The Ex-Husband: The perfect escapist thriller for summer 2026 from the Sunday Times bestselling author
Autor Karen Hamiltonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 dec 2021
O mie de mile distanță nu sunt suficiente pentru a îngropa o viață clădită pe înșelătorie. Observăm cum Charlotte, protagonista noului roman semnat de Karen Hamilton, crede că a lăsat în urmă trecutul penal și parteneriatul toxic cu Sam. Însă dispariția subită a fostului soț și amenințarea cu expunerea crimelor lor comune spulberă orice iluzie de siguranță. Tensiunea escaladează rapid când Charlotte se refugiază pe un iaht de lux în Caraibe, doar pentru a realiza că oceanul nu oferă protecție, ci izolare totală. Subliniem modul în care spațiul opulent devine o capcană claustrofobă. Nimeni nu este cine pare a fi. Amenințarea este la bord. Nu mai există nicio cale de scăpare. În tradiția lui Leah Konen din The Perfect Escape, acest roman explorează modul în care o escapadă planificată pentru supraviețuire se transformă într-un coșmar în care personajele sunt forțate să își înfrunte propriile minciuni. Dacă în The Perfect Girlfriend autoarea analiza obsesia dintr-o perspectivă domestică, aici extinde miza într-un cadru exotic și periculos. Ritmul este alert, dictat de urgența de a demasca șantajistul înainte ca apele adânci să devină mormânt. Credem că The Ex-Husband reușește să mențină un echilibru fin între luxul decorului și brutalitatea secretelor care ies la suprafață.

The addictive new thriller from Karen Hamilton, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE PERFECT GIRLFRIEND.
He's missing, presumed dead. But she still can't escape.
Charlotte and Sam were partners. In life, and in crime. They never stole from anyone who couldn't afford it. Wealthy clients, luxury cruise ships. It was easy money, and harmless. At least, that's what Charlotte told herself, until the world caved in on her.
But now, years after she tried to put that past life behind her, it comes rushing back when her estranged ex-husband Sam suddenly goes missing - and someone threatens to expose what they did.
Desperate to escape whoever is tormenting her, Charlotte takes a job as events planner for an engagement party onboard a superyacht in the Caribbean. For a while, her plan seems to have worked, nothing but open ocean and clear skies ahead. Until it becomes clear that she's no longer a thousand miles away from harm.
Because whoever is behind it all is onboard too. And now there's nowhere left to run.
