a very clear suspect. One Gaby never saw coming…
Full of brilliant twists and turns, Under Your Skin is a dark and suspenseful psychological thriller that will make you second guess everything. Because you can never be too sure about anything, especially when it comes to murder.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In former newspaper editor Durrant's gripping debut, morning TV host Gaby Mortimer's enviably glossy London life starts to careen out of control after she finds a young woman's body during her daily jog. Though a savvy Oxford grad should know better, Gaby impulsively breaks the cardinal rule of criminal procedure: don't touch the corpse. Then she submits to police questioning without a lawyer until it becomes clear that Detective Inspector Perivale regards her as his prime suspect. With her increasingly distant husband, a hedge fund honcho, on a business trip to Singapore, Gaby starts trying to extricate herself by investigating the murder, with the help of an unlikely ally: scoop-hungry freelance journalist Jack Hayward. But further complexities and creepy coincidences soon emerge. Why, for instance, was the victim apparently wearing Gaby's T-shirt? As the suspense mounts, Durrant skillfully keeps the twisty story on track through convincing characters and domestic detail right up to the shocking conclusion.

Under Your Skin
Definitely keeps the reader guessing throughout. I revised several times my idea of the murderer. The ending again surprised me with an unresolved, open-to-interpretation conclusion. Perfect!
Under Your Skin
Wow, what a book, kept me reading long after I should be sleeping. Never saw the end coming. Please read!
