New Releases by Lucy Foley

Årets bröllopsfest. Ett oväntat dödsfall. Tretton misstänkta. På en avlägsen ö utanför Irlands kust ska årets mest omtalade fest äga rum. Jules Keegan och Will Slater ska äntligen gifta sig. Det lyckliga paret, det perfekta paret. Vänner och familj är på plats, men bröllopstårtan hinner knappt ställas fram innan en av gästerna hittas död. Samtidigt som mordet chockar hela sällskapet blåser det upp till storm, och ingen kan ta sig tillbaka till fastlandet. Men det är inte bara vädret som ställer till det. Gammalt groll, svartsjuka och hemligheter bubblar snart upp till ytan. Tretton gäster befinner sig på ön, och alla har de sina motiv. Bröllopsfesten är brittiska Lucy Foleys andra fristående deckare. Den första, Nyårsfesten, har blivit en succé i England och blev också omtyckt när den släpptes på svenska 2019. Foley har kallats för vår tids Agatha Christie tack vare sina spännande persongallerier, miljöer och förmåga att hålla läsaren i ovisshet till sista sidan.

On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It''s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed. But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride''s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast. And then someone turns up dead. Who didn''t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?

Stille Nacht, blutige Nacht... Weihnachten steht vor der Tür und nicht jeder freut sich auf die besinnliche Zeit des Jahres: Durch einen verletzten Anhalter landen Unschuldige in einem Horror-Szenario, ein kleiner Junge versucht im Wettlauf gegen die Zeit aus den Fängen eines Polizistenmörders zu entkommen und rechtzeitig seinen schwerkranken Vater zu erreichen und eine Kommissarin muss einen Killer finden, der pünktlich zu jedem Adventssonntag einen Mord begeht. Diese weihnachtlichen Leseproben sind bestimmt nichts für schwache Nerven. Wer sich aber mal anders auf die "stille Zeit" des Jahres einstimmen will, sollte sich von unseren 24 packenden Leseproben mitreißen lassen. Aufregender könnte der Countdown zum Weihnachtsabend wohl kaum sein! Mit Leseproben von: Lucy Foley, Deborah Crombie, Ronald Malfi, Anne Perry, Sobo Swobodnik, Lee Child, Mary Higgins Clark, Tom Rob Smith, Joe Hill, James Patterson, Monika Kristensen, Alastair Gunn, Kristina Ohlsson, Tammy Cohen, Maria Lang, Sandra Brown, Ian Manook, Andreas Gruber, J.D.

De razend spannende opvolger van De jachtpartij, voor de fans van Agatha Christie, Ruth Ware en Liane Moriarty. ‘De gastenlijst zette me tot het einde toe op het verkeerde been. Een klassieke whodunit en briljante psychologische thriller in één.’ Kate Mosse Dertien gasten. Eén lijk. Jules en Will kunnen hun geluk niet op. Eindelijk is het zover: hun bruiloft op een schitterend eiland voor de Ierse kust. Terwijl de laatste voorbereidingen worden getroffen en de gasten langzaam binnendruppelen, nadert er een storm. Wanneer die in alle hevigheid losbarst, kan niemand nog van het eiland af. Oud zeer steekt de kop op, lang vergeten vetes worden uitgevochten en de stemming op het eiland wordt alsmaar grimmiger. Maar niemand kon vermoeden dat een van de aanwezigen in staat was tot moord. Iedereen heeft geheimen. Iedereen heeft een motief. Een van hen zal het eiland niet levend verlaten. Maar wie? In de pers ‘Ik had niet verwacht dat Foley een nóg beter boek zou schrijven dan De jachtpartij, maar zie hier! De gastenlijst is adembenemend.’ Alex Michaelides, bestsellerauteur van De stille patiënt ‘Een ijzersterke, meeslepende thriller die je in een ruk wilt uitlezen. Ik hoop dat Foley nog meer thrillers gaat schrijven die net zo goed zijn als De jachtpartij.’ Hebban.nl ‘Cluedo in boekvorm.’ LINDA. ‘Spannend en origineel.’ Trouw

