The Unheard de Nicci French

The Unheard

Autor Nicci French
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2022

În structura narativă a romanului The Unheard, observăm o construcție minuțioasă a vulnerabilității, unde un obiect aparent banal — un desen de copil — devine catalizatorul unei prăbușiri în paranoia și nesiguranță. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorii folosesc perspectiva limitată a unei mame care, deși convinsă că fiica sa a fost martora unei crime, se lovește de zidul de neîncredere al celor din jur. Această izolare psihologică transformă o situație domestică obișnuită într-un scenariu de coșmar, unde granița dintre protecția maternă și obsesie devine periculos de subțire. În tradiția lui Sophie Hannah, acest roman reinterpretează tema secretelor care refuză să rămână îngropate, însă Nicci French aduce o notă distinctă prin accentul pus pe limbajul non-verbal al traumei infantile. Dacă în Woman with a Secret suspansul derivă din încercarea de a ascunde trecutul, aici tensiunea se naște din efortul disperat de a descifra un prezent mut. The Unheard se poziționează ca o evoluție a temelor explorate în The Last Days of Kira Mullan sau The Favour, rafinând acea atmosferă de neliniște halucinantă care a consacrat duo-ul britanic. Subliniem finețea cu care este descris procesul de instrainare a protagonistei față de propria realitate, o temă recurentă în opera lor, unde siguranța căminului este mereu o iluzie fragilă. Ritmul este unul calculat, lăsând spațiu cititorului să analizeze fiecare indiciu alături de Tess, într-o cursă contra cronometru pentru a preveni o tragedie pe care nimeni altcineva nu o vede.

Despre autor

Nicci French este pseudonimul literar al celebrului cuplu de scriitori și jurnaliști britanici Nicci Gerrard și Sean French. Specializați în thrillerul psihologic, aceștia au semnat numeroase bestselleruri internaționale, printre care „Secret Smile” și „Killing Me Softly”, fiind recunoscuți pentru capacitatea de a sonda cele mai întunecate unghere ale minții umane. Opera lor, care include și populara serie „Frieda Klein”, este definită de o documentare riguroasă și de o înțelegere profundă a dinamicii relațiilor interumane sub presiune, elemente care se regăsesc din plin și în cel mai recent titlu al lor, The Unheard.

Descriere scurtă

THE NEW THRILLER FROM THE MASTER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE
 
‘He did kill. Kill and kill and kill.’
 
Tess’s number one priority has always been her three-year-old daughter Poppy. But splitting up with Poppy’s father Jason means that she cannot always be there to keep her daughter safe.
 
When she finds a disturbing drawing, dark and menacing, among her daughter’s brightly coloured paintings, Tess is convinced that Poppy has witnessed something terrible. Something that her young mind is struggling to put into words.
 
But no one will listen. It’s only a child’s drawing, isn’t it?
 
Tess will protect Poppy, whatever the price. But when she doesn’t know what, or who, she is protecting her from, how can she possibly know who to trust . . . ?  

‘What an intriguing, compelling page-turner. I ate it up in two days’ Liz Nugent, author of Our Little Cruelties

'I love Nicci French’s books, and with The Unheard they are right at the top of their game. Few crime writers can match their psychological acuity, of their ability to lead a reader through dizzying plot twists without ever losing pace. It’s an absolute masterclass of crime writing' Kate Rhodes, author of the Locked-Island Mystery series
                                                                                                              
Praise for Nicci French:
 
'Confirms Nicci French as the giant of the genre' Erin Kelly
‘Part ingenious locked-room mystery. Part you’ve-got-the-wrong-person nightmare drama. Part intricate memory game. Yet all seamlessly woven together. French’s best book yet’ A J Finn
‘Expertly paced, psychologically sharp, thoroughly enjoyable' Louise Candlish
‘Meticulously plotted, psychologically astute’ Sarah Vaughan
‘Great writing, razor-sharp plotting, and powerful characterisation. I was 100 pages in before I even drew breath, and I defy anyone to see the ending coming’ Cara Hunter
‘It’s Nicci French perfection – which, as we all know, is the best kind of perfection. So, so gripping and brilliantly clued' Sophie Hannah
‘A novel that blissfully plays with two genres: on the one hand an against-the-odds legal thriller à la John Grisham… and on the other a Miss Marple whodunnit’ Sunday Times
‘Nicci French husband-and-wife writing team responsible for some of the UK’s best psychological thrillers have created a gem of a protagonist in Tabitha’ Observer
‘First-class’ Independent
‘Gripping’ Literary Review
‘Gritty and moving – the husband-and-wife team have scored another hit’ Best
‘A twisty and shocking read’ Bella
‘Engrossing’ Good Housekeeping

Recenzii

‘A mesmerising portrait of a child under stress, observed obsessively because every tiny trait is a possible clue to an important crime’   
'I love Nicci French’s books, and with The Unheard they are right at the top of their game. Few crime writers can match their psychological acuity, of their ability to lead a reader through dizzying plot twists without ever losing pace. It’s an absolute masterclass of crime writing' 
‘What an intriguing, compelling page-turner. I ate it up in two days’ 
'The Nicci French duo have been on a strong run since reverting to non-series thrillers, and it continues with The Unheard… This is a mesmerising portrait of a child under stress, observed obsessively because every tiny trait is a possible clue to an important crime'
'A haunting investigation of our darkest fears'
‘Utterly absorbing, brilliantly plotted, twisty and original’ 
‘An intense, brilliantly crafted thriller that hums with menace from start to finish'
'The Unheard is the sort of book that makes you miss your bus stop'
'In the very capable hands of the dynamic writing duo known as Nicci French, the big reveal is sophisticated, satisfying and very surprising'
‘The Unheard is excellent – a breathless read brimming with misdirection and fear’
‘Husband-and-wife team of Nicci Gerrard and Sean French tackle the subject of how difficult is it for people with a background of mental illness to be taken seriously… Tess is an excellent mother and an appealing character, as is Poppy. If some of Tess’s activities are morally dubious, at least they are impelled by something other than the selfish desire for gratification pursued by more than one of the suspects in this fast-moving domestic thriller’
‘The police don’t smell a rat. They see no crime. Narrator Tess is wasting their time with her crazed conviction that her daughter, Poppy, has witnessed an atrocity. A three-year-old cannot tell what she saw, but there is a menacing drawing, strange utterances, disturbed behaviour. Can Jason Poppy’s father, be trusted? Can anyone? The usual French polish from an accomplished husband-and-wife duo’
‘Husband and wife duo Nicci Gerrard and Sean French have created another enthralling, tantalisingly twisty read’
'Confirms Nicci French as the giant of the genre' 

Notă biografică

Nicci French is the pseudonym for the writing partnership of journalists Nicci Gerrard and Sean French. The couple are married and live in London and Suffolk.
