Wildfire at Midnight

Autor Mary Stewart
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2012
First published in 1956, this haunting novel of suspense and romance set in the Scottish Hebrides blends pungent description with sheer terror as only Mary Stewart can. Most visitors to the Isle of Skye are there to climb the jagged peaks of Blaven or fish the many sparkling streams, but Gianetta Brooke came to forget Nicholas Drury--the husband she had painfully divorced. Upon arrival, however, Gianetta realizes that this won't be a typical vacation when she discovers that Nicholas is numbered among the guests at the small inn. Then, upon the treacherous slopes of Blaven, a murder is committed, and although Gianetta missed the first act of an eerie, unearthly crime, the murderer is set to strike again and again before a thrilling finale that pits Gianetta face-to-face with a madman.

Recenzii

There are few to equal Mary Stewart as an entertainer. What makes Miss Stewart different from the others . . . is that though her plots are good, her characters are better
I cannot think of anyone who tells stories quite so well
She set the bench mark for pace, suspense and romance - with a great dollop of escapism as the icing
A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors.
