the addictive new thriller from the author of The Girl Before

My Darling Daughter

This instant New York Times bestseller, in the tradition of The Girl on the Train, The Silent Wife and Gone Girl, is an enthralling psychological thriller that spins one woman's seemingly good fortune and another woman's mysterious fate through a kaleidoscope of duplicity, death and deception. Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life. The request seems odd, even intrusive--and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating. EMMA Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant--and it does. JANE After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street she is instantly drawn to the space--and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home's previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people and experiences the same terror, as the girl before.

Aber geboren wurde ich als Sky und ich glaube, dass du meine leibliche Mutter bist.“ Diese Nachricht trifft Susie wie ein Schlag in die Magengrube.

Als Anna dann über ihre strengen Adoptiveltern berichtet, ist Susie überzeugt, dass das Mädchen Hilfe braucht. In der Hoffnung, ihren Fehler aus der Vergangenheit wieder gutzumachen, nimmt sie Anna bei sich auf. Doch das Mädchen verhält sich seltsam und verstrickt sich mehr und mehr in Lügen. Eine nur verständliche Reaktion auf die traumatischen Zustände in ihrer Adoptivfamilie? Oder steckt mehr dahinter? Was sind die wirklichen Gründe für die Adoption vor 15 Jahren? Und wer hütet hier welches Geheimnis? »Spannend vom Anfang bis zum Ende – ich konnte die Seiten nicht schnell genug umblättern!« Claire Douglas

Die Fremde in meinem Haus

Con quest'uomo ci andrei a letto. Gli ho detto poco più che buongiorno, eppure la parte più segreta di me, quella che sfugge al mio controllo, ha già espresso il suo giudizio. Lui mi tiene aperta la porta della sala riunioni e persino questo piccolo gesto di cortesia mi sembra carico di significato. Non posso credere di essere a un passo, un solo piccolo passo, dall'aggiudicarmi la casa che lui, Edward Monkford - un innovatore, un architetto riservato e profondo -, ha progettato e realizzato in Folgate Street, civico 1, Londra. Una casa straordinaria. Un edificio che coniuga l'avanguardia europea ad antichi rituali giapponesi. Design minimalista di pietra chiara, lastre di vetro insonorizzate e sensibili alla luce, soffitti immensi. Nessun soprammobile, niente armadi, niente cornici alle finestre, nessun interruttore, nessuna presa elettrica. Un gioiello della domotica, dove tutta la tecnologia è nascosta. Una casa che però ha le sue regole, il Regolamento come lo chiamo: se diventerà mia non dovrò soltanto rinunciare a tappeti, fotografie alle pareti, piante ornamentali, animali domestici o feste con gli amici, ma dovrò plasmare il mio carattere, accettare una concezione della vita in cui il meno è il più, in cui l'austerità e l'ordine sono la purezza, e la sobrietà la ricompensa. Perché lui vuole così, perché lui è così. Ha voluto sapere tutto di me, mi ha chiesto un elenco di tutte le cose che considero essenziali per la mia vita. Dicono che quest'uomo, dai capelli di un biondo indefinito e dall'aspetto poco appariscente, con gli occhi di un azzurro chiaro e luminoso, sia un architetto eccezionale perché non cede a nessuna tentazione. Tuttavia, la casa è già stata abitata, una volta. Da una ragazza della mia stessa età, quasi una mia gemella, mi hanno detto. Anche lei, come me, non insensibile al fascino di quest'uomo. Una ragazza che tre anni fa è morta. In questa casa.
