New Releases by Lisa Jewell

Saffyre Maddox, diciassette anni, vive in un condominio di Alfred Road, a Londra. È di fatto sola al mondo. Tutti quelli che ha amato l’hanno abbandonata, più o meno volontariamente. Saffyre è bella, e sa di esserlo dal modo in cui gli altri la guardano. Ma non se ne cura. La bellezza non le rende certo lieve la vita. Roan Fours, il dottore da cui è in cura da tre anni, è l’unica persona che le permette di affrontare in qualche modo il male di vivere, ma anche lui la ha abbandonata. La terapia è tecnicamente finita, le ha detto. Ma per Saffyre è la sua vita che è tecnicamente finita senza il dottore. Per questo si apposta fuori dal suo studio, lo segue da lontano, gira attorno a casa sua quando fa buio, e apprende più di quanto sia lecito sapere. Anche l’esistenza di Owen Pick è una catastrofe, soprattutto da quando lo hanno sospeso dall’insegnamento perché accusato da alcune studentesse di condotta impropria. Proprio lui che, nel quartiere benestante di Hampstead, se ne sta sempre solo nella grande casa vuota di sua zia. Lui che a trentatré anni ancora aspetta la donna con la quale perdere la verginità. Come difendersi da quelle accuse? Cercare nella rete in cui c’è un intero mondo di gente come lui, gli incel, i celibi involontari? E chattare magari con YourLoss, che, stando a quello che scrive, potrebbe davvero diventare suo amico? A Hampstead vivono la loro inquieta esistenza anche i Fours. Cate Fours, che è a metà della vita, non è più sicura di niente, nemmeno del suo matrimonio. Roan si occupa dei figli degli altri e la cura della famiglia grava soltanto sulle sue spalle. Una sera Georgia, la figlia adolescente, le dice che il vicino l’ha seguita dalla metropolitana fino a casa. C’è da preoccuparsi, visto che nel quartiere si sono verificate delle aggressioni e l’allarme è ormai diffuso in ogni casa. Un allarme che si muta in vero e proprio panico quando, in una gelida notte di San Valentino, Saffyre Maddox svanisce nel nulla... Adolescenti a rischio, famiglie disfunzionali, misoginia tossica e deep web si intrecciano nel nuovo thriller di Lisa Jewell che, dopo i successi di Ellie all’improvviso e La famiglia del piano di sopra, torna a narrare delle paure del nostro tempo, penetrando nell’anima dei suoi personaggi per metterne a nudo il lato oscuro. «Ho appena finito La ragazza invisibile, ed è stato bellissimo non riuscire a staccarmi neanche per un attimo. Ancora meglio dei suoi precedenti!». Jojo Moyes «Ho adorato La ragazza invisibile! Lisa Jewell è davvero speciale per il modo in cui combina trame trascinanti con la caratterizzazione unica dei suoi personaggi. Soffre insieme a loro e noi arriviamo a conoscerli nel profondo». Lucy Foley «Irresistibile e persino toccante: Lisa Jewell non delude mai». Clare Mackintosh «L’ultimo thriller di Jewell ci fa sperimentare sulla nostra pelle come la nostra visione del mondo e delle persone può renderci ciechi davanti a ciò che accade realmente. Acuto e sorprendente». Usa Today

Tudo na sua vida está prestes a mudar, mas o que ela não sabe é que outras pessoas também estavam aguardando esse dia — e que seu destino está prestes a colidir com o delas.

A família perfeita acompanha a história de uma casa com um passado sinistro, em que o leitor vai em busca da verdade por trás de circunstâncias bizarras que se agravam a cada página.

