Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Mesmerizing! Sophie Hannah puts the 'psycho' in psychological suspense with this riveting thriller involving the ultimate closed-door crime scene--and a narrator who is both more and less than what she seems."--Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Crash and Burn and Fear Nothing

"Her plots are ingenious--she's a writer in complete command of her material--and it's O.K. if you haven't quite kept up. She keeps you puzzled and intrigued, right until the end."--The New York Times Book Review

"Kept me guessing at every turn. Sophie Hannah...has clearly mastered the psychological methodology [of] Gillian Flynn or Tana French. Her unreliable narrator commands our attention and even our sympathy."--NPR

"Witty and suspenseful...moves with the speed and unpredictability of a pinball. The author portions out Nicki's secrets in ways that both heighten tension and increase sympathy for this unusual protagonist."--The Wall Street Journal

"No one writes twisted, suspenseful novels quite like Sophie Hannah. I just love her dry, edgy wit and the way she brings her weirdly wonderful characters to life. Woman With a Secret is unpredictable, unputdownable, and unlike anything you've read before."--Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies and The Husband's Secret

Reseña del editor:

The New York Times bestselling author of The Monogram Murders—in the ranks of Ruth Rendell, Deborah Crombie, Kimberly McCreight, and Tana French—makes her William Morrow debut with a dark and chilling psychological thriller in which a woman desperate to hide a devastating secret in her past is drawn into a murder investigation.

Traffic on Elmhirst Road has come to a halt. The police are stopping cars, searching for something. Nicki Clements waits patiently, until she glimpses a face she hoped she’d never see again. It’s him—and he’s the cop checking each car. Desperate to avoid him, she makes a panicky U-turn and escapes.

But Nicki’s peculiar behavior did not go unnoticed, and now the police have summoned her for questioning. A resident of Elmhirst Road has been murdered—a controversial newspaper columnist named Damon Blundy. The detectives begin peppering her with questions. Why was she seen fleeing the scene? What is her connection to the victim? Why was the knife that killed him used in such a peculiar way? Why were the words “HE IS NO LESS DEAD” painted on the wall of Blundy’s study—and what do they signify?

One simple answer could clear her. But she can’t explain why she fled Elmhirst Road that day without revealing the secret that could ruin her.

Nicki isn’t guilty of murder. But she’s far from innocent. . . .
