Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"A gripping page-turner."--The Sunday Times on The Missing One

"The real power in novels of this type comes in the degree to which the author captures the psychological and emotional conflicts the protagonist must go through. Atkins handles this masterfully."--PCA/ACA Mystery & Detective Fiction Reading List on The Other Child

Praise for Lucy Atkins
"Atkins keeps the suspense high to the startling conclusion."--Publishers Weekly on The Other Child

"A fabulously dark, tension-filled read."--Woman & Home

"This is an enthralling, creepy, and endlessly twisty story about secrets, lies, and the destructive power of ambition."--Heat

"[A] sense of unease keeps pushing all the way to the last, intense pages. A reckoning is coming, but why? . . . With shades of Rebecca and The Secret History, Atkins has produced an eerie page-turner that will have readers guessing from the first."
--Kirkus Reviews


"Part mystery, part feminist tome, part story of parental love, part animal-rights narrative, The Missing One is like nothing I've read before . . . A poetic page-turner."--The Cleveland Plain Dealer on The Missing One

"Part psychological thriller, part morality tale, with a pinch of the supernatural thrown in for good measure, this third novel from Lucy Atkins has the key ingredients of a bestseller. The sound of creepy-crawlies scuttling around in the darkness becomes deafening as events hurtle towards a complex, heart-stopping conclusion. Bone-chillingly good."--Boundless

"Wholly original and utterly unputdownable, The Night Visitor delivers a superb story of suspense with a personality all its own . . . Every book should be as fun to read as this one."--Crime by the Book

"A deliciously creepy novel fueled by fraud, greed, and violence . . . Fits right in with the best of the psychological thrillers on everyone's lists. Readers of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn will love it."--Library Journal (Starred Review)

If you had the perfect life . . . how far would you go to protect it?
Professor Olivia Sweetman has worked hard to achieve the life of her dreams, with a high-flying career as a TV presenter and historian, three children, and a talented husband.

Only one other person knows that Olivia's perfect life is in fact a desperate tangle of lies: Vivian Tester, the socially awkward, middle-aged housekeeper of a Sussex manor who found the Victorian diary of a pioneering female surgeon on which Olivia's new biography is based.

In a gripping narrative that shifts between London, Sussex, and the idyllic South of France, Olivia and Vivian will learn knife-edged truths about themselves and discover just how far each will go to protect her reputation.
