The Telling Error: Culver Valley Crime Book 9: Culver Valley Crime

Autor Sophie Hannah
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 aug 2014

O mamă obișnuită vrea doar să ducă echipamentul sportiv uitat al fiului său la școală. O rutină banală. Totuși, descoperim cu neliniște că Nicki Clements conduce de opt ori prin fața casei lui Damon Blundy, un jurnalist controversat găsit mort. De ce? Aceasta este întrebarea care deschide The Telling Error. Observăm rapid că nimic nu este ceea ce pare. Blundy a fost ucis cu un cuțit, dar corpul nu prezintă nicio urmă de înjunghiere. Pe perete, un mesaj bizar pictat în roșu: „HE IS NO LESS DEAD”. Nicki este interogată, dar adevărul ei este periculos. Ea nu este criminalul, dar este departe de a fi nevinovată. Notăm cu interes modul în care Sophie Hannah construiește o cursă contra cronometru în care amintirile fragmentate devin singura cale de scăpare. Forța narativă a lui A. J. Finn din End of Story se combină aici cu precizia matematică a unui puzzle clasic, dar cu un glas propriu, mult mai întunecat. Față de volumele anterioare din seria Culver Valley Crime, precum A Room Swept White, Sophie Hannah apasă pedala obsesiei psihologice. Dacă în alte lucrări precum The Opposite of Murder miza era mărturisirea falsă, aici explorăm eroarea care trădează o viață dublă. Ritmul este sacadat. Tensiunea, constantă. Este un labirint al minciunilor unde fiecare detaliu omis este o condamnare la moarte.

Despre autor

Sophie Hannah este o autoare de succes, prezentă constant în topurile New York Times, cunoscută pentru cele nouă romane polițiste psihologice și pentru faptul că este prima scriitoare autorizată de moștenitorii Agathei Christie să continue aventurile lui Hercule Poirot, începând cu The Monogram Murders. Lucrările sale sunt traduse în douăzeci și șapte de țări și au fost recompensate cu premii prestigioase, inclusiv UK National Book Award. În seria Culver Valley Crime, ea explorează mecanismele vinovăției și ale obsesiei, demonstrând o abilitate rară de a crea enigme care par insolubile. Locuiește în Cambridge, Anglia.


Descriere

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's mysteries, as well as Clare Mackintosh and Paula Hawkins, the ninth psychological thriller from Sophie Hannah is a literary mystery and a puzzle that's impossible to solve . . .

'Fiendishly clever' Sunday Express
'Exceptional' Elle

Knowing the secret will kill you.

All she wanted to do was take her son's forgotten sports kit to school.

So why does Nicki Clements drive past the home of controversial newspaper columnist Damon Blundy eight times in one day? Blundy has been murdered, and the words 'HE IS NO LESS DEAD' daubed on his wall - in red paint, not blood. And, though Blundy was killed with a knife, he was not stabbed. Why?

Nicki, called in for questioning, doesn't have any of the answers police are looking for. Nor can she tell them the truth, because although she is not guilty of murder, she is far from innocent. And the words on the wall are disturbingly familiar to her, if only she could remember where she has heard them before . . .

Recenzii

Riveting . . Her best twists and solution yet
The queen of psychological crime . . . Fiendishly clever . . . Hannah is masterly at leading the reader down the wrong path and here she excels once again.
The genius of Hannah's domestic thrillers - along with the twistiest plots known to woman - is that she creates ordinary people whose psychological quirks make them as monstrous as any serial killer.
The queen of the ingenious plot twist
Hannah has revived the apparently exhausted detective genre by inventing a new style. You could call it every-day Gothic or ordinary extremism. But whatever label you stick on her books, they stay with you because you are likely to share or at least understand the motives of the killer.
There is an admirable, complicated cleverness about [Hannah's] stories . . . Think Agatha Christie at her best but updated to a time of Twitter and online dating.
Each of Hannah's characters is incredibly psychologically developed, full of light and shade: a challenge to understand. If you want a tale to keep you on your toes, give your brain a jolt, and cause a series of heart attacks, THE TELLING ERROR is for you. Hannah proves once again that she deserves the accolade of Queen of Crime.
Difficult to put down. Hannah is terrific on complex, tangled, forbidden or impossible relationships that result in murder.
An exceptional storyteller - this is exactly the sort of crime read that can lead to missed tube stops and sleepless nights.
All she wanted to do was take her son's forgotten sports kit to school.

'One of the great unmissable of this genre - intelligent, classy and with a wonderfully Gothic imagination' THE TIMES
