It Ends at Midnight
Autor Harriet Tyceen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 noi 2023
Considerăm că It Ends At Midnight se înscrie perfect în tradiția suspansului claustrofob, amintind imediat de The Last Party de Clare Mackintosh. Ambele volume folosesc contextul festiv al nopții de Revelion pentru a expune fisurile adânci din cadrul unor comunități sau grupuri de prieteni. Totuși, acolo unde Clare Mackintosh mizează pe dinamica unui sat întreg, Harriet Tyce strânge șurubul asupra unui cerc restrâns, într-o locație de lux din Edinburgh. Atmosfera devine rapid sufocantă. Șampania curge, artificiile luminează cerul, dar sub masca celebrării se ascunde un plan letal. Cineva va muri. Cineva vrea răzbunare. Ritmul narativ este alert, dictat de numărătoarea inversă până la miezul nopții. Harriet Tyce își confirmă măiestria în explorarea părților întunecate ale psihicului uman, temă centrală și în lucrările sale anterioare, precum Blood Orange sau The Lies You Told. Dacă în Blood Orange accentul cădea pe obsesie și trădare profesională, aici atenția se mută pe greutatea trecutului care refuză să rămână îngropat. Structura este fragmentată, alternând între strălucirea petrecerii și tensiunea acumulată a secretelor vechi. Putem afirma că autoarea reușește să creeze o presiune constantă, evitând clișeele genului prin detalii de atmosferă specifice Scoției urbane. Nu este doar un roman polițist, ci un studiu despre cum resentimentele pot mocni decenii întregi înainte de a exploda într-o singură noapte.

A blisteringly brilliant read. Harriet Tyce is at the very top of the thriller game.

So compelling it should come with a warning. It Ends At Midnight is the type of book the term "page-turner" was invented for.

Toxic friendships, deadly secrets and a chilling finale. This thriller is one wild ride.
