L’occasione perfetta sembra arrivare con l’invito per la presentazione alla stampa di un lussuoso hotel svizzero di proprietà dello schivo miliardario Marcus Leidmann. Lo chalet sulle rive del lago di Ginevra è tutto ciò che Lo ha sempre sognato, e spera di riuscire a ottenere un’intervista con Marcus. Purtroppo, lui si rivela ancora più sfuggente di quanto la sua fama lasci intendere. Quando Lo riceve una telefonata a tarda notte che la invita a raggiungere la stanza d’albergo di Marcus, accetta nonostante qualche esitazione. Ma ad accoglierla trova una donna che afferma di essere l’amante di Marcus, e che si trova in pericolo di vita. Quello che segue è un emozionante gioco del gatto col topo attraverso l’Europa, che costringerà Lo a chiedersi fino a che punto sia disposta a spingersi per salvare questa donna... e se possa davvero fidarsi di lei.

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER In this follow-up to #1 New York Times bestselling author Ruth Ware’s multi-million copy mega-hit The Woman in Cabin 10, Lo Blacklock returns to attend the opening of a luxury hotel, only to find herself in a white-knuckled race across Europe. When the invitation to attend the press opening of a luxury Swiss hotel—owned by reclusive billionaire Marcus Leidmann—arrives, it’s like the answer to a prayer. Three years after the birth of her youngest child, Lo Blacklock is ready to reestablish her journalism career, but post-pandemic travel journalism is a very different landscape from the one she left ten years ago. The chateau on the shores of Lake Geneva is everything Lo’s ever dreamed of, and she hopes she can snag an interview with Marcus. Unfortunately, he proves to be even more difficult to pin down than his reputation suggests. When Lo gets a late-night call asking her to come to Marcus’s hotel room, she agrees despite her own misgivings. She’s greeted, however, by a woman claiming to be Marcus’s mistress, and in life-or-death jeopardy. What follows is a thrilling cat-and-mouse pursuit across Europe, forcing Lo to ask herself just how much she’s willing to sacrifice to save this woman…and if she can even trust her?

Harkening to Agatha Christie’s classic And Then There Were None, this high-tension thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among them—from Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who “is turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime” (The Washington Post). Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she’s pretty sure they won’t extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren’t going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple, she agrees to try out with him. A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla finds herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couples—Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana—in order to win a cash prize. But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real—and the stakes are life or death.

“An excellent mystery/suspense novel that will remind you of Dame Agatha at her best.” —Stephen King This instant New York Times bestseller and “claustrophobic spine-tingler” (People) from Ruth Ware follows a group of employees trapped on a snow-covered mountain. Getting snowed in at a luxurious, rustic ski chalet high in the French Alps doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world. Especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a full-service chef and housekeeper, a cozy fire to keep you warm, and others to keep you company. Unless that company happens to be eight coworkers…each with something to gain, something to lose, and something to hide. When the cofounder of Snoop, a trendy London-based tech start-up, organizes a weeklong trip for the team in the French Alps, it starts out as a corporate retreat like any other: presentations and strategy sessions broken up by mandatory bonding on the slopes. But as soon as one shareholder upends the agenda by pushing a lucrative but contentious buyout offer, tensions simmer and loyalties are tested. The storm brewing inside the chalet is no match for the one outside, however, and a devastating avalanche leaves the group cut off from all access to the outside world. Even worse, one Snooper hadn’t made it back from the slopes when the avalanche hit. As each hour passes without any sign of rescue, panic mounts, the chalet grows colder, and the group dwindles further…one by one.

It wasn’t just the children, who turned out to be a far cry from the immaculately behaved model children she met at her interview. It wasn’t even the way she was left alone for weeks at a time, with no adults around apart from the enigmatic handyman, Jack Grant. It was everything. Rowan knows she’s made mistakes. She admits that she lied to obtain the post, and that her behavior toward the children wasn’t always ideal. She’s not innocent, by any means.

Tras el desbordante éxito de La mujer del camarote 10 , Ruth Ware vuelve con un thriller psicológico sobre el complejo mundo de la amistad femenina, la fuerza destructora de las palabras dichas y no dichas, y la imposibilidad de eludir nuestros compromisos. Cuando Isa recibe un mensaje en plena madrugada que dice «os necesito», comprende enseguida que el pasado ha vuelto para ajustar cuentas. Pese a que ha hecho lo indecible por olvidar aquel episodio oscuro que marcó su adolescencia, su fidelidad a Kate se antepone a todos sus temores. Así que no duda un instante en tomar el primer tren desde Londres hasta el pueblo costero de Salten, donde la marea baja acaba de dejar al descubierto los restos de un cadáver. Al mismo lugar acudirán Fatima y Thea, las otras dos chicas de aquel cuarteto tan especial que en el internado formaban una piña, una unión que culminó en una promesa solemne. Aficionadas al peligroso juego de las mentiras y a saltarse las normas del colegio, sus caminos se separaron de forma abrupta y dramática. Ahora, este reencuentro súbito las obliga a revisar sus recuerdos y a compartir sus secretos sobre el episodio que cambió sus vidas, aunque con ello afloren unas cuantas verdades para las que quizá no estén preparadas. La crítica ha dicho... «Un thriller estremecedor y muy inteligente. Una lectura conmovedora.» The Sunday Mirror «Espeluznante, cautivador e ingenioso.» Daily Express «Atrapa desde la primera página.» Stylist «Tenso y provocador.» The Independent «Intensamente claustrofóbico.» The Sunday Times «Quien se siente a leer este libro hará bien en cancelar todos los planes previstos para el fin de semana, porque no querrá levantarse del asiento.» Kirkus Review «Adictivo, absorbente y muy inquietante, Juego de mentiras es de lectura obligada para los amantes del thriller psicológico.» Crime by the Book

