The Only Suspect: Soon to be an ITV drama from the bestselling author of The Other Passenger de Louise Candlish

The Only Suspect: Soon to be an ITV drama from the bestselling author of The Other Passenger

Autor Louise Candlish
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2023

Viața tihnită este o iluzie fragilă. Pentru Alex, siguranța căminului din suburbia Silver Vale se prăbușește în momentul în care trecutul, îngropat adânc timp de decenii, amenință să iasă la suprafață. Miza este totală: libertatea sa și imaginea de soț ideal construită cu grijă lângă Beth. Totul pornește de la un proiect comunitar banal. Un teren abandonat va fi curățat. Utilajele vin. Pământul este întors. Și odată cu el, secretele unei obsesii fatale din tinerețe. Recomandăm acest roman pentru modul chirurgical în care Louise Candlish analizează paranoia. Putem afirma că ritmul este unul de alertă constantă. Alex nu mai este un simplu vecin amabil; este un om hăituit de propriile amintiri. Cine a fost cu adevărat Marina? Ce s-a întâmplat în acea anchetă de crimă nerezolvată? Merită menționat că structura narativă alimentează tensiunea prin omisiuni calculate, o semnătură a autoarei deja vizibilă în Our House. Dacă în The Heights tema centrală era obsesia maternă, aici explorăm vinovăția care refuză să se stingă. The Only Suspect amintește de The Other Passenger prin atmosfera sufocantă a secretelor care distrug vieți obișnuite, dar se diferențiază prin perspectiva unui protagonist care joacă un joc dublu chiar și cu cititorul. Este un studiu despre cât de departe poți fugi de tine însuți înainte ca drumul să se înfunde.

WINNER OF THE FINGERPRINT AWARD FOR THRILLER OF THE YEAR!

THE NEW CAUTIONARY TALE OF OBSESSION, LOVE, JEALOUSY AND DECEPTION FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF OUR HOUSE AND THE OTHER PASSENGER 

Wrong time. Wrong place. Wrong man. 
 
Alex lives a comfortable life with his wife Beth in the leafy suburb of Silver Vale. Fine, so he’s not the most sociable guy on the street, he prefers to keep himself to himself, but he’s a good husband and an easy-going neighbour.
 
That’s until Beth announces the creation of a nature trail on a local site that’s been disused for decades and suddenly Alex is a changed man. Now he’s always watching. Questioning. Struggling to hide his dread . . .
 
As the landscapers get to work, a secret threatens to surface from years ago, back in Alex’s twenties when he got entangled with a seductive young woman called Marina, who threw both their lives into turmoil.
 
And who sparked a police hunt for a murder suspect that was never quite what it seemed. It still isn’t.
 
No one else could have done it. Could they?
