Synopsis

Un encuentro casual da comienzo a una impenetrable red de mentiras en este nuevo y apasionante thriller psicológico de Mary Kubica, cuya primera novela, Una buena chica, alcanzó gran éxito de ventas. Heidi Wood ve a una adolescente en el andén del tren, de pie bajo la lluvia, con un bebé en brazos. Sube al tren y se aleja. Pero no consigue quitarse a la chica de la cabeza. Heidi siempre ha sido una mujer caritativa: trabaja en una ONG, adopta gatos callejeros… Pero su marido y su hija quedan horrorizados cuando un buen día vuelve a casa con una joven llamada Willow y su bebé de cuatro meses. Aquella chica desaseada y sin hogar conocido podría ser una delincuente o algo peor. Pero, pese a las protestas de su familia, Heidi la invita a instalarse en su casa. Durante los días siguientes, Heidi la ayuda a restablecerse. Sin embargo, cuando comienzan a aflorar pistas sobre el pasado de Willow, se verá obligada a decidir hasta dónde está dispuesta a llegar para ayudar a una desconocida. Y lo que comienza siendo un acto de bondad se convierte rápidamente en una trama mucho más retorcida de lo que nadie podía imaginar. «¿Hasta dónde estarías dispuesto a llegar por ayudar a un desconocido?».

This book had me on the edge of my seat from the first page. I think I might have liked it more than The Good Girl, and that's saying something! Complex characters, a woven plot that braids perfectly in the end - do yourself a favour and read this book!......more