Embora tenha saído praticamente ilesa da ocorrência, ela agora tem dificuldades para dormir e vive à base de ansiolíticos.

From the New York Times and #1 Globe and Mail bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10 and In a Dark, Dark Wood—a novel about the slipperiness of truth and the price of friendships. “I need you.” Three small words that change everything. Isa Wilde knows something terrible has happened when she receives this text from an old friend. Why else would Kate summon her and their two friends Thea and Fatima to the seaside town where they briefly attended school together seventeen years ago?

Forever bound by their lies but needing to forget their past, they went their separate ways—Kate remaining in Salten while the other three left to start new lives in and around London. Now reunited, Isa, Kate, Thea, and Fatima discover that their past lies had far-reaching effects and criminal implications that threaten them all. In order to protect their reputations, and their friendship, they must uncover the truth about what really happened all those years ago.

El thriller que inspiró la película que arrasa en Netflix. Has sido testigo de un asesinato... y nadie te cree. La invitación a un crucero de lujo, que zarpa de Londres rumbo a los fiordos noruegos, es como un sueño hecho realidad para Laura Blacklock, una joven periodista en horas bajas. Los primeros compases de la travesía discurren conforme a lo previsto: el ambiente del barco es suntuoso, el servicio, de primera categoría, y el pasaje derrocha elegancia, simpatía y dinero. Sin embargo, todo cambia cuando, una noche, un grito aterrador despierta a Laura, quien, estupefacta, observa cómo el cuerpo de una mujer cae al mar desde el compartimento contiguo. Al dar la voz de alarma, la tripulación le asegura que el camarote número 10 siempre ha estado vacío y que no falta ningún pasajero a bordo. Así, con creciente inquietud, Laura comprueba que... nadie le cree. Y lo peor no es que se sienta sola y aislada, sino que una serie de extraños acontecimientos la convencen de que ella puede ser la próxima víctima. La crítica ha dicho... «Un thriller con mucho estilo, una heroína tan imperfecta como encantadora, y un ritmo narrativo trepidante.» Sunday Mirror «Un misterio tenso y envolvente. [...] Los personajes y sus conversaciones, así como el espacio lujoso y cerrado, recuerdan a los misterios clásicos de Agatha Christie.» Kirkus Reviews «Un thriller de alta tensión que te deja sin aliento.» Closer «Una trama que funciona como un reloj y una prosa afilada.» Sunday Express «Una fantástica versión de la mujer enapuros, con una protagonista valiente y un escenario agobiante.» Sunday Times «Una lectura entretenidísima.

Coleção Luz Negra. A revelação do novo suspense. O inesperado convite para a despedida de solteira de Clare, uma amiga de colégio de quem se distanciou na adolescência, deixa intrigada a jovem escritora de histórias de suspense Nora Shaw. Ao aceitar participar do encontro de fim de semana, numa casa de campo isolada, a retraída Nora é confrontada pelas recordações da época em que convivia com a exuberante Clare, a menina mais popular da escola, que a protegeu e apoiou durante o tempo em que estudaram juntas. No entanto, um episódio nebuloso afastou Nora de todos os colegas e amigos da adolescência, exceto Nina de Souza, outra convidada. O cenário desolador onde se encontram participantes da festa sem alegria torna-se opressor a partir de diversos pequenos acontecimentos que incomodam a protagonista – talvez mais do que às outras personagens. Um desses choques é o anúncio de que Clare vai se casar com James, o primeiro namorado de Nora. Esta jamais esqueceu James, mesmo depois do rompimento, quando se mudou da cidade onde todos moravam. Situações que permaneceram abafadas pela conveniência são reveladas a cada instante, na medida em que um crime for desvendado, colocando em dúvida qualquer certeza sobre decisões tomadas ou a fidelidade das amizades de infância. A sensação claustrofóbica experimentada pelos personagens também sufoca o leitor, que percebe, a cada página, o quanto a verdade se esconde sob aparência de cordialidade e gentileza. Os temores de cada convidado, suas frustrações e suas ligações uns com os outros são peças de um mosaico cuidadosamente montado por Ruth Ware, que cria uma atmosfera inquietante neste thriller que lhe rendeu comparações com os principais nomes do novo suspense feminino, como Paula Hawkins e Gillian Flynn, e conquistou a crítica especializada, além da lista dos mais vendidos dos Estados Unidos e da Inglaterra. O título será adaptado para o cinema por Reese Whiterspoon.
