Ostensibly this is a psychological thriller charting the experience of TV personality, Gaby Mortimer who according to the blurb ‘has it all’ but then stumbles upon a corpse whilst out jogging, and finds herself at the centre of the murder investigation. As the investigation proceeds, Gaby’s marriage and professional career begin to unravel, leading to much navel gazing and her unlikely personal involvement with a journalist who takes up her cause. Perhaps due to Durrant’s characterisation I found Gaby to be intensely irritating with her middle class smugness, which the author tried to offset with a complete over use of parentheses for the first 150 pages using these to either try to poke fun at the vagaries of the middle class from the author’s security of a middle class viewpoint that sounded hollow in its mockery, or for Gaby to try to grapple with her personal insecurities. Although the parentheses did subside, any sympathy I could have possibly had for this character was well and truly lost by this point, such was my annoyance with the over-egging of the middle class theme and the obvious markers in the story as to her guilt or innocence. As the plot unfolds, Gaby’s life and activities come under the scrutiny of the police and suspicions as to her involvement in the murder intensify Don’t get me started on the characterisation of the police protagonists, as in an effort to introduce some quirkiness to the lead investigator DI Perivale, who Durrant depicts as a long-haired ‘dandy gone wrong’, with a penchant for literary quotes, I’m afraid I found his whole character pretty unrealistic, and indeed many of the aspects of the police investigation, bearing little resemblance to police procedure. even allowing for artistic licence. Disappointingly, the ending was as I guessed, and I thought pretty well signposted from early in the book, so all in all I was left feeling a little flat.

I’m sure this will be marketed with comparisons to the excellent Elizabeth Haynes Into The Darkest Corner or S J Watson’s Before I Go To Sleep, and will no doubt be a contender for the Richard and Judy Book Club, but sadly I was disappointed, despite my initial expectations as a fan of the psychological thriller genre. Shame.

This book was just okay. I didn't have the killer figured out, which is always a good thing. I just couldn't get past that there were so many useless words and not enough content with the mystery and investigation. I found myself skipping paragraphs a few times because what was being said didn't matter to the story or the mystery. It just seemed like filler.

I listened to this book on audible and have to say first that Tracy-Ann Oberman nailed it. She was absolutely brilliant.
This is a twisty psychological thriller which is told through Gabby Mortimer, a daytime TV star who stumbles upon a dead woman whilst having her morning run. Suddenly finding herself as the main suspect in the murder, she is determined to prove her innocence, but the evidence keeps pointing back to her. Perfect for fans of dark, twisty thrillers.

I spent the last fifteen pages or so murmuring to myself "no, no, no" and wondering if I should throw the book at the wall. I'm all for authors pulling the wool over our eyes, but here I felt I'd been not so much part of an intellectual game as just lied to -- the way I'd feel about a TV conjurer whose stunts were based not on skill and craft and misdirection but on trick photography and film editing. Even in tales with twist endings there should be a kind of trust between author and reader; here I think that trust was violated.

So, what about the 279 pages before that betrayal?

Gaby Mortimer is a daytime TV star, which means she has big hair, winning ways and more intelligence than you'd imagine. Out for her morning run on London's Wandsworth Common she comes across the strangled body of a young woman. She contacts the cops on her mobile phone from more or less corpse-side to report her discovery. Within a matter of days, however, she discovers that she has become their #1 suspect: the dead woman kept a file of clippings about Gaby, owned some of Gaby's discarded clothes, and even had in her flat a receipt drawn on Gaby's credit card.

That circumstantial evidence might seem pretty powerful . . . except that surely the cops might think it pointed rather more plausibly toward Gaby's husband Philip, especially when it emerges that the dead woman was pregnant? However, the cops let Philip jet off for a week-long business trip in the Far East while Gaby remains the sole focus of their attentions.

Philip aside, other possible suspects are totally ignored by the cops, which I found very hard to believe, and similarly for Philip's absence during his wife's ordeal: even with their marriage on the rocks, surely as a matter of duty he'd have come scurrying home to stand by her?

There were further plot points concerning which I thought I was being asked to suspend my disbelief a tad too far. At the same time, though, Durrant is a good enough writer that this didn't trouble me too much. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Until . . .

Yep. That ending.

I'd be very much open to reading another thriller by Durrant, but I'd hope that it'd avoid the gimmicked ending. A thriller writer to watch, but perhaps not as yet entirely to trust.

Oh, the number of suspects started to rise and red herrings started popping like flowers in springtime, but I managed to figure it out. (I had two suspects. Two, and only one is...)

*Squeals*

Under Your Skin is definitely creepy. Not as creepy as a Ghost town during Halloween, but nearly as creepy. This book is probably inspired by American Psycho, or at least for some parts. Words like ax murderers made me slightly suspicious of a certain character. And no, I will not be telling you who that is. It's only January, far before the publication date, which is February 4, 2014. If you want to know who did it, read it off someone else's review, because I'm not saying a word. If I said a mere syllable, it will ruin everything. (But I might give you hints).

The plot is strong, with a few convenient plot holes. Of course, everything will explain itself eventually. It will explain everything in the last few chapters. (Oh, I just told you where the identity of the murderer is discovered and confirmed).

The murder of the body, which is the very same body Gaby found, is a crime of passion. Let's simply say it that way. This book and problems remind me of The False Prince, but with a murder instead of a missing prince.

