Spidery creatures straight out of nightmares infest the city, hunting the few humans still left. The desperate survivors have banded together, and realise their only hope is to flee the city.

Life was good for Matt and Chloe. They were in love and looking forward to their new baby. But what Chloe gave birth to isn''t a baby. It isn''t even human.

Women all over town have begun to give birth to these hideous creatures, spidery nightmares that live to kill and feed.

Anna was once the life and soul of the party - until a terrible night unravelled everything - a night she can''t remember, but can''t forget either... Moving with her family back to where Grandma grew up, Anna becomes obsessed with two murders that took place in the town - three years apart, with the third anniversary looming... The town of Harper''s Creek suffers through a drought - people talk, people pray, and people wait. As Anna''s trauma deepens, and Grandma''s Alzheimer''s worsens - they share a bond made of missing memories. They say both are, in their own ways, mad. But when Grandma speaks, Anna listens, and she understands - but above all she fears that the girls are in there, and they''re trying to tell her something...

Award-winning author of New York Times bestselling breakout novel (and hit Netflix show) Behind Her Eyes returns with a haunting Gothic novel about a house—and a marriage—gone terribly wrong. After an accident that nearly kills her, Emily and her husband, Freddie, move from London to a beautiful Dartmoor country house called Larkin Lodge. The house is gorgeous, striking—and to Emily, something about it feels deeply wrong. Old boards creak at night, fires go out, and books fall from the shelves, and all of it stems from the terrible presence she feels in the third-floor room. But these things happen only when Emily’s alone, so are they happening at all? She’s still medically fragile; her postsepsis condition can cause hallucinatory side effects, which means she can’t fully trust her own senses. Freddie doesn’t notice anything odd and is happy with their chance at a fresh start. Emily, however, starts to believe that the house is being haunted by someone who was murdered in it, though she can find no evidence of a wrongful death. As bizarre events pile up and her marriage starts to crumble, Emily becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about Larkin Lodge. But if the house has secrets, so do Emily and her husband. And they live here now.

A Ne higgy a szemének! szerzőjétől „Piszkosul briliáns.” – Stephen King „Valódi hullámvasút.” – Lucy Foley Az éjszaka csendjében ...ott lapul az őrület. Emma képtelen elaludni. Nézd meg, be van-e zárva az ablak Azóta tart, amióta közeledni kezdett a negyvenedik születésnapja. Nézd meg, be van-e zárva az ajtó Az anyja is ugyanígy volt ezzel a negyvenedik születésnapja előtti héten. Az anyja bele is őrült, és elkövette, amire gondolni sem szabad. Nézz be a gyerekekhez Vajon Emmával is megismétlődik az egész? Miért nem tud aludni? „Ha tetszett a Ne higgy a szemének, készülj arra, hogy az Inszomnia végképp egészen elképesztő lesz. Sarah Pinborough egy kificamodott képzeletű zseni.” – Lisa Jewell „Pinborough regénye olyan, mintha párját ritkító álmot látnánk egy párját ritkító rémálomról. Imádtam!” – Richard Osman „A lehetetlen királynője... Ez a hideglelős thriller egész éjszaka ébren tartja az olvasót.” – Clare MacIntosh „Hátborzongató, ahogy apránként a szemünk elé tárul minden - mesterkurzus a valóságérzékelés elvesztéséről.” – Ian Rankin „Az Inszomnia egy beteg, sötét utazás, ami torkon ragadja az embert, és nem hagyja, hogy elfordítsa a tekintetét. Letehetetlen és nagyon-nagyon ajánlott.” – Lucy Clarke „Sötét, feszült, magával ragadó atmoszféra, amely garantálja a Pinborough védjegyévé vált titokzatosságot és lúdbőrözést. Ne kezdjék este olvasni, mert biztos, hogy szemhunyásnyit sem fognak aludni.” – Cara Hunter „Őrült, álmatlan utazás egy borzalmasan feszült végkifejletig. Mesteri kivitelezés - Sarah Pinborough a felkavaró, nyakatekert történetek királynője.” – Harriet Tyce „Sarah Pinborough a váratlan fordulatok mestere, és az Inszomnia nem okoz csalódást. Ellenállhatatlanul olvastatja magát ez a rémisztő történet a veszélyről, amely belülről leselkedik egy családra.” – Gilly Macmillan „Egészen ragyogó, teljességgel letehetetlen, minden igényt kielégítő - Pinborough mindig csak egyre jobb lesz.” – Jenny Colgan „Furmányosan okos olvasnivaló.” – Jane Shemilt „Lebilincselő és ijesztő, éppen csak egy leheletnyi természetfeletti adalékkal.” – Catherine Cooper „Semmiképp nem szabad kihagyni.” – Joe Hill „Remekül megírt, eszméletlenül agyas regény.” – C.M. Ewan „Lenyűgözően fordulatos thriller, ami egész éjjel ébren tartja az embert.” – Amarinta Hall

