    Believe Me : A Novel

    Af Jp Delaney (2018)
    Summary: In this twisty psychological thriller from the  New York Times  bestselling author of  The Girl Before,  an actress plays both sides of a murder investigation.   “A rich, nuanced, highly literary take on the  Gone Girl  theme.”— Booklist  (starred review)   Claire Wright is desperate. A British drama student in New York without a green card, she takes the only job she can get: working for a firm of divorce lawyers, posing as an easy pickup in hotel bars to entrap straying husbands. But then the game changes.    When one of her targets becomes the suspect in a murder investigation, the police ask Claire to use her acting chops to lure him into a confession. From the start, she questions the part she’s being asked to play: Is Patrick Fogler a killer? Or is there more to this setup than she’s being told?   Claire will soon realize she is playing the deadliest role of her life.    Praise for  Believe Me   “For readers who enjoyed the paranoia factor in A. J. Finn’s  The Woman in the Window  or the unreliable narrator of Paula Hawkins’s  The Girl on the Train .” — Library Journal   “Produces a bobsled run’s worth of twists.”  — Publishers Weekly   “An intense, stylish psychological thriller.” — Good Housekeeping   “A dark and haunting thriller . . . A superb evocation of conflicted emotions, this never lets you guess what’s coming next.” — Daily Mail   “I so enjoyed it—what a twisty, exciting read.” —Sabine Durrant, author of  Lie With Me

But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant—and it does. JANE After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street she is instantly drawn to the space—and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home’s previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror, as the girl before.

Delaney builds the suspense.” — Vanity Fair “Immediate guarantee: You will not be able to put this book down. . . . Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will realize that there’s not only more where that came from, but it’s also more thrilling.” — American Booksellers Association