Todo ano, nove amigos comemoram o réveillon juntos. Desta vez, apenas oito vão voltar para a casa depois da festa. Programado para acontecer em um cenário idílico, o réveillon que Miranda, Katie e os outros amigos que conheceram na faculdade passarão juntos este ano promete refeições deliciosas regadas a champanhe, música, jogos e conversas descontraídas. No entanto, as tensões começam já na viagem de trem — o grupo não tem mais nada em comum além de um passado de convivência, feridas jamais cicatrizadas e segredos potencialmente destrutivos. E então, em meio à grande festa da última noite do ano, o fio que os mantém unidos enfim arrebenta. No dia seguinte, alguém está morto e uma forte nevasca impede a vinda do resgate. Ninguém pode entrar. Ninguém pode sair. Nem o assassino. Contada em flashbacks a partir das perspectivas dos vários personagens, a história deste malfadado encontro é um daqueles mistérios de assassinato cheio de tensão e de ritmo perfeito. Com uma trama assustadora e brilhantemente construída, A última festa planta no leitor a semente da dúvida: será que velhos amigos são sempre os melhores amigos?

Un trepidante thriller en el que las viejas amistades no siempre son las mejores. Fueron un grupo unido, alegre, divertido. Han pasado varios años desde que dejaron la universidad, pero les gusta reunirse de vez en cuando. Este año han elegido un idílico pabellón de caza en medio de las montañas de Escocia para pasar los últimos días del año. El viaje comienza de manera inocente: admirando el paisaje, bebiendo y recordando anécdotas del pasado. Sin embargo, el resentimiento y el peso de los secretos han ido creciendo. Creen que siguen siendo los mismos, cada uno en su papel, el de la guapa, o el de la silenciosa, o la pareja perfecta, o el outsider, pero el tiempo les ha cambiado. Cuando se desata una tremenda tormenta de nieve el día antes de Nochevieja, el grupo queda completamente aislado del mundo. Dos días más tarde, en el primer día del año, a uno de ellos le ha tocado el papel de víctima. Entre ellos, hay otro que se ha convertido en un asesino. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Everyone''s invited...everyone''s a suspect... For fans of Ruth Ware and Tana French, a shivery, atmospheric, page-turning novel of psychological suspense in the tradition of Agatha Christie, in which a group of old college friends are snowed in at a hunting lodge . . . and murder and mayhem ensue. All of them are friends. One of them is a killer. During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of thirtysomething friends from Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students ten years ago. For this vacation, they’ve chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands—the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves. They arrive on December 30th, just before a historic blizzard seals the lodge off from the outside world. Two days later, on New Year’s Day, one of them is dead. The trip began innocently enough: admiring the stunning if foreboding scenery, champagne in front of a crackling fire, and reminiscences about the past. But after a decade, the weight of secret resentments has grown too heavy for the group’s tenuous nostalgia to bear. Amid the boisterous revelry of New Year’s Eve, the cord holding them together snaps. Now one of them is dead . . . and another of them did it. Keep your friends close, the old adage goes. But just how close is too close?

Alla är inbjudna. Alla är misstänkta. Det är slutet av december och det nya året ska snart ringas in.

Det ska bli det bästa nyåret någonsin. Men just som ett snöoväder rasar in över Skottland hittas en i sällskapet mördad. Och samtidigt ryktas det att en seriemördare går lös i vildmarken. Har han slagit till igen? Eller finns den skyldiga inom stugans trygga väggar? Nyårsfesten av Lucy Foley är en ruggigt atmosfärisk deckare som toppat listorna i England. En modern pusseldeckare för alla som älskar julböcker men gärna också vill ha ett rejält mysterium att bita i. Lucy Foley visar att det traditionella mordmysteriet fortfarande kan funka briljant Superb läsning! The Times Vansinnigt spännande läsning för långa vinternätter. Publishers Weekly