Sunday Times #1 Bestseller London egyik divatos kerületében, Chelsea-ben áll egy jókora ház, amelyben egy kisbaba ébredezik a bölcsőben. Jól táplált, szépen gondját viselik. Örömmel várja, hogy valaki felvegye. A konyhában holttestek oszlanak. Valaki sietős üzenetet firkantott melléjük. Már több napja halottak. Ki vagy kik viselték gondját a kisbabának? És hová lettek? Két család ügyei gabalyodtak össze. Ebben a házban nagyon sötét titkok lakoznak. Richard & Judy könyvklub Lisa Jewell 1968-ban született, New York Times #1 és Sunday Times #1 bestsellerszerző. Nagy-Britanniában 1999-ben jelent meg első regénye, amely rögtön bestseller lett. (Magyar fordításban: Ralph bulija, 2003.) Azóta írt még másfél tucat könyvet - újabban nyomasztó pszichothrillereket. Könyvei huszonöt nyelven láttak napvilágot. Észak-Londonban él férjével és két tizenéves lányával. Van egy tengerimalacuk, egy cicájuk és egy kutyájuk. „Fordulatos, lebilincselő mese árulásról és megváltásról.” - Ian Rankin „Dús, sötét, fordulatos krimi, hidegrázós módon keveredik benne a családregény és a családi dráma.” - Ruth Ware „Lisa Jewell könyveit nem olvassa az ember, hanem fejest ugrik beléjük. Hatalmas tehetség kell hozzá, hogy teljes világot alkosson az író két oldalon.” - Erin Kelly „Esküszöm, levegőt sem vettem, amíg elolvastam. Izgalmas, sodró, elképesztően fordulatos.” - Clare Mackintosh „Hátborzongató, bonyolult, teljesen beszippantó könyv: kiváló olvasmány a szabadságod alatt.” - Guardian „Egyszerűen zseniális. Remek karakterek, elképesztően sötét helyzet, szuper befejezés. Lisa Jewell mindig remek, de ez még annál is jobb.” - Sarah Pinborough „A pszichológiai krimik szerzői közül kevesen alkotnak ilyen gyorsan, tekervényesen bonyolódó történetet; még kevesebben töltik meg ennyire emberi és komplex személyiségekkel. Lisa Jewell regénye, A fenti lakók, úgy csillog, mint egy penge, és olyan mélyre is hatol.” - AJ Finn „Ha egy Lisa Jewell-könyvet veszek a kezembe, tudom, hogy lenyűgöző, magába szippantó és letehetetlen olvasnivaló vár rám, és A fenti lakók még közülük is kiemelkedik” - CL Taylor „Reménykedtem, hogy nem kezdek bele A fenti lakókba a nyaralás előtt, de tévedtem... az első oldaltól kezdve magával ragadott.” - Alice Feeney „Lenyűgöző. Elbűvölően sötét és csavaros, a szereplők rögtön beköltöznek a fejedbe. Lisa Jewell egyre jobb és jobb.” - Jane Corry „Egyszerűen rohadt zseniális, és annyira boldog lennék, ha én írtam volna.” - Tammy Cohen Olvasói vélemények: „Olyan sok krimit olvasok, hogy egyre nehezebb kiemelkedőt találni köztük. Most sikerült! Nem tudtam letenni!” „Egyszerűen imádtam ezt a könyvet. Minden Lisa Jewell-könyv szuper, de ez még annál is jobb.” „Teljesen rabul ejtett... nagyon élveztem.” „Az első oldaltól beszippantott... Érdemes elolvasni - ha nem félsz, hogy egész éjjel olvasni fogsz.” „Micsoda könyv! Az nem szó rá, hogy ötletes. És azok az utolsó oldalak, még mindig ráz tőlük a hideg. A sztori izgalmas, a stílus fantasztikus. Nem bírtam letenni!”

