New Releases by Lisa Jewell

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone Lisa Jewell brings her “thrilling, chilling” (Chris Whitaker) suspense to this shocking new thriller about a lost dog, a missing woman, and a house of long buried secrets. Jane Trevally is walking her dogs on her country estate when a small white terrier appears, alone and with no sign of the teenaged girl he’d been staying with nearby. When the teenager is reported missing, Jane offers to return the dog to his registered owner, hours away in London. Arriving at a run-down house called Thornwood in the deepest backwaters of Hampstead, she is immediately on alert—because Jane has a dark history with this house. The man who answers the door is not the man that Jane remembers from her past. He is cagey, and claims to know nothing about the missing teenage girl. Then, through the window of the house, Jane catches a glimpse of a haunted-looking woman. Conjuring her memories from twenty-five years ago, Jane knows this unsettling house holds the key—to the missing teenager, to her own traumatic story, and to the dark secrets of the past.

Alix Summer e Josie Fair sono nate lo stesso giorno, nella stessa città, addirittura nello stesso ospedale. Sono “gemelle di compleanno”, come si potrebbe definirle, ma le loro esistenze sono tutt’altro che simili. Alix è una famosa podcaster, ha setosi capelli biondi che catturano la luce, abiti costosi e un uomo perfetto al suo fianco. Josie invece è sempre in jeans, ha due figlie quasi adulte e un marito molto più grande di lei. È una fantastica coincidenza che Alix e Josie si siano incontrate la prima volta proprio nel giorno del loro quarantacinquesimo compleanno, e non è l’unica: hanno festeggiato nello stesso pub, alla stessa ora, e i loro figli hanno frequentato le stesse scuole, lo stesso parco giochi. Non serve altro perché Alix proponga a Josie di registrare insieme una puntata del suo podcast: vuole raccontare la vita dell’altra, così straordinaria nella sua ordinarietà. E poi c’è qualcosa di oscuro nel matrimonio di Josie, che stimola la passione giornalistica di Alix e il suo desiderio di aiutare un’altra donna che, così crede, è vittima di un legame tossico. Ma quando Alix comincia a sospettare che il passato di Josie sia ben più violento di quanto lei sia disposta a confessare, tutto precipita. Josie ormai è coinvolta talmente a fondo nella sua vita che per Alix tornare a quando tutto è cominciato non solo è difficile, può essere letale. Con La verità su Josie Fair, Lisa Jewell ci regala un thriller sorprendente, che racconta il lato oscuro di ogni quotidiano in un crescendo di tensione tanto più minaccioso e incalzante quanto più simile alla vita vera. La nostra. «Una donna nata lo stesso giorno e nello stesso posto in cui sono nata io. Come un caso di bambini scambiati, ma al contrario. Noi non siamo state scambiate. Siamo state portate a casa dai genitori giusti. Ma se non fosse andata così?» «Un’idea inquietante, una trama imprevedibile, mille colpi di scena: un romanzo da cui è difficile staccarsi». Kirkus Reviews «Lisa Jewell al suo meglio. La verità su Josie Fair mi ha tenuta sveglia fino a tarda notte, e poi ha infestato i miei sogni». Lucy Foley

Les morts n''ont pas dit leur dernier mot... Des os humains : c''est la macabre découverte que fait l''inspecteur Samuel Owusu sur les berges de la Tamise. Les indices le mènent rapidement à un manoir de Chelsea où, trente ans auparavant, trois cadavres ont été retrouvés, alors qu''un bébé pleurait, abandonné à l''étage. À cette époque-là, Lucy Lamb fuyait Londres après une horrible tragédie. Aujourd''hui, elle croit pouvoir enfin rentrer chez elle, mais c''est compter sans le passé qui revient la hanter. Non loin de là, Rachel Rimmer est sous le choc : son mari, Michael, vient d''être assassiné... Alors que Samuel, Lucy et Rachel s''efforcent de démêler le fil de leurs propres intrigues, ils s''apercevront qu''ils sont tous trois liés d''une manière aussi improbable qu''effrayante. Lisa Jewell nous livre un nouveau suspense psychologique complexe et émouvant sur les affres du mariage, les familles fracturées et les obsessions fatales. « Un rythme effréné, une intrigue intelligente.

Écrit avec beaucoup de justesse, passionnant, authentique. » Gillian McAllister « La perfection faite roman ! » Alice Feeney « Tout simplement magistral !

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the #1 New York Times bestselling author known for her “superb pacing, twisted characters, and captivating prose” (BuzzFeed), Lisa Jewell returns with a scintillating new psychological thriller about a woman who finds herself the subject of her own popular true crime podcast. Celebrating her forty-fifth birthday at her local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summer crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie, it turns out, is also celebrating her forty-fifth birthday. They are, in fact, birthday twins. A few days later, Alix and Josie bump into each other again, this time outside Alix’s children’s school. Josie has been listening to Alix’s podcasts and thinks she might be an interesting subject for her series. She is, she tells Alix, on the cusp of great changes in her life. Josie’s life appears to be strange and complicated, and although Alix finds her unsettling, she can’t quite resist the temptation to keep making the podcast. Slowly she starts to realize that Josie has been hiding some very dark secrets, and before she knows it, Josie has inveigled her way into Alix’s life—and into her home. But, as quickly as she arrived, Josie disappears. Only then does Alix discover that Josie has left a terrible and terrifying legacy in her wake, and that Alix has become the subject of her own true crime podcast, with her life and her family’s lives under mortal threat. Who is Josie Fair? And what has she done?