Marcie Maddox ce l''ha messa tutta per arrivare dove si trova: finalmente, dopo anni di relazione clandestina, è la moglie di Jason ed è entrata a far parte di una élite esclusiva. Ma quel mondo conquistato a fatica, fatto di feste, alcol, yacht e case sontuose, quella vita lussuosa a Savannah, in Georgia, che Marcie ama tanto, non è facile da mantenere. Così come non è facile tenere vivo l''interesse di suo marito. Quando il socio di Jason, William, vedovo, rientra dal suo viaggio d''affari a Londra con una nuova moglie, tutti gli amici rimangono esterrefatti: la donna è affascinante, sexy, divertente. E giovanissima. Keisha, la nuova arrivata, ruba rapidamente il ruolo a Marcie, quello di bellissima seconda moglie. E Marcie si accorge subito dell''attrazione nata tra la giovane londinese e suo marito. Quali armi sarà disposta a usare per salvare il suo matrimonio e, soprattutto, quel posto tanto ambito nell''alta società? La vendetta è un piatto che va servito freddo, ma, nell''estate umida di Savannah, il sangue scorre così caldo che potrebbe facilmente ribollire fino a sfociare in una tragedia. Definita da Stephen King «una delle autrici di thriller più brillanti in circolazione», la scrittrice bestseller del Sunday Times Sarah Pinborough ci regala un altro romanzo compulsivo e ricco di colpi di scena che lascerà il lettore senza fiato. Qualcuno ucciderebbe pur di avere la vita di Marcie Maddox. Di cosa è capace lei, per tenersela stretta?

Být ta druhá může být vražedné. Říká se „jednou záletník, vždycky záletník“. Marcie Maddoxová tvrdě pracovala, aby se dostala tam, kde je teď. Po aféře, která proběhla před několika lety, vede úplně jiný život, ale její nový svět – svět venkovských klubů, jacht a okázalých domů v Savannah v Georgii – není jednoduché udržovat bez ohledu na to, jak moc se snaží. Stejně tak jako není snadné udržet si manžela Jasona, který jí k tomu všemu otevřel dveře. Když se Jasonův šéf vrátí z návštěvy Londýna s novou manželkou, mladá paní Radfordová není vyloženě suvenýr, který si ostatní představovali. Keisha je sexy, neskutečně nádherná a černoška… a rychle převezme Marciino místo krásné druhé manželky. A ve chvíli, kdy Marcie zahlédne nezaměnitelné jiskření mezi Keishou a Jasonem, je načase začít jednat. Pomsta se prý nejlépe podává zastudena, ale během rozpáleného léta se v Savannah krev vaří tak, že by snadno mohla někoho smrtelně spálit. Thriller o prohnané druhé manželce, která pro své postavení udělá takřka cokoliv. Pro čtenáře Sedmilhářek od Lianne Moriarty a fanoušky Lisy Jewell. Sarah Pinborough ve své novince opět dokazuje, že je mistryní svého řemesla, tak hlavně #neprozraďteKonec.

Het leven van drie Engelse vrouwen van verschillende leeftijden, die allen een geheim hebben, komt door een plotselinge gebeurtenis op zijn kop te staan.

David y Adele parecen una pareja ideal. Él es un competente psiquiatra y ella la esposa perfecta que le adora. Pero ¿por qué él es tan controlador? Y, ¿qué es lo que oculta ella? A medida que Louise, la nueva secretaria de David, entra en la órbita de la pareja, en vez de hallar respuestas se va encontrando con preguntas cada vez más inquietantes. Lo único que está claro es que en este matrimonio hay algo peligroso. Pero Louise no se imagina hasta qué punto es así, y hasta dónde puede llegar alguien para proteger sus secretos. "Detrás de sus ojos trata sobre el lado negativo del amor. Sobre lo que tiene de adicción y egoísmo. Sobre intentar averiguar cómo son en realidad las personas debajo de la pasión, las palabras, las apariencias y lo «maravilloso». Sobre los secretos que se esconden en el corazón de las relaciones. Y también sobre la fascinación que sienten las mujeres por otras mujeres." Sarah Pinborough

EM LIVRO QUE DEU ORIGEM À NOVA SÉRIE DA NETFLIX, PRODUZIDA PELA EQUIPE DE THE CROWN, UMA MÃE SE ENVOLVE EM UM JOGO PERIGOSO AO TER UM CASO COM O CHEFE ENQUANTO FAZ AMIZADE COM A ENIGMÁTICA ESPOSA DELE. Louise trabalha como secretária e está presa à rotina da vida moderna: ir para o escritório, cuidar da casa, do filho e tentar descansar no tempo livre. Em uma rara saída à noite, ela conhece um homem no bar e se deixa envolver. Embora ele parta logo depois de um beijo, Louise fica muito animada por ter encontrado alguém. Ela só não esperava que seu novo e casadíssimo chefe seria o homem do bar. Ele faz questão de esclarecer que o beijo foi um equívoco, mas em pouco tempo os dois passam a ter um caso. Em uma terrível sequência de erros, Louise acaba se tornando amiga da esposa do amante. E, se você acha que sabe para onde esta história vai, pense de novo, porque Por trás de seus olhos não se parece com nenhum livro que já tenha passado por suas mãos. À medida que é arrastada para a história do casal, Louise acaba com mais perguntas que respostas e a única coisa certa é que algo naquele casamento está muito, muito errado. Em Por trás de seus olhos, best-seller do Sunday Times e do The New York Times, Sarah Pinborough não só reinventa o tradicional triângulo amoroso, como o vira do avesso e de ponta-cabeça, numa trama “com tantos jogos mentais que você vai começar a se perguntar se esse triângulo tem mesmo três lados”, como destaca Josh Malerman, autor de Caixa de pássaros.

