I Know You Know: A Novel de Gilly Macmillan

I Know You Know: A Novel

Autor Gilly Macmillan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 sep 2018

Traducerea acestui roman din limba engleză păstrează ritmul febril al originalului, reușind să transfere în română acea stare de neliniște constantă specifică genului mystery. I Know You Know nu este doar o investigație, ci o cursă contra cronometru. Două decenii. Un caz închis, dar niciodată uitat. Cody Swift se întoarce în trecut cu ajutorul unui podcast, sperând să găsească adevărul despre moartea prietenilor săi. Considerăm că forța narațiunii stă în modul în care trecutul refuză să rămână îngropat. Stilul are ceva din proza lui April Henry în Girl Forgotten, fără să fie o imitație — Macmillan alege o perspectivă mult mai matură și mai întunecată asupra impactului pe care un podcast true-crime îl are asupra unei comunități reale. Observăm o evoluție clară față de lucrările sale anterioare, precum The Nanny sau To Tell You the Truth. Dacă în acelea accentul cădea pe secretele de familie, aici autoarea extinde cadrul spre eșecul sistemului judiciar și obsesia publicului pentru crime reale. Timpul curge împotriva detectivului John Fletcher. Un nou cadavru apare exact în locul unde au fost găsiți băieții acum douăzeci de ani. Este un copycat sau adevăratul criminal s-a întors? Recomandăm această lectură pentru modul chirurgical în care autoarea disecă trauma colectivă. Tensiunea este construită din tăceri și refuzuri, transformând fiecare capitol într-un pas spre un final care reconfigurează tot ce credeam că știm.

Despre autor

Gilly Macmillan este o autoare de succes, prezentă constant în topurile New York Times. Cu o formare academică în istoria artei, ea a lucrat pentru publicații prestigioase precum The Burlington Magazine înainte de a se dedica scrisului. Stilul său, șlefuit prin experiența de lector în fotografie, se remarcă prin atenția vizuală la detalii și construcția metodică a suspansului. Locuiește în Bristol, Anglia, oraș care adesea servește drept fundal pentru intrigile sale tensionate, explorând teme precum vinovăția, maternitatea și secretele îngropate în comunități aparent liniștite.

Descriere scurtă

From New York Times bestselling author Gilly Macmillan comes this original, chilling and twisty mystery about two shocking murder cases twenty years apart, and the threads that bind them.
Twenty years ago, eleven-year-olds Charlie Paige and Scott Ashby were murdered in the city of Bristol, their bodies dumped near a dog racing track. A man was convicted of the brutal crime, but decades later, questions still linger.
For his whole life, filmmaker Cody Swift has been haunted by the deaths of his childhood best friends. The loose ends of the police investigation consume him so much that he decides to return to Bristol in search of answers. Hoping to uncover new evidence, and to encourage those who may be keeping long-buried secrets to speak up, Cody starts a podcast to record his findings. But there are many people who don’t want the case—along with old wounds—reopened so many years after the tragedy, especially Charlie’s mother, Jess, who decides to take matters into her own hands.
When a long-dead body is found in the same location the boys were left decades before, the disturbing discovery launches another murder investigation. Now Detective John Fletcher, the investigator on the original case, must reopen his dusty files and decide if the two murders are linked. With his career at risk, the clock is ticking and lives are in jeopardy…
