Lay Your Body Down

A gripping new novel of psychological suspense by the author of Girl, 11

Pastor Rick tells us women are created to serve, to be pure, to submit, to be a delight to their husbands. Who are we to deny the very nature our Creator has built within us?

When Del Walker fled her small hometown and its cult-like church six years ago, she vowed never to go back. Lars, the love of her life, was about to marry local golden girl Eve, author of a popular blog about the church's ‘Noble Wife' teachings.

But now Lars is dead, and Del is convinced it couldn't have been an accident.

When she returns for the funeral, she discovers the church—and the insidious, patriarchal teachings of Pastor Rick Franklin—has taken over the town. And Eve isn't acting much like a grieving widow.

Del is determined to cut through the church's lies and corruption to find out what really happened to Lars—even if it means confronting memories she's spent years trying to bury.

‘Lay Your Body Down is an emotionally charged and unnerving thriller. Dangerous secrets, complex characters, and more than one “oh my God” moment. You won't see the twists coming.' SAMANTHA DOWNING, bestselling author of A Twisted Love Story

‘In Lay Your Body Down, Amy Suiter Clarke perfectly captures the stifling air of small towns and insular churches. More than a murder mystery, this is an excavation of betrayal, revealing the ugly truth that has propped up so many life-destroying lies.' BRYN GREENWOOD, New York Times bestselling author of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things