Louise is een alleenstaande moeder. Tijdens een zeldzaam avondje uit ontmoet ze een man en valt als een blok voor hem. De maandag erop ontmoet ze haar nieuwe baas, David. De man uit het café, die getrouwd blijkt te zijn, en die zegt een fout te hebben begaan. Dan ontmoet Louise Adele, de vrouw van David. De twee raken bevriend en Louise leert een heel andere kant van David kennen. Er lijkt iets goed mis in hun huwelijk. Louise wil weten wat...

13 minuten van Sarah Pinborough ''Was ze maar doodgegaan.'' Ik was dertien minuten dood. Ik kan me niet meer herinneren hoe ik in het ijskoude water terechtkwam, maar dit weet ik nog wel: het was geen ongeluk en ik was niet suïcidaal. Ze zeggen dat je je vrienden dichtbij moet houden en je vijanden nog dichterbij, maar als je een tiener bent, is het moeilijk om ze uit elkaar te houden. Mijn vrienden houden van me, dat weet ik zeker. Maar dat betekent niet dat ze niet hebben geprobeerd om me te vermoorden. Of wel? 13 minuten is een aangrijpende psychologische thriller over angsten, manipulatie en de kracht van de waarheid. Een verbluffend verhaal dat vraagtekens zet bij wat we echt weten over de mensen die het dichtst bij ons staan. Voor fans van Gossip Girl en Pretty Little Liars. ''Dit boek is een echte pageturner. Het is een mix van Pretty Little Liars en Only Ever Yours. Lezen dus. Je zult niet teleurgesteld worden.'' The Guardian ''De donkere wereld van de middelbare school die in dit boek opgeroepen wordt, met onbeduidend verraad, terloopse wreedheid en giftige vriendschappen, is pijnlijk accuraat.'' The Telegraph ''Een ingewikkeld uitgezet, snel misdaadverhaal. Mean Girls meets De verborgen geschiedenis voor de Instagram-generatie.'' The Times

''Sixteen''s an interesting age: not quite a fully grown man, but not a kid either. Anything is possible when you''re sixteen.'' Finmere Tingewick Smith was abandoned on the steps of the Old Bailey. Under the guardianship of the austere Judge Harlequin Brown and the elderly gentlemen of Orrery House, Fin has grown up under a very strange set of rules. He spends alternate years at two very different schools and now he''s tired of the constant lies to even his best friends, to hide the insanity of his double life. Neither would believe the truth! But on his sixteenth birthday, everything changes. The Judge is killed, stabbed in the chest with a double-edged sword that''s disturbingly familiar, and from that moment on, Fin is catapulted into an extraordinary adventure. Through the Doorway in Fin''s London, a hole in the boundaries of Existence, lies another London -- and now both are in grave danger. For the Knights of Nowhere have kidnapped the Storyholder, the keeper of the Five Eternal Stories which weave the worlds together. Because of the Knights'' actions, a black storm is coming, bringing madness with it. Fin may be just 16, but he has a long, dark journey ahead of him if he is to rescue the Storyholder and save Existence!

It''s Christmas-time, and Finmere Tingewick Smith (Fin to his friends) is back in Orrery House, with Christopher, one of his two best friends. They''re there for the Initiation of the new Knights of Nowhere. The boys have tried to find some normalcy after their recent adventures, but they''re badly missing Joe. He''s stuck in the Nowhere, guarding two of the Five Eternal Stories that weave all the worlds together; they''re held inside his own body. In the Somewhere, Christmas is a time of glad tidings and gifts and goodwill, Christmas trees, carols and the celebration of good things. But there is no Christmas in the Nowhere, and in both worlds, things are not as settled as they look, for Justin Arnold-Mather is getting ready to make his move. In the Nowhere, something is moving through the streets, attacking people - random victims - and leaving them mad and disfigured. And in Orrery House, a tiny crack has appeared in the Prophecy table. The Prophecy is coming alive. The battle lines will be drawn between even the closest of friends, for the fight is on. The Dark King is rising.

In this emotionally gripping, genre-defying novella from Sarah Pinborough, a woman sits at her father''s bedside, watching the clock tick away the last hours of his life. Her brothers and sisters--she is the middle child of five--have all turned up over the past week to pay their last respects. Each is traumatized in his or her own way, and the bonds that unite them to each other are fragile--as fragile perhaps as the old man''s health. With her siblings all gone, back to their self-obsessed lives, she is now alone with the faltering wreck of her father''s cancer-ridden body. It is always at times like this when it--the dark and nameless, the impossible, presence that lingers along the fringes of the dark fields beyond the house--comes calling. As the clock ticks away in the darkness, she can only wait for it to find her, a reunion she both dreads and aches for...