Agatha Christie meets Ruth Ware in deze winterse thriller waarin niemand te vertrouwen is Negen vrienden vieren oudejaarsavond in een idyllische villa in de Schotse Hooglanden. Het lijkt de perfecte plek om hun gehaaste Londense leven even achter zich te laten en van elkaars gezelschap te genieten. Het ontbreekt de vrienden aan niets: ze hebben een prachtig uitzicht, een knappend haardvuur, een provisiekast vol eten en liters champagne. Maar wat ze ook hebben is geheimen voor elkaar, langgekoesterde jaloezie en bergen opgekropte woede. Terwijl buiten de sneeuw valt, wordt de spanning in de villa ondraaglijk. Als de lucht op nieuwjaarsdag opklaart is een van de gasten dood. En een van de anderen is de moordenaar. Maar wie? Pers en boekverkopers ‘Foley legt de onderlinge verhoudingen genadeloos bloot.’ Trouw ‘Een moderne Agatha Christie. Bijzonde knap opgezet en spannend tot het einde toe.’ Wim Krings, boekhandel Krings, Sittard ‘IJzersterke, meeslepende thriller.’ MAX Magazine

Ni venner møtes til romjul- og nyttårsfeiring på en avsidesliggende, men luksuriøs jakteiendom i det skotske høylandet. Det er bare sjarmerende da snøen begynner å lave ned og de må belage seg på noen dager uten kontakt med omverdenen. Men gamle uoverensstemmelser og hemmeligheter har en ubehagelig tendens til å trenge seg opp til overflaten når gjengen ikke kan slippe unna hverandre. Og denne gangen blir det stygt – så stygt at ikke før har klokken slått tolv på nyttårsaften så blir en av de ni funnet død i snøen. Det er definitivt ikke noen ulykke, men et mord blant venner. Lucy Foley har skrevet en moderne psykologisk thriller med inspirasjon fra de tradisjonelle engelske mordmysteriene.

Istanbul, 1921: Die ehemals schillernde Metropole des Osmanischen Reiches ist durch Krieg und Besatzung nur noch ein Schatten ihrer selbst. Viele Bewohner haben ihr Zuhause verloren. So auch die junge Nur, die wohlbehütet in einer intellektuellen Familie aufgewachsen ist, fließend Englisch spricht und sich am liebsten an die herrlich trägen Sommer in ihrem Haus am Bosporus erinnert. Inzwischen lebt sie mit Mutter und Großmutter in einer kleinen Wohnung und schlägt sich mit Näharbeiten durch. Eines Tages findet sie einen Waisenjungen und nimmt ihn zu sich. Als er hohes Fieber bekommt, bringt sie ihn in ein englisches Militärkrankenhaus. Einer der Ärzte, George, kümmert sich aufopferungsvoll um das Kind, und sosehr Nur ihn, den Engländer, also einen der feindlichen Besatzer, auch verachtet – nach und nach entspinnen sich zarte Bande zwischen den beiden ...

Ligurien, 1953. Vor der schillernden Kulisse der italienischen Riviera spielt diese mitreißende Geschichte zweier Menschen – Hal und Stella –, deren Wege sich in Rom in einer schicksalhaften Nacht kreuzen. Ein Jahr später begegnen sie sich wieder, diesmal jedoch unter Umständen, die ihnen zum Verhängnis werden könnten ... Als Hal und Stella sich auf einer Yacht auf einer Reise entlang der ligurischen Küste inmitten einer Schar illustrer Gäste zufällig wiedersehen, kommen sie nicht voneinander los. Doch nicht nur Stellas Ehemann, der skrupellose amerikanische Investor Frank Truss, auch Stellas eigene Vergangenheit stehen ihrem gemeinsamen Glück im Weg. Sie versuchen, gegen ihre Gefühle anzukämpfen, jedoch erfolglos, und die Spannungen an Bord nehmen immer mehr zu. Und so beschließen sie, allen Widerständen zum Trotz, alles auf eine Karte zu setzen. Große Emotionen, schicksalhafte Lebensgeschichten und prächtige Bilder verweben sich zu einem üppigen und bittersüßen Schmöker, der das Lebensgefühl des Dolce Vita in all seiner Sinnlichkeit heraufbeschwört.

