Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Sensationally good psychological suspense...exactly what a great thriller should be."--Lee Child

"Let me now acknowledge having done what thriller writers love doing: burying the lead. It's Disclaimer that turns out to be the Gone Girl of the season."--Janet Maslin, New York Times

"With pitch-perfect pacing and alternating narrators that leap off the page, Disclaimer is both a page-turning mystery and an artful exploration of the explosive intersection between marriage and motherhood, revenge and regret. A wonderfully compelling book."--Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia

"The first requirement of a fabulous summer read is that it should be too enthralling to put down. Disclaimer meets that requirement mightily.... A gripping, well-written story for those who aren't afraid of the darker side of summer reading."--Charleston Gazette

"This debut British psychological thriller engages the reader from page one; mystery aficionados will dash to finish it in one sitting. Deliciously captivating, brilliantly twisty, and enticingly addictive, it hits the trifecta for a strong thriller!"--Library Journal (starred review)

"A terrific novel with a brilliantly creepy central premise. One of the best debut thrillers I have ever read."--Paula Daly, author of What Kind of Mother Are You?

"The control of the reader's sympathies, the construction and pacing and the interweaving of [the] narratives, past and present, are remarkably accomplished in an addictive novel that has parallels with Gone Girl, but shows no sign of brazenly jumping onto that book's bandwagon."--London Sunday Times

"Disclaimer by Renee Knight is an obsessive read. It is not a book to be read a chapter at a time, but one that demands to be devoured at once."--NY Journal of Books

"Unsettling.... The ending delivers more than one emotional wallop. Readers' feelings about each character will likely be upended as they're reminded that sometimes people commit atrocious acts out of love, and those who behave abhorrently can also be honorable."--Shelf Awareness (starred)

"A brilliantly conceived, deeply disturbing psychological thriller about a woman haunted by secrets-and the price she will pay for concealing the truth."--Quivering Pen

Reseña del editor:

A brilliantly conceived, deeply unsettling psychological thriller— already an international sensation—about a woman haunted by secrets, the consuming desire for revenge, and the terrible price we pay when we try to hide the truth.

Finding a mysterious novel at her bedside plunges documentary filmmaker Catherine Ravenscroft into a living nightmare. Though ostensibly fiction, The Perfect Stranger recreates in vivid, unmistakable detail the terrible day she became hostage to a dark secret, a secret that only one other person knew—and that person is dead.

Now that the past is catching up with her, Catherine’s world is falling apart. Her only hope is to confront what really happened on that awful day . . . even if the shocking truth might destroy her.
