He Started It
Autor Samantha Downingen Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2020
Ritmul este frenetic. O cursă contracronometru unde fiecare oprire pe marginea drumului poate fi ultima. În He Started It, Samantha Downing ne proiectează direct pe scaunul din spate al unei mașini pline de secrete, resentimente și moșteniri periculoase. Ne-a atras atenția modul brutal în care autoarea desființează conceptul de solidaritate familială. Familia ta te cunoaște cel mai bine. Știe ce te face să zâmbești, dar mai ales, îți cunoaște cele mai adânci traume. Iar în această călătorie spre infern, tocmai această proximitate devine cea mai ascuțită armă. Considerăm că forța acestui roman polițist stă în tensiunea psihologică insuportabilă: cine va ceda primul? Dacă My Lovely Wife v-a captivat prin explorarea secretelor întunecate dintr-o căsnicie aparent perfectă, această carte extinde experiența în direcția unei disfuncționalități de grup, unde paranoia nu este o alegere, ci o metodă de supraviețuire. Samantha Downing rafinează aici temele abordate în A Twisted Love Story, transformând dinamica toxică dintre două persoane într-un joc de supraviețuire colectiv. Nu există aliați, doar parteneri temporari de conjunctură. Stilul este tăios, dialogurile sunt pline de subînțelesuri, iar atmosfera devine sufocantă pe măsură ce kilometri parcurși scot la iveală adevăruri care ar fi trebuit să rămână îngropate.

Sibling rivalry reaches new and downright despicable heights in He Started It, a novel where nothing is as it seems, and no one can be trusted. Creepy, unnerving and deliciously evil, Samantha Downing is one of the boldest authors I know. A must read!

Descriere scurtă
'So addictive it should come with a warning' Alice Feeney
________
No-one knows you better than your family.
They know the little things that make you smile.
They know your darkest secrets.
Sure, you haven't always been best friends. But if it seemed as though someone was after you, that you might be in danger, then you'd be on each other's side . . .
Right?
So gripping you won't stop reading.
So twisty that you won't know who to trust.
And so dark that you'll realise something truly chilling:
No-one is more dangerous than the ones who know you best.
