Lie With Me by Sabine DurrantMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is an interesting tale of a man who strives to do as little as possible to obtain a cheap lay. It’s his ability to lie which achieves sexual conquest for him; yet the tables are turned towards the end when the lying-in bed turns into a plea to lie with him in order to escape conviction. We’re given a hint of the fact that something’s gone wrong early on in the novel; and it’s the what that persuades us to read further into this man’s selfish acts. His actions are quite repulsive and you have to wonder how the families put up with him; especially when he steals from them. His own instincts of the plot are only aroused slightly when one of the younger family members gets into a spot of bother; yet his own behaviours are quite secretive and are often unexplainable which hinders his attempts to plead his innocence. The narrative is very descriptive; though it loses its focus when Paul doesn't supply the reasons for his actions.