2017, Upfield Common, Surrey. Il bambino sta cominciando a piangere. Kim ha impiegato ore per farlo addormentare. È una sera afosa di mezza estate e sono le undici. Dovrebbe essere fuori con gli amici. Invece è in tuta con i capelli legati a origliare il pianto del nipote. È diventata madre molto giovane, Kim, ma Tallulah, sua figlia, di anni ne ha appena diciannove e anche lei ha diritto di divertirsi un po’. Perciò quando le ha chiesto di tenere Noah, perché lei e Zach potessero passare un po’ di tempo da soli, non si è sentita di dirle no. I ragazzi, però, non sono ancora tornati e la sera è diventata notte e poi è sbiadita nell’alba. Kim ha un brutto presentimento. Tallulah è sparita, Tallulah non tornerà. 2018: Sophie vuole fare due passi attorno alla scuola di cui il suo fidanzato è stato nominato preside, la Maypole House. Si conoscono da poco, è vero, lei e Shaun, ma ha deciso ugualmente di buttarsi in questa nuova vita con lui nel paesino pittoresco sulle colline del Surrey in cui si sono appena trasferiti. Dovrà riempire le giornate mentre Shaun è in classe ed è decisa a esplorare i dintorni in cerca, perché no, di un’ispirazione per il suo prossimo romanzo. Appena uscita dal cottage, tuttavia, il suo sguardo cade su un pezzo di cartone inchiodato a una staccionata: scavare qui. Un tuffo al cuore e una sensazione di forte déjà-vu: dove ha già visto quella scritta? Una misteriosa sparizione, una grande dimora disabitata, la disperazione di una madre sono al centro del nuovo romanzo di Lisa Jewell, che illumina, sullo sfondo della provincia inglese con i suoi rancori e segreti, l’insondabile mistero dell’adolescenza e al contempo la forza ostinata dei legami familiari. «Nessuno racconta meglio di Lisa Jewell: i suoi sono personaggi autentici, racchiusi in pagine di una suspense pazzesca. La adoro». Lee Child «Avvincente e di grande soddisfazione. Vi commuoverà». The Guardian «Una Jewell al massimo della forma». Publishers Weekly «Un romanzo che intreccia con maestria linee narrative e punti di vista molteplici». marie claire

This “touching, insightful, and gripping story” (Sophie Kinsella, #1 New York Times bestselling author) from the instant New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone follows a young woman searching for answers about her unknown past and the mysterious fire that irrevocably changed her life. When she was a child, Melody Browne’s house burned down, destroying all her family’s possessions and her memories. Ever since this tragic event, Melody Browne has had no recollection of her life before she was rescued from the flames. Now in her early thirties, Melody is a single mother, living in the middle of London with her teenaged son. She hasn’t seen her parents since she left home at fifteen, but Melody has no desire to reconnect until one night, while attending a hypnotist show with a date, she faints. When she comes around, she is suddenly overwhelmed with fragmented memories of her life before that fateful fire. Slowly, she begins the arduous process of piecing together the real story of her childhood. Her journey takes her up and down the countryside, to seaside towns to the back streets of London, where she meets strangers who seem to love her like their own. But the more answers she uncovers, the more questions she is left with, and Melody can’t help but wonder if she’ll ever know the whole truth about her past. “An absolute must-read” (Cosmopolitan, UK), The Truth About Melody Browne “will make you laugh, cry—then tell all your friends about it” (Daily Record).

Psykologinen trilleri pakottavasta tarpeesta tarkkailla. ”Tämä vangitseva, lukutahtia kiihdyttävä romaani on sekä kuristusote kurkulla -trilleri että aidosti koskettava perhedraama.” – A. J.

Rehtorilla puolestaan on oma luvaton ihastuskohteensa, kun taas hänen vakoojaksi aikova poikansa kiikaroi huoneestaan kaikkea mikä liikkuu.

Ellie Mack era fiica perfectă. Avea cincisprezece ani, cea mai mică dintre cei trei copii ai familiei, iubită de părinți, de prieteni și de profesori. Mai avea câteva zile până la vacanța mult așteptată de după examene. Apoi a dispărut. În prezent, mama ei, Laurel Mack, încearcă să-și refacă viața distrusă.

Iar întrebările fără răspuns pe care s-a străduit atât de mult să le uite încep s-o bântuie din nou, precum și unele noi legate de Floyd și Poppy...

Iar acei puțini care, totuși, se vor prinde nu se vor simți frustrați, pentru că ritmul și suspansul îi vor captiva.“ Booklist „Cărțile Lisei Jewell devin din ce în ce mai fascinante și mai complexe.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Family Upstairs and None of This Is True comes an “acutely observed family drama” (People) about the lingering aftermath of a young girl’s disappearance. Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter. She was fifteen, beloved by her parents, friends, and teachers. She and her boyfriend made a teenaged golden couple. She was days away from an idyllic summer vacation, with her whole life ahead of her. And then she was gone. Now, her mother, Laurel Mack, is trying to put her life back together. It’s been ten years since her youngest child disappeared, seven years since her marriage ended, and only months since the last clue in Ellie’s case was unearthed. So when she meets an unexpectedly charming man in a café, no one is more surprised than Laurel at how quickly their flirtation develops into something deeper. Before she knows it, she’s meeting Floyd’s daughters—and his youngest, Poppy, takes Laurel’s breath away. Because looking at Poppy is like looking at Ellie. Laurel is haunted by her long unanswered questions. What happened to Ellie? Did she run away from home, as the police have long suspected? Who is Floyd, really? And why does his daughter remind Laurel so viscerally of her own missing girl?
