Shiver: a gripping locked room mystery with a killer twist de Allie Reynolds

Shiver: a gripping locked room mystery with a killer twist

Autor Allie Reynolds
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 oct 2021

Observăm în Shiver un thriller psihologic care respectă cu rigoare canoanele subgenului „locked room mystery”, dar le injectează cu o doză de adrenalină specifică sporturilor extreme. Allie Reynolds, ea însăși fostă snowboarderă profesionistă, construiește o atmosferă sufocantă într-o cabană părăsită din Alpii francezi. Cinci prieteni. Un munte izolat. Un trecut care refuză să rămână îngropat. Notăm cu interes cum competiția acerbă din lumea snowboardingului devine aici un catalizator pentru crimă și trădare. Zece ani au trecut de la dispariția Saskiei, iar invitația la reuniune pare acum o capcană orchestrată cu precizie. Credem că forța acestui roman rezidă în ritmul său alert; capitolele sunt scurte, iar tensiunea crește pe măsură ce un joc aparent inofensiv scoate la iveală adevăruri periculoase. Nimeni nu este cine pretinde a fi. Cine i-a adunat acolo? Cât de departe vor merge pentru a supraviețui? Cei care au parcurs The Sanatorium de Sarah Pearse vor fi pregătiți pentru decorul montan ostil și sentimentul de izolare totală, însă Shiver aduce o perspectivă mai tehnică și mai brutală asupra ambiției umane. Dacă în alte romane polițiste miza este dreptatea, aici miza este supraviețuirea într-un mediu unde natura este la fel de letală ca intențiile celor din jur. Este un debut care transformă zăpada imaculată într-un fundal pentru cele mai întunecate secrete.