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True comes “her best thriller yet” (Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling author) about a young couple’s disappearance on a gorgeous summer night, and the mother who will never give up trying to find them. On a beautiful summer night in a charming English suburb, a young woman and her boyfriend disappear after partying at the massive country estate of a new college friend. One year later, a writer moves into a cottage on the edge of the woods that border the same estate. Known locally as the Dark Place, the dense forest is the writer’s favorite place for long walks and it’s on one such walk that she stumbles upon a mysterious note that simply reads, “DIG HERE.” Could this be a clue towards what has happened to the missing young couple? And what exactly is buried in this haunted ground? “Utterly gripping with richly drawn, hugely compelling characters, this is a first-class thriller with heart” (Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author) that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Psykologinen trilleri pakottavasta tarpeesta tarkkailla. ”Tämä vangitseva, lukutahtia kiihdyttävä romaani on sekä kuristusote kurkulla -trilleri että aidosti koskettava perhedraama.” – A. J. Finn Idyllinen naapurusto järkkyy kun tapahtuu murha. Hyväosaisten yhteisössä jokaisella on salaisuutensa, mutta kenen salaisuus on kyllin hirveä johtaakseen murhaan? Bristoliin miehensä kanssa muuttanut Joey hullaantuu naapuriin, charmikkaaseen rehtoriin, ja alkaa pitää tätä silmällä. Rehtorilla puolestaan on oma luvaton ihastuskohteensa, kun taas hänen vakoojaksi aikova poikansa kiikaroi huoneestaan kaikkea mikä liikkuu. Näkökulmat vaihtuvat ja ihmissuhteet syvenevät kihelmöiväksi psykologiseksi draamaksi. Kuka on uhri, kuka syyllinen? Arvailu saa jatkua villinä viimeiselle sivulle saakka. Brittikirjailija Lisa Jewell (s. 1968) on kansainvälinen menestyskirjailija, jonka teoksia on käännetty kymmenille kielille ja myyty lähes viisi miljoonaa kappaletta yksinomaan englanninkielisessä maailmassa. Jewell on samastuttavien henkilöiden, mutkikkaiden juonikuvioiden ja uhan tunteen luomisessa aivan omaa luokkaansa. Hänen ensimmäinen psykologinen jännitysromaaninsa Sitten hän oli poissa meni suoraan Englannin listaykköseksi. Löysin sinut addiktoi lukijoita henkilövetoisine yllätyskäänteineen. Joka askel jonka otat on Jewellin 16. teos. Sitä on verrattu Gillian Flynnin Kilttiin tyttöön, ja siitä on sanottu: ”jos pidit Nainen ikkunassa ja Nainen junassa -trillereistä, tämä on kirjoitettu juuri sinulle!” (U magazine). Myös viihdekirjoistaan tunnettu Jewell on julkaissut jo parikymmentä romaania. Hän asuu Lontoossa miehensä ja kahden tyttärensä kanssa.

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. Au trecut zece ani de când i-a dispărut fiica, șapte ani de când căsnicia ei s-a destrămat și doar câteva luni de când au ieșit la suprafață ultimele indicii în cazul dispariției lui Ellie. Așadar, când întâlnește un bărbat neașteptat de fermecător într-o cafenea, este surprinsă de cât de repede flirtul lor se transformă în ceva mai profund. Face cunoștință cu fiicele lui Floyd, iar cea mai mică dintre ele, Poppy, îi taie respirația. Privind-o, e ca și cum ai privi-o pe Ellie. 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... O viață regăsită evoluează de la roman de familie spre o poveste de dragoste matură, iar de aici, coboară în tenebrele unui thriller plin de tensiune, care înspăimântă și captivează. „Lisa Jewell își țese intriga complicată într-un ritm care ține cititorul în permanentă tensiune. Personajele complexe ale autoarei sunt pur și simplu perfecte. Nici cel mai abil cititor de thrillere nu va ghici încotro se îndreaptă lucrurile înainte ca firele să se descurce la final. 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. Extrem de captivant și cu un ritm alert, bine scris și cu un final șocant care îi provoacă pe cititori să-l ghicească, O viață regăsită este thrillerul perfect. Fanii lui Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins și Ruth Ware vor adora cu siguranță acest roman memorabil.“ Shelf Awareness

The author of the “rich, dark, and intricately twisted” (Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author) The Family Upstairs returns with another taut and white-knuckled thriller following a group of people whose lives shockingly intersect when a young woman disappears. Owen Pick’s life is falling apart. In his thirties, a virgin, and living in his aunt’s spare bedroom, he has just been suspended from his job as a geography teacher after accusations of sexual misconduct, which he strongly denies. Searching for professional advice online, he is inadvertently sucked into the dark world of incel—involuntary celibate—forums, where he meets the charismatic, mysterious, and sinister Bryn. Across the street from Owen lives the Fours family, headed by mom Cate, a physiotherapist, and dad Roan, a child psychologist. But the Fours family have a bad feeling about their neighbor Owen. He’s a bit creepy and their teenaged daughter swears he followed her home from the train station one night. Meanwhile, young Saffyre Maddox spent three years as a patient of Roan Fours. Feeling abandoned when their therapy ends, she searches for other ways to maintain her connection with him, following him in the shadows and learning more than she wanted to know about Roan and his family. Then, on Valentine’s night, Saffyre Maddox disappears—and the last person to see her alive is Owen Pick. With evocative, vivid, and unputdownable prose and plenty of disturbing twists and turns, Jewell’s latest thriller is another “haunting, atmospheric, stay-up-way-too-late read” (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author).

Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England; home to doctors and lawyers and old-money academics. It’s not the sort of place where people are brutally murdered in their own kitchens. But it is the sort of place where everyone has a secret. And everyone is watching you. As the headmaster credited with turning around the local school, Tom Fitzwilliam is beloved by one and all—including Joey Mullen, his new neighbor, who quickly develops an intense infatuation with this thoroughly charming yet unavailable man. Joey thinks her crush is a secret, but Tom’s teenaged son Freddie—a prodigy with aspirations of becoming a spy for MI5—excels in observing people and has witnessed Joey behaving strangely around his father. One of Tom’s students, Jenna Tripp, also lives on the same street, and she’s not convinced her teacher is as squeaky clean as he seems. For one thing, he has taken a particular liking to her best friend and fellow classmate, and Jenna’s mother—whose mental health has admittedly been deteriorating in recent years—is convinced that Mr. Fitzwilliam is stalking her. Meanwhile, twenty years earlier, a schoolgirl writes in her diary, charting her doomed obsession with a handsome young English teacher named Mr. Fitzwilliam… In Lisa Jewell’s latest brilliant “bone-chilling suspense” (People) no one is who they seem—and everyone is hiding something. Who has been murdered—and who would have wanted one of their neighbors dead? As “Jewell teases out her twisty plot at just the right pace” (Booklist, starred review), you will be kept guessing until the startling revelation on the very last page.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the New York Times bestselling author of Invisible Girl and None of This Is True comes a “riveting” (PopSugar) and “acutely observed family drama” (People) that delves into the lingering aftermath of a young girl’s disappearance. Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter. She was fifteen, the youngest of three. Beloved by her parents, friends, and teachers, and half of a teenaged golden couple. Ellie was days away from an idyllic post-exams 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 daughter 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. And now, the unanswered questions she’s tried so hard to put to rest begin to haunt Laurel anew. Where did Ellie go? Did she really run away from home, as the police have long suspected, or was there a more sinister reason for her disappearance? Who is Floyd, really? And why does his daughter remind Laurel so viscerally of her own missing girl?

Lisa Jewell är tillbaka med en pulshöjande bladvändare om hemligheter och minnesförlust!I East Yorkshire hittar den ensamstående mamman Alice en man på stranden utanför hennes hus. Han har inget namn, ingen jacka och ingen aning om hur han kommit dit. Utan att tänka sig för ordentligt bjuder hon in honom till sitt hem. I Surrey inser tjugoettåriga Lily att hennes man har försvunnit. De har endast varit gifta i tre veckor och när han en dag inte kommer hem från jobbet känner hon sig fast i ett nytt land där hon inte känner någon. Och när hon inte tror att något kan bli värre meddelar polisen henne att hennes man aldrig ens har existerat. Två kvinnor, en man utan minne och tjugo år av hemligheter står i centrum av Lisa Jewells nya roman. En gripande bladvändare som är minst lika nervkittlande som hennes senaste bok Flickorna i parken.

“Readers of Liane Moriarty, Paula Hawkins, and Ruth Ware will love.” —Library Journal (starred review) “Jewell’s novel explores the space between going missing and being lost….how the plots intersect and finally collide is one of the great thrills of reading Jewell’s book. She ratchets up the tension masterfully, and her writing is lively.” —The New York Times In the windswept British seaside town of Ridinghouse Bay, single mom Alice Lake finds a man sitting on a beach outside her house. He has no name, no jacket, and no idea how he got there. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside. Meanwhile, in a suburb of London, newlywed Lily Monrose grows anxious when her husband fails to return home from work one night. Soon, she receives even worse news: according to the police, the man she married never even existed. Twenty-three years earlier, Gray and Kirsty Ross are teenagers on a summer holiday with their parents. The annual trip to Ridinghouse Bay is uneventful, until an enigmatic young man starts paying extra attention to Kirsty. Something about him makes Gray uncomfortable—and it’s not just because he’s a protective older brother. Who is the man on the beach? Where is Lily’s missing husband? And what ever happened to the man who made such a lasting and disturbing impression on Gray? “A mystery with substance” (Kirkus Reviews), I Found You is a delicious collision course of a novel, filled with the believable characters, stunning writing, and “surprising revelations all the way up to the ending” (Booklist) that make the New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True Lisa Jewell so beloved by audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.
