What Lies Within by Clare de Lune is an amazing psychological thriller that gives you the best fright one might ever have for some time. The story is memorable and I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars. Congrats #BOTD
Excellent review that forced me to read the book a second time.

Quite a disturbing story. A psychopath who kills people and makes soap from their remains.
Great review, thanks.

Sounds like an interesting read with well-developed characters. The graphic violence and sex is not to my taste so I will probably pass on this one. Thanks for the review though!

If only Ti knew that Sofia was this ruthless and brutal beast, maybe she would have a rethink. And for the Sofia, blood is really ticker than water. I wonder if she has human feelings with the killings.

Raw yet subtle, this book is a horror thriller I would like to see as a movie.

Wow, this one sounds pretty intense! Not sure how I feel - partly horrified, partly intrigued. I might give it a go, thanks!

I love a good thriller, and the main character sounds especially well written in this book. I'll have to sample the beginning to see how I feel about the writing, but this one definitely sounds promising. Thanks for the interesting review!

Great timing for halloween. Sounds like the author dkd a very amazing job. This one's kinda interesting because you'd have a chance to see what a murderer thinks and feels. Although, not really recommended to young and sensitive audience. Thanks for the great review!

Wow! A woman who sells cosmetics she makes from the remains of people she kills is totally gruesome. The level of horror you describe might be too much for me, but surely thriller enthusiasts would love this story. Thanks for the good review!

I agree with you. Very power plot and storytelling. The first sentence alone is unforgettable. I'm glad to hear from your review that the book is consistently good throughout.

From the review, I am impressed by the plot of Clare de Lune's What Lies Within. But, I might not read the book because it borders on horror which is not an area of my reading interests. I think the review is fine.
