Undertow
Autor Elizabeth Heathcoteen Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 sep 2016
Carmen is happily married to Tom, a successful London lawyer and divorcé with three children. She is content to absorb the stresses of being a stepmother to teenagers and the stain of 'second wife'. She knows she'll always live in the shadow of another woman - not Tom's first wife Laura, who is resolutely polite and determinedly respectable, but the lover that ended his first marriage: Zena. Zena who was shockingly beautiful. Zena who drowned swimming late one night.
But Carmen can overlook her husband's dead mistress . . . until she starts to suspect that he might have been the person who killed her.
'Absolutely gripping, I raced through Undertow' Rosamund Lupton.

Recenzii
An immersing story, reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca . . . The "hidden currents" that keep us submerged in Undertow are not only those of the sea, but the fear and suspicion that swell catastrophically through the most intimate relationships
Absolutely gripping, I raced through Undertow - if you've got a journey to go on, an appointment to wait for, then pick it up and watch the time disappear
A tense, gripping thriller that kept me turning the pages long into the night, desperate to know whom to trust
The market is absolutely flooded with psychological thrillers at the moment, and it takes something really special to stand out. Take a bow, Elizabeth Heathcote, because this chilling, twisty and hugely atmospheric tale is standing head and shoulders above the rest . . . This slow-burn tale sneaks up and grabs you by the throat, right when you least it expect it. Brilliant!
Buckle up for this gripping psychological thriller
Her name was Zena. Tom had told Carmen all about it in those first days and weeks after they met - how he had fallen in love with this young woman, how they had bought the bungalow in St Jude's, how one afternoon Zena left the house to go for a swim and never returned. How days later her body had washed up a mile along the coast.
He'd told Carmen all of that more than two years ago now. No one talked about Zena anymore, and the children never mentioned her.
But, it seemed, there were plenty of people who remembered.
