Lie Beside Me de Gytha Lodge

Lie Beside Me

Autor Gytha Lodge
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 iun 2021

Recomandăm Lie Beside Me ca fiind cel mai ambițios proiect de până acum al autoarei Gytha Lodge. După succesul răsunător cu She Lies in Wait și A Killer in the Family, unde secretele de familie și trecutul dictau prezentul, Lodge schimbă viteza. Acum, totul este visceral. Louise se trezește. Capul îi bubuie. Memoria e un gol imens. Lângă ea nu este Niall, soțul ei. Este un străin. Și nu mai respiră. Tensiunea se instalează instantaneu. Cine a citit Stay Awake de Megan Goldin va recunoaște aici teroarea personajului care nu își poate accesa propriile amintiri pentru a se dezvinovăți. Totuși, Lie Beside Me se distinge prin precizia chirurgicală a scriiturii. Nu este doar un joc al minții, ci o cursă contra cronometru. Putem afirma că Lodge stăpânește arta suspansului dozat milimetric. Fiecare capitol dărâmă o certitudine construită anterior. Spre deosebire de Watching from the Dark, unde perspectiva era externă, aici suntem captivi în paranoia lui Louise. Este ea o victimă sau un ucigaș care a uitat fapta? Ritmul este alert, dar niciodată grăbit, lăsând loc indiciilor care se ascund la vedere. Este un roman polițist dens, care redefinește conceptul de „thriller de amnezie” prin complexitatea personajelor secundare și rigoarea anchetei.

De ce să citești această carte

Dacă iubești romanele în care nu poți avea încredere nici măcar în narator, această carte este pentru tine. Câștigi o experiență intensă de descifrare a unui puzzle psihologic unde miza este libertatea. Este lectura ideală pentru fanii lui Claire Douglas sau Jane Casey care caută o intrigă construită pe premisa „ce faci când te trezești lângă un cadavru și nu știi cine ești?”.

Lie Beside Me confirmă statutul ei de voce autoritară în thrillerul contemporan.

Descriere scurtă

He's lying next to you. He's not your husband. And he's not breathing. . . . And it might have been you. Detective Jonah Sheens is on the trail in this explosive crime novel from the acclaimed author of She Lies in Wait and Watching from the Dark Louise wakes up. Her head aches, her mouth is dry, her memory is fuzzy. But she suspects she's done something bad. She rolls over towards her husband, Niall. The man who, until recently, made her feel loved. But it's not Niall who's lying beside her. In fact, she's never seen this man before. And he's not breathing . . . As Louise desperately struggles to piece her memories back together, it's clear to Detective Jonah Sheens and his team that she is their prime suspect--though they soon find she's not the only one with something to hide. Did she do it? And, if not, can they catch the real killer before they strike again? In this gripping novel, a young woman trying to make sense of her life's bad choices might prove the most dangerous reckoning there is.

Clever, pacy, well-written and utterly gripping, Lie Beside Me is one of my favourite books so far this year.
The latest instalment of the Jonah Sheen series, Lie Beside Me is the best yet. It moves at a cracking pace from the high concept opening to its tightly plotted finale, while deepening the characterisation and the world so well created in the first two of the series. I stayed up till 2am to finish it - brilliantly done.

A gripping, twisted, edge-of-your-seat thriller
Such an ingenious concept and what an opening! I was gripped from that very first shocking page. An intelligent, twisty and compulsive thriller.

I absolutely raced through this. Lots of writers dream up high concept openings and then have no idea where to take them but Gytha delivers in spades and keeps you guessing until the final pages
I loved Watching from the Dark, and Lie Beside Me didn't disappoint as the next in the series. It's another gripping page-turner, where Lodge sucks us in with a nightmarish opening chapter and then keeps us guessing right until the end
It drags you in with a brilliant hook and terrific characters which won't let you go until you've finished. It will keep you guessing right until the end. HIGHLY recommended
Tense and twisty from the start, exploring the darker side of friendship and trying to put together clues from a forgotten night... I woke up early just to finish it!
Just as compelling as you'd expect from this masterful plotter . . . From that explosive opening, this pacy and intricately-woven thriller continues at speed

An absolute belter of a read. Thoroughly absorbing and impossible to put down. Highly recommended for crime fiction fans
An edgy multi-layered mystery with an unforgettable opening and one suspect after another. The goings on in the detectives' private lives were just as fascinating as the main story. The characters were so well-rounded they felt real. I didn't want this story to end.
The shocking opening hooked me in and the twists and turns kept me furiously turning the pages, desperate to know how the story would unfold. Lie Beside Me is a clever and compelling thriller, with a fantastic cast of characters you'll want to spend time with. I loved it
Superbly plotted and and relentlessly pacy, Lie Beside Me is hands-down her best yet. From its grab-you-by-the-throat opening to its truly shocking conclusion, Lie Beside Me will have you second-guessing everyone and everything. This really is a series going from strength to strength