From the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Paris Apartment and The Guest List, an evocative love story set along the Italian Riviera about a group of charismatic stars who all have secrets and pasts they try desperately — and dangerously — to hide. Rome, 1953: Hal, an itinerant journalist flailing in the post-war darkness, has come to the Eternal City to lose himself and to seek absolution for the thing that haunts him. One evening he finds himself on the steps of a palazzo, walking into a world of privilege and light. Here, on a rooftop above the city, he meets the mysterious Stella. Hal and Stella are from different worlds, but their connection is magnetic. Together, they escape the crowded party and imagine a different life, even if it''s just for a night. Yet Stella vanishes all too quickly, and Hal is certain their paths won''t cross again. But a year later they are unexpectedly thrown together, after Hal receives an invitation he cannot resist. An Italian Contessa asks him to assist on a trip of a lifetime -- acting as a reporter on a tremendous yacht, skimming its way along the Italian coast toward Cannes film festival, the most famous artists and movie stars of the day gathered to promote a new film. Of all the luminaries aboard — an Italian ingénue, an American star, a reclusive director — only one holds Hal in thrall: Stella. And while each has a past that belies the gilded surface, Stella has the most to hide. As Hal''s obsession with Stella grows, he becomes determined to bring back the girl she once was, the girl who''s been confined to history. An irresistibly entertaining and atmospheric novel set in some of the world''s most glamorous locales, The Invitation is a sultry love story about the ways in which the secrets of the past stay with us — no matter how much we try to escape them.

''The perfect summer read... Gorgeously compelling'' Good Housekeeping ''Full of mystery and long-reaching shadows of the past . . . richly drawn and compelling'' Rosanna Ley Rome, 1950s. One fateful night, Hal Jacobs meets Stella, a beautiful society darling from New York. To Hal, flailing in the post-war darkness, she''s a point of light. They''re from different worlds, but both trying and failing to carve out a new life. Stella vanishes all too quickly, until a curious invitation from an Italian Contessa reels her back into Hal''s world. They join the Contessa''s collection of luminaries on a yacht headed for Cannes film festival. The scene on board is a fiction - scars from the war can be hidden yet not healed. Everyone is hiding a dark history, but Stella''s secrets run the deepest. Compelled by her fragile beauty, Hal is determined to bring back the girl she once was, the girl who''s been confined to history. The Invitation is an epic love story that will transport you from the glamour of the Italian Riviera, to the darkness of war-torn Spain, and to a golden - if rather haunted - time. Perfect for fans of Kate Morton and Victoria Hislop.

¿Y si todo lo que necesitas saber sobre tu pasado estuviera oculto en un cuadro?

From London to Corsica to Paris — as a young woman pursues the truth about her late mother, two captivating love stories unfurl in this captivating novel from the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Paris Apartment and The Guest List. Kate Darling''s enigmatic mother — a once-famous ballerina — has passed away, leaving Kate bereft. When her grandmother falls ill and bequeaths to Kate a small portrait of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Kate''s mother, Kate uncovers a mystery that may upend everything she thought she knew. Kate''s journey to find the true identity of the woman in the portrait takes her to some of the world''s most iconic and indulgent locales, revealing a love story that began in the wild 1920s and was disrupted by war and could now spark new love for Kate. Alternating between Kate''s present-day hunt and voices from the past, The Book of Lost and Found casts light on family secrets and love — both lost and found.

De jonge fotografe Kate is kapot van de dood van haar moeder Jane, een weeskind dat uitgroeide tot een gevierd ballerina. Terwijl Kate rouwt wil ze niemand om zich heen hebben – behalve Evie, de adoptiemoeder van Jane, die altijd als een oma voor Kate is geweest. Als Evie onthult dat ze meer van Janes afkomst weet dan ze ooit heeft willen toegeven, besluit Kate op zoek te gaan naar een familiegeschiedenis die ze voorgoed verloren had gewaand. Ze stuit op een tragisch liefdesverhaal van twee mensen die door omstandigheden van elkaar werden gescheiden – en die in tijden van oorlog, politiek tumult en armoede altijd van elkaar bleven houden.

