A víz mélyén

release date: May 18, 2017
A víz mélyén
A várost átszelő folyóból holtan húznak ki egy fiatal nőt. Néhány hónappal korábban egy sérülékeny tinédzser lány végezte ugyanott, ugyanígy. Előttük évszázadokon át asszonyok és lányok hosszú sora lelte halálát a sötét vízben, így a két friss tragédia régen eltemetett titkokat bolygat meg - és hoz felszínre. Az utolsó áldozat árván maradt, tizenöt éves lányának szembe kell néznie azzal, hogy félelmetes nagynénje lett a gondviselője, aki most kényszeredetten tér vissza oda, ahonnan annak idején elmenekült, és ahová szíve szerint soha nem tette volna be újra a lábát. A folyóparti ház eresztékei éjjelente hangosabban nyikorognak, a fal tövében susogó víz kísérteties neszekkel tölti meg az egyébként zavartalan csendet. A lány a vonaton című regényhez hasonlóan PAULA HAWKINS újabb története is megállíthatatlanul sodorja az olvasót a végkifejlet felé, bizonyítva, hogy az írónő nagy ismerője a női léleknek és az emberi ösztönöknek. A lány a vonaton az elmúlt évek legnagyobb sikere volt a magyar és a nemzetközi könyvpiacon. A szerző második thrillerére két évet kellett várni. De - ahogy az első olvasók egybehangzóan állítják - megérte.
