Autor Lindsay Hunter
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 noi 2023
"Jackie Newsome's best friend is dead, and everyone knows who killed her. Jackie is an ex-emotional eater and mother of four, who has finally lost the weight she long yearned to be free of. But leaving her old self behind proves harder than she ever imagined. She believes she should be happier, but misery still chases her, and motherhood threatens to consume her. Her only salve is Theresa, her best friend whose life she desperately covets. Their bond is tight, but it doesn't stop Jackie from having an affair with Theresa's husband, Adam. And when Theresa catches Jackie in the act, the consequences ripple far beyond the ruins of their friendship. Hot Springs Drive is a dark, heart-pounding exploration of one woman's deepest desires, and the lives she will destroy to satisfy them."--

Recenzii

Left me absolutely gutted, devastated ... Truly brilliant, sexy and sly storytelling
A perfect cocktail: precise and gritty writing, achingly and terrifyingly real characters, with a dash of mystery and darkness. Intoxicating
Hot Springs Drive is a sneak attack. It has everything you could want in a book, delivered when you least expect it ... I'm in awe
I f**ing loved this. Thrilling and gorgeously observed
Poignant, luscious, brutal, gorgeous, heartbreaking and totally unique - this stunning book destroyed me, and I didn't want it to end
A bold, unflinching exploration of female friendship, motherhood and desire, with an unforgettable anti-heroine as its bloody, beating heart. I've read nothing like it
A haunting meditation on human desire and the monstrosity that can emerge out of ordinary hearts, on ordinary suburban streets ... I couldn't stop turning the pages
Gritty and propulsive, a true page-turner; I couldn't put this book down
'There are some things, looking back, that I now believe I deserved.'

Seven years ago, Theresa and Jackie meet in a maternity ward. Sleep-deprived new mothers; instant friends.

Then they become neighbours on Hot Springs Drive - a nice street in a nice neighbourhood, filled with flower boxes and emerald lawns.

The story ends like this: in the depths of a sweltering heatwave, Theresa discovers that her husband and Jackie are having an affair. The next day, Theresa's body is found.

The truth lies somewhere between the picket fences and pink blossoms, where friendships twist into tragic jealousies and barbecues hide bed hopping and bloodshed. By summer's end, the residents of Hot Springs Drive will never be the same...