Gaby Mortimer isn't right in head. When she tells her POV, you know instantly that something is off about her. Maybe it's because she just discovered a dead body or maybe because she knows something even darker. (I know the truth, but I'm just talking this way on purpose). In an unhappy marriage and surviving a mundane job, she's thrust into the world of law and creepiness, without a warning. (Heh...without a warning).

One character seems to be quite unusual. Jack Hayward? Or something like that, correct? Anyway, he threw me off the path. A very good trick created by the author. I was momentarily distracted by the red herring. But after careful evaluation, I manage to cross him off the list, leaving only two major suspects in the murder. Readers, who already read this book, probably can guess who are my top suspects. One is a man. One is wife.

The ending. Oooo! I want to know what will be the fate of the killer. I think karma will see a bit of action, but I don't know. The ending of Under Your Skin is throwing me into a loop.

Rating: Four out of Five

One morning while out for a run Gaby discovers the body of a girl. Initially she is just the person who found her, but soon enough she becomes the prime suspect and the cop in charge is totally out to get her. Despite appearances that she has a perfect life with a great husband and sweet child, all is not what it seems. She doesn't love her job as much anymore and her husband is increasingly distant. She has maybe one or two friends and their nanny is not a warm person. Day by day she feels like she's losing control of her life in one way or another. Eventually she recruits the help of a journalist in order to try and clear her name and the story becomes somewhat more interesting. Though, not very. Around the middle of the book, I just didn't care anymore and decided to read the last few pages. Knowing then the truth of it all, I became mildly interested in finding out how it all came to pass and was able to read the whole book thru. The end was the most interesting part even though it still didn't leave me excited or with any emotion for than matter. The real killer didn't come as much of shock though. (view spoiler)

I had issue with the way some of the characters acted in this book. Gaby never actually stuck up for herself and did what she wanted. She always did what her husband wanted or what she thought he would expect. Including pretty much giving up all of her own friends. So that was a little annoying, but I know that that happens for real so okay. Then you have Philip. How stupid he was for believing such crap told to him by a coworker!(view spoiler) And then there's Ania. Poor, sweet, little dead Ania. Yeah right. She lost A LOT of my pity about her murder when we found out what she had said. (view spoiler) ...more

A successful, handsome husband, an adorable daughter, glamorous career as cohost on a morning show & a beautiful home in an affluent part of London. They'd be wrong.
The house is great & Millie is a sweetie. But Gaby & Philip are not the people they used to be & have drifted apart. And at work, Gaby has the feeling they are planning on trading her in for a younger model. She does her best to keep up the facade in both places but the stress is getting to her.
Things really start to unravel when she stumbles over the body of a young woman while running in the park. Before she knows it, she's the prime suspect. DI Perivale seems to have it in for her. Incessant questioning & a night in jail lead to her bosses suggesting she take a few days off...TV speak for "you're fired". And don't even start on the throng of press camped on her front lawn. All while Philip is attending meetings in Singapore.
There are peripheral characters that flesh out the story, notably her BFF Clara, a determined journalist named Jack & Marta, the nanny.
The novel has a good premise. The problem is how long it takes before you really get invested in the characters & start to pay attention. It's almost as if a different author wrote the last third, by far the best part of this book.
Initially, I found Gaby a difficult person to like. She comes across as brittle, flighty & fake. I know she's desperately trying to hold on to her life but her personality & behaviour make it hard to feel any sympathy for her & you really need to for the story to work. Philip is depicted as absent & self centred, a bland & pretentious kind of guy. It's only in the final pages that they become interesting & more three dimensional.
The plot itself is promising but you have to care about the characters or find them compelling to get into a book, preferably early on. Much of the dialogue is initially superficial & a tighter edit on Gaby's endless streams of consciousness would have helped. I know other reviewers have mentioned the way DI Perivale was depicted. I didn't have an issue with his character but PC Morrow comes across as a giggly schoolgirl spouting all kinds of nonsense. A more realistic characterization would have added some much needed weight to the story, particularly in the beginning.
As with all books, it's a matter of taste. If you've read something by this author before & enjoyed their writing style, no doubt you'll like this as well. ...more

My thoughts after reading this book...

Gaby and Phillip lead a very posh life. He is in finance...she is a television celebrity. They have a lovely home...a young daughter and a nanny. Gaby has not had the ideal childhood...her mother was an alcoholic who recently died. She has been feeling lately as though something is missing from her life. She has also been wondering if her husband has been having an affair. He is frequently gone, always on the phone and even missed his daughter's birthday. When she discovers this dead body...the police immediately question her and then later suspect her. Because she is a celebrity...she is hounded by the press and released from her job. She becomes friends with a quirky journalist in order find out what really happened and to clear her name. At this point this book sort of changes from really good to freaking phenomenal! Things happen that are amazing...shocking...and unbelievable...and...so good that I could not put this book down.

What I loved best...

The characters in this book were totally fascinating. The nannies, the friends, the police...they were well developed and believable. At a certain point in this book...a number of people could have killed this girl. Seriously...I could not believe what actually happened...I had a set idea about what happened and by the end of the story it was shattered to pieces!

My ending thoughts for potential readers...

I wish I could tell you more but I can't...it would spoil this book...trust me when I say you want to read this without knowing anything about it...you want to savor and devour every page.

Readers who loved The Silent Wife, Gone Girl, and The Husband's Secret will love this book!

I read this book in one day. We were in the midst of a three day power outage due to ice storms. It was the only thing that kept me going. I repeat...the ending totally took me by surprise...this writer is amazing! ...more
