No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done - by Sophie Hannah

Book Synopsis

The twistiest murder mystery you are ever likely to read? A story about a family that does the unthinkable?

Both? Or something else altogether?

You think it will never happen to you.

The doorbell. The policeman. The words that turn your world inside out: I'm afraid there's been an incident...

For Sally Lambert, those words mean only one thing--danger. Not just for her family, but for Champ, their loyal and beloved dog. A single accusation, a neighbor's grudge, and suddenly the Lamberts are trapped in a nightmare with no escape.

Unless they make one.

Most people would never run. Most people would never leave behind everything they know to protect an animal who can't defend himself. But for Sally, Champ is more than a dog--he's one of her children. And most people aren't the Lamberts.

No one has ever done this before. No one has ever gone this far. But the Lamberts have never been quite like any other family...

New York Times bestselling author Sophie Hannah spins an unexpected tale of suspense in No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done, an unsettling reflection on how far we'll go for those we love.

Review Quotes

"An utter joy. This is a murder-mystery about the lengths you would go to to protect the person you love. It is a ferocious battle between good and evil, a tense, page-turner of a book with so many clever avenues, plus *the* most enormous plot twist (Agatha would be in awe). As if that wasn't enough, it's also incredibly funny, extremely entertaining, and a brilliant study of human behaviour. I would totally, one hundred percent do what the Lamberts have done. Wouldn't you?" -- Joanna Cannon, bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep

"This is Sophie Hannah at her wry, ingenious best. A super-relatable what-would-you-do, with a sting in the tail on the very last line. Don't miss it." -- Gillian McAllister, New York Times bestselling author
