This is an exciting, twisty read that had me hooked from the first
page. The characters are unbelievably unreliable which for me, made
for a gripping read - I was never quite sure who I wanted to trust,
and who was leading me on a merry dance. Combine that with the
realisation that ACTUALLY, I had got the characters wrong and my
theory about the plot was completely wrong, and basically I HAD
EVERYTHING WRONG and this makes for a brilliant summer read

Lie in Wait is a dark thriller, extremely cleverly plotted by the
author. G. J. Minett is a very clever writer with a natural ability
to tell a story that the reader won't forget in a hurry. Long after
you have turned the last page you will still be thinking about Lie
in Wait and the complex characters he introduces you to in this
dark and twisted journey of a book. A great read, this book will
keep you turning the pages long into the night

It's the central character of Owen that really stands out. He's
nuanced, with a fully realised range of emotions that underlie each
situation he finds himself in. Whether it's arguing with the
mysterious 'Willie', or falling over himself to please Abi, Owen's
actions never fail to move you...With 'Lie In Wait', Minett has
again shown that he can craft a clever tale that will keep even
die-hard fans of the genre guessing
*If These Books Could Talk*
'G. J. Minett is one of my new favorite authors! The Hidden Legacy
and Lie in Wait are most definitely must read books! Very
intriguing and clever!'
*Loud and Proud Book Junkie*
'Complicated. Devious. Conversational....the opening chapter - just
like 'The Hidden Legacy' - is superb. Gripping, baffling, a little
chilling. Intriguing characters, a clever plot and another gripping
opening. I shall look forward to book three!'
*Buried Under Books*
What a gripping novel...an intriguing story with the topics as
autism, friendship, love and betrayal. Only at the end did I grasp
the fullness of what happened and came to understand how the
different characters' influences were necessary for the storyline.
Lie in Wait is a well-written and cleverly plotted thriller with a
disturbing but also moving undercurrent.

In a game of cat and mouse, all of the traps are set to catch the
murderer and it's an absolutely brilliant game that is played in
Lie In Wait. I was so sure that I knew what had happened but I had
completely walked past all of the clues, such is the clever style
of G.J. Minett's writing....only now, a few days after I have read
it, do I realise how very good Lie in Wait actually is.
*The Book Magnet*
What a gripping novel! Only at the end did I grasp the fullness of
what happened and came to understand how the different characters'
influences were necessary for the storyline. Lie in Wait is a
well-written and cleverly plotted thriller with a disturbing but
also moving undercurrent.
