The Other People de C. J. Tudor

The Other People

Autor C. J. Tudor
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 aug 2020

O fetiță de cinci ani privește prin luneta unei mașini aflate în trafic și rostește un singur cuvânt: „Tati”. Aceasta este ultima imagine pe care Gabe o are cu fiica sa, Izzy. Poliția consideră cazul închis, declarând decesul, dar Gabe nu se oprește. De trei ani, el bântuie autostrăzile, un spectru al durerii fixat pe o urmă care pare să se șteargă. Merită menționat că tensiunea nu vine doar din această căutare disperată, ci și din perspectiva lui Fran. Ea fuge. Ea știe adevărul despre Izzy. Ea cunoaște brutalitatea celor care o urmăresc din umbră. Reținem un stil narativ alert, unde capitolele scurte pulsează de urgență și atmosferă apăsătoare. Ca și The Taking of Annie Thorne, romanul explorează trauma dispariției unui copil, dar dintr-o perspectivă mult mai dinamică, axată pe teroarea drumului și pe ideea de „oameni ceilalți” care operează în afara legii. Dacă în The Burning Girls C. J. Tudor miza pe secretele întunecate ale unei comunități izolate, aici extinde amenințarea la nivelul întregii rețele de șosele britanice. Credem că autoarea reușește să transforme banalul condus nocturn într-un coșmar palpabil. Este o poveste despre justiție privată și răzbunare, unde linia dintre victimă și agresor devine periculos de subțire. Totul converge spre o confruntare finală unde trecutul lui Fran și obsesia lui Gabe se ciocnesc violent.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm acest roman pasionaților de thrillere psihologice care caută un ritm cinematic și o intrigă construită pe mai multe planuri. Veți găsi o explorare dură a limitelor până la care poate merge un părinte pentru a-și găsi copilul. Este lectura ideală pentru cei care au apreciat atmosfera din Girl A, oferind însă o doză suplimentară de suspans supranatural și o dinamică de tip „pisica și șoarecele” care vă va ține în alertă.

Despre autor

C. J. Tudor este o scriitoare britanică de succes, supranumită de publicația Daily Mail „versiunea feminină a lui Stephen King”. S-a impus pe scena literară internațională cu debutul său, The Chalk Man, demonstrând o afinitate pentru zonele obscure ale psihicului uman și pentru elementele macabre integrate în cotidian. Stilul său se caracterizează prin răsturnări de situație surprinzătoare și o capacitate deosebită de a crea atmosferă. În lucrări precum The Burning Girls sau The Drift, autoarea explorează constant teme legate de traumele trecutului și secretele comunităților mici, consolidându-și reputația de „Queen of Creepy” în literatura contemporană de suspans.

Notă biografică

C. J. Tudor's love of writing, especially the dark and macabre, started young. When her peers were reading Judy Blume, she was devouring Stephen King and James Herbert. Over the years she has had a variety of jobs, including trainee reporter, radio scriptwriter, dog walker, voiceover artist, television presenter, copywriter and, now, author. Her novels, The Chalk Man and The Taking of Annie Thorne, were Sunday Times bestsellers and have sold in over forty countries.

Recenzii

C. J. Tudor is terrific. I can't wait to see what she does next
C. J. Tudor has done it again. A mesmerizingly chilling and atmospheric page-turner
Utterly magnificent. Such a beautifully weaved and satisfyingly complex tale, with just the right level of spookiness
Chilling and utterly gripping. Loved the twists and the well-drawn everyday details. A fantastic new book from the Queen of Creepy
The Other People is a creepy, intense novel that drew me right in and never let go. C. J. Tudor's books keep getting better and better, and this one won't let you stop reading until the very last page!
Hugely enjoyable and deliciously creepy. I was hooked from its gripping opening, all the way through its many twists and turns. Ostensibly about a man searching for his missing daughter, it's a tale about loss, where nothing is quite as it seems; and, although you may think you've got it worked out, C. J. Tudor is always several steps ahead. A brilliant storyteller.
Her books have the ability to simultaneously make you unable to stop reading while wishing you could bury the book somewhere deep underground where it can't be found anymore. Compelling and haunting
An intense novel that gets right to the heart of what it means to love and to grieve. Intriguing, dramatic and heart-breaking
A father's desperate search for his vanished daughter provides the beating heart of this complex thriller, which is suffused with loss, longing and vengeance. Touches of the supernatural bring an extra dimension to the spine-tingling thrills
A darkly compelling tale of justice, revenge and the darkness lurking at the edges of everyday life - with an utterly propulsive plot that makes it very, very hard to put down
C. J. Tudor is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. She has such a gift for storytelling. Couldn't turn the pages fast enough
C. J. Tudor's best novel to date. This tale of the lengths some people will go to to ease their grief was utterly emotionally believable while still treading at the edges of the worlds of Stephen King and Dean Koontz. Gripping and thoroughly entertaining. I can't wait to see what she does next
It's rare to read something so downright terrifying but C.J. Tudor manages it time and again. The Other People grabs you by the throat and keeps on squeezing till the very last page. Clever. Original. Brilliant
Fabulous
I adored The Other People. I was absolutely gripped from start to finish. Deliciously dark, with realistic characters that you simultaneously root for, then recoil from
Excellent. A clever, tense and touching novel
Sets the bar high for every other thriller this year
Diabolically clever and propulsive as a rollercoaster. If you like twisty thrillers that leave you guessing till the very last page, this is a must-read
Another black fist of doom, smashing into the feeble world . . . loved it!
Such intricate and enthralling storytelling. Evocative and creepy
This book is chilling. It's the type of book you need to read with the lights on and the doors locked but it's so gripping you won't regret the mild night terrors
C. J. Tudor has crafted an intense novel that gets right to the heart of what it means to love and to grieve . . . Intriguing, dramatic and heartbreaking
A chilling psychological thriller, pulsing with atmosphere and plot twists
A well-crafted story that blends a mystery with some supernatural chills. You'll want to leave the light on
A chilling, atmospheric tale of justice, revenge, and the darkness lurking on the fringes of society
Vivid characterisation, lots of mystery as well as a twisting plot, it makes for a gripping page turner
The chilling new novel by the bestselling author of The Chalk Man is an absolute page-turner. We'll just say the author isn't referred to as the 'Queen of Creepy' for nothing
Complex thriller which is suffused with loss, longing and vengeance. Touches of the supernatural add to the spine-tingling thrills
A novel with a formidable emotional pull
C.J. Tudor is mastering the suspense/horror genre . . . It's quietly disconcerting, completely relatable and shows you that humans have a wonderfully dark side
Kidnap mystery and horror suspense all rolled into one as a man is haunted by his abduction of his daughter while the woman who knows what happened is on the run for her life
Praise for C. J. Tudor
CJ Tudor taps into those things that woke you up in the night when you were a kid and then stay with you when you're an adult
Britain's female Stephen King
Some writers have it, and some don't. C. J. Tudor has it big time
A dark star is born
An intense novel that gets right to the heart of what it means to love and grieve
Wonderfully gripping and doubt-inducing
