Another psychological thriller from A.A Abbott had me cancelling everything before I started it. I knew this would be yet another brilliant book from, and wanted to savour every word. Lies At Her Door definitely fulfilled my expectations in every way.
Set in Bristol, we meet 32 year old Lucy. She lives with her parents and looks after her terminally ill mum too. Her brother is a man who is too busy living his life as a famous rock star, so they never see him. When a skeleton is found after a sinkhole appears outside their house Lucy finds herself the main suspect for the murder of one of her brothers former band mate.Did Lucy kill them or can she prove different?
So much suspense and so many red herrings! A story that had me doubting one minute and trusting the next. A.A Abbott has again created complex characters in difficult situations. Lucy’s family for one is a good example of dysfunctional! This maybe a short book but, my gosh, the story has plenty to it.
There are issues dealt with in the book that are sensitive ones, but are treated with the respect they should be. Plenty of twists and turns increased my curiosity of how this would all end. I couldn’t put it down until I had all the answers either!
A dark tale that is a gripping and intriguing read. With twists, turns, and characters you can’t be sure of. Another book fromm A.A Abbott that’s a 5 star read for me.

Author Bio
British crime thriller writer A.A. Abbott (also known as Helen Blenkinsop) enjoys escaping with an exciting and emotional read, and that’s what she aims to write. She also sets her fiction in the cities where she’s lived and worked: London, Bristol and Birmingham. Currently based in Bristol, she’s set her latest psychological thriller in the city’s swanky Clifton district. Inspiration for the story came when a sinkhole appeared in Clifton on Christmas Day 2020, revealing a collapsed cellar under a park. In real life, no-one was singing carols there at the time and no skeleton was discovered, but writers often stretch the boundaries of truth!
