Lying Beside You

fullDescription

Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac return in this "expertly paced and psychologically acute" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) thriller from Michael Robotham that's "one of his best, suspenseful and hard to put down" (Stephen King).
Twenty years ago, Cyrus Haven survived a family massacre. The killer? His brother Elias.

Now Elias is applying for release from a secure psychiatric hospital—and Cyrus is expected to forgive and welcome him home. In this "brilliant novel" (The Globe and Mail, Toronto), 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.

When a man is murdered and his daughter Maya Kirk disappears, Cyrus is called in to profile the killer and help piece together Maya's last hours. Soon, a second victim is taken, and Evie is the only person who glimpsed the man behind the wheel. But there's a problem. Only two people believe her. One is Cyrus.

The other is the killer.

     In the Edgar Award finalist Good Girl, Bad Girl, forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven helped Evie Cormac win release from a children's home. Now he's profiling the murderer of a man whose daughter has vanished, and only he believes Evie when she says she witnessed the young woman's abduction. Meanwhile, Cyrus's brother is being released from a psychiatric hospital--he murdered the rest of the family after hearing voices--and Cyrus is expected to take him in.

     December 12, 2022
     In British author Robotham’s fine third Cyrus Haven novel (after 2020’s When She Was Good), forensic psychologist Cyrus consults with police when a man and his daughter are found murdered in their home. After the disappearance of a second victim, Cyrus begins to see connections to a fatal incident that occurred years earlier. However, when Evie Cormac, his bright but troubled ward, inadvertently interferes in the investigation, Cyrus’s ability to probe further into the mystery is compromised. Meanwhile, his own fractured past is about to catch up with him. When Cyrus was a boy, his older brother, Elias, then 19, murdered their parents and twin sisters, and after 20 years in a psychiatric hospital, Elias is now being released. Can Cyrus and Evie endure living under the same roof with a psychotic killer? Robotham does a good job infusing suspense into the well-constructed plot, but at the end of the day this series is all about Cyrus and Evie. While pairings of older male investigators with younger female protégés are fairly common in crime fiction, Cyrus and Evie stand out from the pack. Readers will want to see a lot more of them. Agent: Richard Pine, InkWell Management.

     When Cyrus Haven was a boy, his brother slaughtered their parents and twin sisters. Cyrus was in the potting shed at the time and so was spared. That trauma may have something to do with his current career: he's a forensic psychologist in constant demand by the Nottingham police, who assume he knows how murderers think. Cyrus' brother, medicated and ankle monitored, is released from the asylum into Cyrus' care. They'll share a house with scene-stealer Evie Cormac, whom Cyrus rescued as a teen from a horrendous life and made his ward. She's troublesome and reckless, and readers can't get enough of her. Attempts to civilize Evie end with her telling a teacher that Othello is ""toxic masculinity masquerading as art."" As the violent, tightly wound plot pushes forward--murder, kidnapping, torture--and the characters grind against each other, Robotham displays his exceptional talent operating at full force. And there's Evie, whose shenanigans shouldn't obscure her courage in difficult situations. Even Cyrus has trouble with that: ""The only time she walks away from a fight is to set up an ambush.

     Starred review from February 10, 2023
     

     Cyrus Haven, forensic psychologist and profiler, returns in Robotham's powerful and complex series (following When She was Good). As Cyrus contemplates the potential day release of his brother, Elias, from long-term psychiatric confinement, he also copes with his housemate, Evie, who struggles with multiple demons of her own. Evie is a complicated character with a remarkable gift: she instinctively knows when someone is telling the truth. After having served most of his sentence for sexual assault and actual bodily harm, Mitchell Coates is referred to Cyrus's clinical practice by his parole officer. Mitch desperately needs work, and Cyrus offers him some odd jobs at his house. Mitch gratefully accepts, and thus meets Evie, who realizes that he is innocent. Then the body of a young woman is found, and another woman goes missing. The woman's death harkens back eerily to the crime supposedly committed by Mitch. Cyrus knows that he must unravel a maze of missed evidence and possible corruption before the missing woman falls victim to the murderer. Meanwhile, Elias returns home...VERDICT Written to Robotham's usual high standard, this terrific read will delight fans of his work.--Penelope J.M. Klein

     Starred review from December 15, 2022
     Twenty years after the brutal killing of his parents and little sisters, a forensic psychologist faces the prospect of welcoming home the schizophrenic brother who committed the crime--who is now being released from custody--while investigating a double murder that will imperil the lives of those closest to him. At the outset of this expertly paced and psychologically acute novel, 33-year-old Cyrus introduces himself as "the boy who survived." The killings that left him orphaned and that branded his older brother a monster belong, after all, to the distant past. But now Elias, age 39, is deemed cured and is about to reenter Cyrus' life and disrupt a household that is a haven for Cyrus' friend Evie, who has suffered more than most. "I've been beaten, starved, and denied affection," the young Albanian woman explains, "...until each new bruise became another merit badge." As tough as she is childlike, Evie also has an uncanny ability to tell when people are lying. And because lying is as common in Nottingham, England as it is anywhere else, Evie can be an uncomfortable presence. But when a double murder--of an elderly father and his daughter--draws Cyrus into a mystery that deepens as young women go missing, Evie's intuitive skills prove invaluable. All of which might strain credulity were it not for the insightfully drawn characters and superb sense of place that the author conjures up with laconic ease, razor-sharp wit, and, above all, compassion. "Bare branches reach out across the drainage canal," he writes of a farmland crime scene, "where the water looks black as sump oil....A shuffling figure...is moving gingerly through the mud and reeds towards a bundle of rags." A police office is about to uncover a corpse--and as we read we smell the pre-dawn air and sense the imminent horror. Gripping and insightful.
