Într-o pădure întunecată

Unele petreceri se pot termina foarte, foarte rău… Ceea ce ar fi trebuit să fie un weekend distractiv și liniștit undeva la țară capătă proporții sinistre în acest thriller psihologic întunecat și plin de suspans. Nora este o scriitoare de romane polițiste, care preferă să stea retrasă. Când o prietenă pe care n-a mai văzut-o de zece ani o invită să-și petreacă weekendul într-o casă izolată din pădure, Nora acceptă fără prea mare entuziasm. Patruzeci și opt de ore mai târziu, se trezește într-un pat de spital, grav rănită, dar în viață, și convinsă că cineva a murit. Întrebându-se nu „ce s-a întâmplat?', ci „ce am făcut?', Nora încearcă să pună cap la cap întâmplările din weekendul care a trecut. Pentru a afla răspunsul la toate întrebările care o copleșesc, trebuie să scoată din nou la iveală acele lucruri despre sine pe care le-ar fi vrut îngropate acolo unde e locul lor: în trecut. 'Pentru cei cărora le-a plăcut Fata din tren și Fata dispărută, Într-o pădure întunecată e lectura perfectă.' - Publishers Weekly 'Citește-o într-o noapte ploioasă – dar cu toate luminile aprinse.' - Kirkus Reviews

La mujer del camarote 10

Has sido testigo de un asesinato... y nadie te cree. La invitación a un crucero de lujo, que zarpa de Londres rumbo a los fiordos noruegos, es como un sueño hecho realidad para Laura Blacklock, una joven periodista en horas bajas. Los primeros compases de la travesía discurren conforme a lo previsto: el ambiente del barco es suntuoso, el servicio, de primera categoría, y el pasaje derrocha elegancia, simpatía y dinero. Sin embargo, todo cambia cuando, una noche, un grito aterrador despierta a Laura, quien, estupefacta, observa cómo el cuerpo de una mujer cae al mar desde el compartimento contiguo. Al dar la voz de alarma, la tripulación le asegura que el camarote número 10 siempre ha estado vacío y que no falta ningún pasajero a bordo. Así, con creciente inquietud, Laura comprueba que... nadie le cree. Y lo peor no es que se sienta sola y aislada, sino que una serie de extraños acontecimientos la convencen de que ella puedeser la próxima víctima. Reseñas: «Un thriller con mucho estilo, una heroína tan imperfecta como encantadora, y un ritmo narrativo trepidante.» Sunday Mirror «Un misterio tenso y envolvente. [...] Los personajes y sus conversaciones, así como el espacio lujoso y cerrado, recuerdan a los misterios clásicos de Agatha Christie.» Kirkus Reviews «Un thriller de alta tensión que te deja sin aliento.» Closer «Una trama que funciona como un reloj y una prosa afilada.» Sunday Express «Una fantástica versión de la mujer enapuros, con una protagonista valiente y un escenario agobiante.» Sunday Times «Una lectura entretenidísima. Asusta e inquieta, te clava al asiento.» Sun on Sunday

Juego de mentiras

Tras el desbordante éxito de La mujer del camarote 10, Ruth Ware vuelve con un thriller psicológico sobre el complejo mundo de la amistad femenina, la fuerza destructora de las palabras dichas y no dichas, y la imposibilidad de eludir nuestros compromisos. Cuando Isa recibe un mensaje en plena madrugada que dice «os necesito», comprende enseguida que el pasado ha vuelto para ajustar cuentas. Pese a que ha hecho lo indecible por olvidar aquel episodio oscuro que marcó su adolescencia, su fidelidad a Kate se antepone a todos sus temores. Así que no duda un instante en tomar el primer tren desde Londres hasta el pueblo costero de Salten, donde la marea baja acaba de dejar al descubierto los restos de un cadáver. Al mismo lugar acudirán Fatima y Thea, las otras dos chicas de aquel cuarteto tan especial que en el internado formaban una piña, una unión que culminó en una promesa solemne. Aficionadas al peligroso juego de las mentiras y a saltarse las normas del colegio, sus caminos se separaron de forma abrupta y dramática. Ahora, este reencuentro súbito las obliga a revisar sus recuerdos y a compartir sus secretos sobre el episodio que cambió sus vidas, aunque con ello afloren unas cuantas verdades para las que quizá no estén preparadas. Críticas: «Un thriller estremecedor y muy inteligente. Una lectura conmovedora.» The Sunday Mirror «Espeluznante, cautivador e ingenioso.» Daily Express «Atrapa desde la primera página.» Stylist «Tenso y provocador.» The Independent «Intensamente claustrofóbico.» The Sunday Times «Quien se siente a leer este libro hará bien en cancelar todos los planes previstos para el fin de semana, porque no querrá levantarse del asiento.» Kirkus Review «Adictivo, absorbente y muy inquietante, Juego de mentiras es de lectura obligada para los amantes del thriller psicológico.» Crime by the Book
