En apparence, Jack et Grace ont tout pour eux. L'amour, l'aisance financière, le charme, une superbe maison.
Le bonheur.
Vous connaissez tous un couple comme celui qu'ils forment, le genre de couple que vous aimeriez connaître mieux.
Vous adoreriez passer davantage de temps avec Grace, par exemple. L'inviter à déjeuner, seule.
Et pourtant, cela s'avère difficile. Vous réalisez que vous ne voyez jamais Jack et Grace l'un sans l'autre.
Est-ce cela que l'on appelle le grand amour ?
À moins que les apparences ne soient trompeuses.
Et que ce mariage parfait ne dissimule un mensonge parfait.
Car pourquoi Grace ne répond-elle jamais au téléphone ?
Et pourquoi les fenêtres de la chambre sont-elles pourvues de barreaux ?
UN PIÈGE CRUEL ET DIABOLIQUE
UN LIVRE BRILLANT ET TERRIFIANT
S'il parle, il la détruit.S'il se tait, il se détruit.Et vous, que feriez-vous ?
Depuis toujours, Livia rêve d'une énorme soirée pour ses 40 ans ; et Adam, son mari, met tout en oeuvre pour que la fête soit inoubliable. Il s'organise pour que leur fille Marnie vienne exprès de Hong Kong – ce sera une surprise pour Livia.
Mais quelques heures avant la soirée, Adam apprend que le vol dans lequel se trouvait peut-être Marnie s'est crashé. Est-ce qu'elle avait pu prendre cet avion, sachant que son vol précédent
avait décollé en retard et qu'elle pensait ne pas pouvoir attraper sa correspondance ? Adam doit-il en parler à Livia, au risque de l'inquiéter pour rien ? Et pourquoi Livia semble-t-elle soulagée que Marnie ne soit pas là ?
Lorsque la fête commence, chacun devra danser avec ses secrets et ses peurs. Jusqu'à ce que s'ouvre enfin le portillon du jardin et qu'une silhouette s'avance vers les invités...
LA DISPARITION. LES SOUPÇONS. LA PEUR.
LA DISPARITION
Layla a disparu il y a douze ans, en pleine nuit, sur une aire d'autoroute, alors qu'elle rentrait de vacances en France avec son petit ami, Finn. On ne l'a jamais revue depuis.
LES SOUPÇONS
Finn a raconté la vérité sur ce qui s'est passé cette nuit-là. Mais pas toute la vérité.
Ni aux policiers qui l'ont interrogé lors de l'enquête, ni même à Ellen, la soeur de Layla, avec laquelle il a refait sa vie et qu'il s'apprête à épouser.
LA PEUR
Quand un de leurs voisins croit apercevoir Layla près du cottage où vivent Finn et Ellen, le passé ressurgit. Finn reçoit d'étranges et inquiétants e-mails. Layla serait-elle encore en vie ? Et pourquoi des petites poupées russes, souvenirs de l'enfance des deux soeurs, font-elles soudain leur apparition ?

Alice croyait avoir trouvé la maison de ses rêves...
Quand Léo et elle emménagent au Cercle de Finsbury, une résidence haut de gamme en plein Londres, la jeune femme est persuadée de prendre enfin un nouveau départ. Et tant pis si les choses sont allées un peu vite avec Léo et si celui-ci a pris en charge leur emménagement
sans véritablement la consulter. La maison est parfaite, la résidence idéale, et les voisins semblent si accueillants !
... Mais ce fut celle de ses pires cauchemars.
Lorsqu'Alice apprend que Nina, qui vivait dans la maison avant qu'ils n'emménagent, y a été sauvagement assassinée, le vague sentiment d'insécurité qu'elle ressentait jusqu'alors se transforme en peur, puis en terreur. Une présence étrange semble hanter les murs et ni Léo, qui semble lui cacher beaucoup de choses, ni les voisins, qui consacrent le plus clair de leur temps à s'épier les uns les autres, ne la rassurent.
Et puis l'on passe bien trop facilement d'une maison à l'autre, à l'intérieur du Cercle, pour pouvoir y dormir en paix.

‘If you love The Girl on the Train read Behind Closed Doors’ Elle
‘Twists our expectations of the entire psychological thriller genre’ Guardian
Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth, she has charm and elegance. You might not want to like them, but you do.
You’d like to get to know Grace better.
But it’s difficult, because you realise Jack and Grace are never apart.
Some might call this true love. Others might ask why Grace never answers the phone. Or how she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. And why there are bars on one of the bedroom windows.
Sometimes, the perfect marriage is the perfect lie.