La notte in cui June Darling morì tutto il mondo parlò di lei. Il suo aereo precipitò avvitandosi come se fosse di cartapesta, e così anche quelli che non la conoscevano seppero della ballerina che grazie a un talento prodigioso aveva saputo riscattarsi dalla misera sorte di bambina abbandonata e di ragazza madre. Kate, la figlia di June, sa però che sua madre rideva del mito che avvolgeva le sue origini. Non si curava affatto dei genitori naturali che l’avevano trascurata («Se avessero tenuto a me, sarebbero venuti a cercarmi») né dell’uomo che l’aveva semplicemente aiutata a generare Kate. «Io ho te, ed Evie» diceva alla figlia. E così Kate, giovane fotografa, è cresciuta con l’idea che la piccola comunità composta da lei, June e «nonna» Evie, la donna che si è presa cura di sua madre, fosse l’unica cosa degna al mondo, un «vero triangolo amoroso» separato da tutto il resto. Finché... finché un pomeriggio di primavera un’inaspettata rivelazione capovolge all’improvviso le sue certezze. «Nonna» Evie la convoca nella casa di riposo in cui trascorre i suoi ultimi giorni e le svela che la madre naturale di June si è fatta ripetutamente viva nel corso degli anni, con lettere e messaggi che lei ha colpevolmente nascosto e nei quali la donna esprimeva il desiderio di far capire a June che non l’aveva mai realmente abbandonata. E, a conferma delle sue sofferte parole, esibisce una busta di carta marrone secca e fragile come una foglia avvizzita e un cartoncino rigido su cui è raffigurata, con un tratto a inchiostro di squisita fattura, una giovane donna straordinariamente simile a June, seduta su una coperta da picnic, con uno specchio d’acqua alle spalle. Il disegno, opera di un talento fuori del comune, è datato 1929 ed è firmato con due lettere intrecciate, una S e una T o una T e una S. Grazie al suo milieu artistico, Kate non tarda a scoprire che dietro quelle iniziali si cela Thomas Stafford, uno dei pittori più celebri e apprezzati del mondo, protagonista di una recente, importante retrospettiva alla Tate. Si precipita sulle tracce dell’anziano artista ancora vivente e, una volta raggiuntolo alla Maison du Vent in Corsica, si imbatte in una scoperta ancora più sconvolgente: la storia di un grande amore perduto in nome di un amore più puro e più alto del semplice possesso. Pubblicato in numerosi paesi, Il libro dell’amore perduto è il primo romanzo di Lucy Foley, un esordio acclamato da critica e pubblico in Inghilterra, «l’opera incantevole di un talento da tenere d’occhio» (Sunday Times). «Ci sono cose destinate a perdersi nel tempo...» «Un debutto epico». Independent «Una trama serrata e una prosa raffinata». Sunday Mirror «Avvincente e sfrenatamente romantico». Daily Mail

Bestseller New York Times și Sunday Times De la autoarea bestsellerului Listade invitați În vacanța de iarnă, câțiva prieteni din Oxford se întâlnesc să întâmpine împreună Noul An, așa cum fac de zece ani, din studenție. Anul acesta au ales o cabană idilică și izolată în munții Scoției — locul perfect unde să se retragă și să se deconecteze. Vacanța începe nevinovat: admiră cu toții peisajul uluitor, deși rău-prevestitor, beau șampanie lângă șemineu și își amintesc de trecut. Însă după un deceniu povara resenti¬mentelor înăbușite a devenit prea grea pentru nostalgia fragilă a grupului. Iar legătura dintre ei se rupe, chiar când un viscol teribil izolează cabana de restul lumii. După două zile, chiar de Anul Nou, unul dintre ei este mort… iar criminalul este tot unul dintre ei. Nu rămâne pe dinafară, vino și tu la petrecere. "Un roman polițist plin de tensiune, cu un ritm perfect." – People „Lucy Foley dovedește că formula tradițională a crimei comise într-o casă de la țară (…) încă poate funcționa splendid." – The Times „Înfiorător și captivant. Nu citiți cartea singuri, noaptea." – Elle „Foley descrie atât de însuflețit decorul de cabană de vânătoare, încât îți vine să-ți rezervi imediat următoarea vacanță în munți, cu sau fără criminali ascunși." – National Geographic „Un thriller foarte bun, o poveste plină de viață și suspans pentru o noapte lungă de iarnă." – Publishers Weekly „Foley sporește tensiunea inteligent și înfiorător, subliniind că vechii pri¬eteni nu sunt întotdeauna și cei mai buni prieteni." – Observer
