***longlisted for the Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year!***

He saved your son's life.
Now he wants yours...

Tessa and Marcus went on holiday to save their marriage.
Instead they nearly lost their son.

In that fatal moment of inattention a stranger stepped in.

And now Dave Jepsom is in their lives.

They owe him - they know that - but he seems to want everything. He's on the streets they walk down. He's at the office where they work. He's knocking at their front door...

And he's exposing secrets they would do anything to hide.

If they could just go back. Not make that one terrible mistake.

But it's never how it starts that matters. It's always how it ends.

"LIE WITH ME's Sabine Durrant is back with another twisty, turny, unputdownable thriller you'll want to make room for in your suitcase. TAKE ME IN is the perfect beach read." - Grazia

"Brilliantly plotted with a story that cranks up with every page. You'll want to down this in one." - Fabulous Magazine

"From the bestselling author of the excellent Lie With Me comes this even more sinister thriller. This class act of a novel is unputdownable." - Heat

"Sabine Durrant writes fabulous endings. This novel has a belter. Along the way, she tears into competitive pretensions of the yummy mummies of South-West London and her success in nailing their deep shallows is one of the book's joys... (a) gloriously unexpected and explosive conclusion in this wonderful combination of social satire and psychological drama." - Daily Mail

"Highly entertaining... Read it for the smart dissection of modern life and love" - Mail on Sunday

"A sinister, suspenseful thriller." - Red Magazine

"Gripping" - Good Housekeeping

"An ingeniously plotted drama with an ending you won't see coming." - Good Housekeeping

"Writing an assured, nuanced thriller that plays with recognisable tropes (holiday setting, couple under siege, inexplicable stranger/stalker) without descending into cliché is no mean feat. For pure psychological suspense, Sabine Durrant doesn't mess around: she's a cool, confident writer who knows exactly how to get into your psyche. Need a reminder of what makes thrillers great? Read this." - Emerald Street

"A clever, sinister and compelling page-turner." - Woman & Home

"The underlying menace and tension coupled with an ingenious plot make this a superb psychological thriller" - Candis Magazine

"Picture the scene: a hot beach, a struggling child (YOUR struggling child), a heroic stranger. You'd be grateful, wouldn't you? But would you be grateful enough? That's the premise behind Take Me In, the newest - and best so far, IMHO - of Sabine Durrant's ingeniously twisty thrillers. It's taken Durrant a few years to work her way to the top of the psychological thriller pile, but now she's there, she's not budging for anyone." - The Pool

"This story sweeps you away on a tide of menace, building up almost unbearable suspense to an explosive conclusion. Fabulous stuff from one of our finest thriller writers." - Sunday Mirror

"The book is lifted above the ruck of domestic thrillers by the quality of Durrant's writing and characterisations." - Daily Telegraph

"(Durrant) has a ruthlessly sharp eye for the vanities of modern urbanites" - Grazia