Cassandra ne s'est pas arrêtée pour proposer son aide à la conductrice de la voiture immobilisée sur le bord de la chaussée, en plein orage.
Lorsqu'elle apprend le lendemain que la femme a été retrouvée sauvagement assassinée, Cass est assaillie par la culpabilité. Et les coups de fil anonymes qu'elle reçoit désormais chez elle ravivent son angoisse. Elle en est persuadée : quelqu'un l'a vue, ce soir-là. Quelqu'un qui continue de l'observer. Quelqu'un qui pourrait bien être l'assassin.
Pourtant ni son mari, ni sa meilleure amie ne prennent ses craintes au sérieux. Et alors que Cass elle-même commence à douter face à ses trous de mémoire de plus en plus fréquents, ses angoisses se transforment en terreur.

Dopo La coppia perfetta,
il nuovo thriller di un’autrice tradotta in 35 paesi
A chi puoi credere, se non puoi fidarti
neanche di te stessa?
A chiunque ogni tanto capita di non ricordare dove siano le chiavi di casa o dove ha parcheggiato la macchina, o magari di dimenticare un appuntamento con un’amica. Chiunque non farebbe caso a simili sciocchezze. Per Cass Anderson, invece, è diverso. Ogni minimo deragliamento della memoria potrebbe essere un sintomo preciso: demenza precoce, la malattia che ha colpito la madre diversi anni prima. Ecco perché, adesso, Cass sta vivendo un incubo. Una sera di pioggia, tornando a casa, ha superato un’auto ferma sul ciglio della strada. All’interno c’era una donna, ma lei non si è fermata ad aiutarla. Poi la mattina seguente ha scoperto dai telegiornali che quella donna è stata assassinata. Esattamente dove lei l’aveva incrociata. E, subito, ai sensi di colpa si aggiunge l’angoscia di aver visto qualcosa che non avrebbe dovuto vedere. Come spiegare le telefonate mute che ha cominciato a ricevere proprio da quella mattina, se non come una velata minaccia? E perché anche quando è in casa ha così spesso la sensazione di essere osservata? Cass è terrorizzata perché non ricorda nessun dettaglio significativo riguardo quella sera. Purtroppo, però, da qualche giorno non si ricorda nemmeno come funziona la lavatrice, se ha preso o no le sue pillole, se uno dei coltelli in cucina avesse una strana macchia sulla lama, come di sangue… L’unico che potrebbe aiutarla a non impazzire e a capire cosa stia succedendo è suo marito, Matthew, che però le appare ogni giorno più distante e distaccato, quasi fosse il primo a essere certo che non ci sia niente da fare, che la malattia sta prendendo il sopravvento. E anche Cass ormai se ne sta convincendo. Un pomeriggio, però, proprio nel garage di casa fa una scoperta che cambia tutto…

Jack e Grace sono la coppia perfetta... o la bugia perfetta?
Chiunque avesse l’occasione di conoscere Jack e Grace Angel penserebbe che sono la coppia perfetta. Lui un avvocato di successo, affascinante, spiritoso. Lei una donna elegante e una padrona di casa impeccabile. Chiunque allora vorrebbe conoscere meglio Grace, diventare sua amica, scoprendo però che è quasi impossibile anche solo prendere un caffè con lei: non ha un cellulare né un indirizzo email, e comunque non esce mai senza Jack al proprio fianco. Chiunque penserebbe che in fondo è il classico comportamento degli sposi novelli, che non vogliono passare nemmeno un minuto separati. Eppure, alla fine, qualcuno potrebbe sospettare che ci sia qualcosa di strano nel rapporto fra Grace e Jack. E chiedersi per esempio perché, subito dopo il matrimonio, Grace ha lasciato un ottimo lavoro sebbene ancora non abbia figli, perché non risponde mai nemmeno al telefono di casa, perché ci sono delle sbarre alle finestre della camera da letto. E a quel qualcuno potrebbe venire il dubbio che, forse, la coppia perfetta in realtà è la bugia perfetta...
Con oltre 600.000 copie vendute in soli cinque mesi dall’uscita in libreria, La coppia perfetta è uno degli esordi più travolgenti dell'anno in Inghilterra. Grazie al ritmo serrato e alla straordinaria efficacia nello svelare i segreti oscuri di un matrimonio, ha entusiasmato sia i lettori sia gli editori di tutto il mondo, che si sono contesi i diritti di pubblicazione in aste agguerrite. Attualmente è in corso di traduzione in 30 Paesi.
