Reviews
A delectably twisted psychological thriller that ramps up the tension with pace and style... hard to put down... Durrant writes with a sharp style and deftness of touch that makes her a joy to read, even as her tale descends into deepening darkness. This lightness, combined with the nature of her main characters, gives Under Your Skin more than a hint of chick-lit combined with I'm-trapped-in-a-nightmare terror. This turns out to be a winning mix... Durrant's story is well constructed and beautifully paced. It deserves to be packed in a lot of suitcases this summer.
Durrant twists and turns through a beautifully controlled plot, hiding nothing yet constantly springing surprises.
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.
The Gone Girl effect... Under Your Skin is twisty and unputdownable.
A thrilling whodunnit…will keep you gripped and guessing till the very end. Is it – dare we say – the new Gone Girl?
Sabine Durrant offers more twists than a rollercoaster in her thriller UNDER YOUR SKIN, which proves you can trust no one.
If you like Gone Girl you'll love... Under Your Skin - Warning: you won't want to put this down. A TV presenter finds a woman's body, after which a series of clever twists lead to a stunning ending.
Durrant's novel is polished, with some clever twists: just as you get a handle on the truth, a new piece of information is slipped in and you must rethink the whole story.
A fast-paced, page-turner that stands out in its own right in the wake of novels such as GONE GIRL
A perfect piece of paranoid entertainment for those who like to look constantly over their shoulders".
Reminiscent of Nicci French and Rosamund Lupton, Sabine Durrant's Under Your Skin is utterly gripping. I devoured it in one weekend, ignoring the phone, the door, even my husband and kids.
A deliciously clever murder story, peppered with suspicious characters and topped with a satisfyingly unexpected ending.
An emotionally tense sprint of a read... I was left breathless at the end.
Sabine Durrant writes beautifully and with such a light touch that the twists were truly shocking.
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.
