Thriller Psychological
A People magazine must-read of summer!
“Lay Your Body Down has everything I love in a
good thriller—family drama, a determined main
character, and an unflinching look at a timely
issue.”—Kellye Garrett, award-winning and Edgar-
nominated author of Like A Sister
A young woman returns to her rural Minnesota hometown,
where a radical evangelical pastor has poisoned
everyone’s minds—and may be covering up a
murder.
After Del Walker fled her small hometown and its cult-
like church, she vowed to never return. The man she loved,
Lars, left her to marry the local golden girl Eve, and their
romance is now the focus of Eve’s viral blog espousing
the pastor’s conservative philosophy about women and
marriage. But six years later, Lars is suddenly killed, and
she’s convinced it couldn’t have been an
accident.
When Del returns to her hometown for the funeral,
she discovers the now mega-church—and the insidious,
patriarchal teachings of Pastor Rick Franklin—has
grown not only in size but in influence. Eve was clearly
discontent in her marriage, despite the carefully
constructed “Noble Wife” positivity of her blog
posts, and Del knows better than anyone just how far she
will go to get what she wants. Del is determined to cut
through the church’s lies and corruption to find out
who killed Lars—even if it means confronting the
religious trauma she’s spent years trying to bury.
