Scrap: 'Blackly humorous and enjoyably twisted' – Paula Hawkins

Autor Calla Henkel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2024
'Blackly humorous and enjoyably twisted'
Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train

'A knotted mystery too intriguing to leave unpicked'
Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller

'
Binge-worthy . . . a brilliantly immersive and almost cinematic experience'
Jenny Mustard, author of Okay Days

Recently dumped and stuck with the mortgage, artist Esther Ray wants to burn the world, but instead, she reluctantly accepts a scrapbooking job from the deliriously wealthy Naomi Duncan. The scrapbooks, a secret birthday gift for Naomi's husband Bryce, trace the Duncan's twenty-five-year marriage. The conditions: Esther must include every piece of paper she's been sent, must sign an NDA, and must only contact Naomi using the burner phone provided. Otherwise she'll spoil the surprise.

As Esther binges true-crime podcasts and works through the near-two hundred-boxes of Duncan detritus, she finds herself infatuated with the gilded family - until, mid-project, Naomi dies suspiciously. When Esther becomes convinced the husband killed her, she uses the scrapbooks' trove of information to insert herself into the Duncan's' lives to prove it. But the more Esther investigates, the further she is dragged back to the scorched earth of her past and the famous artist who paid her to disappear.

Laced with pitch-black humour and conspiratorial unease, Scrap is a razor-sharp examination of wealth and power, art and truth, of the line between justice and revenge - and who gets to cross it.

Recenzii

Scrap offers a bricolage of arson, true crime, mystery and murder that takes its readers from the cosy humility of scrapbooking to the lofty heights of champagne dinners, exclusive gallery openings and private jets. At its wicked heart - a knotted mystery too intriguing to leave unpicked.
Art, true crime and extreme wealth collide in this blackly humorous and enjoyably twisted mystery
A binge-worthy novel . . . Her sharp, intelligent prose and ability to create settings real enough to touch makes Scrap a brilliantly immersive and almost cinematic experience. If morally grey is your favourite colour, Scrap should be your next read
Fans of White Lotus might find much that appeals in this screwy black comedy that revels in the fabulously entertaining dysfunction at the heart of the world's disgustingly wealthy . . . Henkel's lacerating eye for the morally ambiguous keeps you hooked
A darkly humorous mystery about true crime, art and revenge
