The year is 1975. They came with their sirens, their cameras, and their incessant questions. The voice of the detective was cold. The only word Leah remembered was murder . Lying Still is an intriguing story about the dangerous relationship between psychiatrist Dr. Mark Favre and a family of three one is the woman he loved, one is the woman he killed, and one has a journal that could destroy him.
When I read the first draft of the manuscript for LYING STILL, I was immediately swept into the story.
Set in the mid-70s, LYING STILL reminded me of some of the thriller movies of that era. The depth of the character development reflects the author's passion for psychiatry. The relationships between the characters drive the story, from the sisters at the center of the story to the lovers, parents, and sociopathic surprises. It's a terrific summer read, set in West Los Angeles and Santa Barbara (and beyond). Put on your favorite 1975 hits and enjoy!
This is Marilee Zdenek's first foray into fiction and her previous books include bestsellers focusing on the mind. Don't skip the author's note--the woman is a phenomenon.
