Libri di Heidi Perks
Lingua:Libri ItalianiWährend Charlotte auf Alice, die Tochter ihrer Freundin Harriet, aufpasst, verschwindet das Mädchen spurlos. Charlotte ist am Boden zerstört – sie schwört, Alice nur eine Sekunde aus den Augen gelassen zu haben. Diese Sekunde reichte aus. Harriet, völlig verzweifelt, weigert sich, ihre einzige Freundin zu sehen oder mit ihr zu sprechen.
Doch warum werden, zwei Wochen nach dem verhängnisvollen Tag, Harriet und Charlotte getrennt voneinander von der Polizei verhört? Und warum haben beide Freundinnen so große Angst davor, was die andere den Beamten sagen könnte? Beide scheinen Geheimnisse zu haben – gefährliche Geheimnisse, die schon bald ans Licht kommen werden …
Familientherapeutin Stella hat die überstürzte Flucht von ihrer geliebten Heimatinsel Evergreen vor fünfundzwanzig Jahren nie verwunden. Als sie nun zufällig erfährt, dass im Garten ihres ehemaligen Elternhauses eine Leiche ausgegraben wurde, ist sie beunruhigt und beschließt, nach Evergreen zu reisen und Nachforschungen anzustellen. Dort angekommen sind nicht alle von ihrem Besuch begeistert, vor allem, als die Identität der Toten bekannt wird und Stellas seit Jahren verschollener autistischer Bruder überraschend gesteht, sie umgebracht zu haben. Von dem Wunsch getrieben, ihren Bruder zu entlasten und die Wahrheit herauszufinden, erkennt sie viel zu spät, in welch großer Gefahr sie schwebt …
Decide di farlo per la prima volta in occasione di una festa all’aperto organizzata dalla scuola, perché vuole seguire un corso per trovare un impiego. Così lascia la bambina all’amica, che la accompagna al parco insieme ai suoi tre figli. Lì Charlotte si distrae per pochi secondi guardando il telefono e in quel momento Alice scompare. Come farà a dire a Harriet che la sua unica figlia è sparita sotto i suoi occhi?
Harriet, devastata, smette di parlarle, ma due settimane dopo, inaspettatamente, la richiama. La realtà è più complessa di quanto appare e le due donne finiscono entrambe interrogate dalla polizia. Qualcuno sta nascondendo la verità su ciò che è accaduto alla piccola Alice. Tutti hanno dei segreti.
Una formidabile suspense psicologica e i punti di vista alternati tengono il lettore incollato fino all’ultima pagina del nuovo romanzo di Heidi Perks, una scrittrice dotata di un incredibile talento per il thriller.

Ripensando al suo passato, alla disperata ricerca della verità, Stella decide di ritornare sull’isola semideserta, abitata da meno di cento persone. Ben presto scoprirà che la comunità che aveva lasciato non è così calorosa come ricordava e che lei non è la benvenuta fra gli abitanti, disposti a tutto pur di tenere nascosti i loro segreti. Ma una cosa è certa, la verità non può restare sepolta per sempre. Con il suo quarto romanzo Heidi Perks convince per ritmo e storia, alternando alle frenetiche vicende del presente i ricordi d’infanzia della protagonista. L’atmosfera dell’isola, claustrofobica ma bellissima, e i suoi abitanti sono descritti superbamente. I segreti familiari di lunga data vengono rivelati a mano a mano mentre la trama, intelligente e ben costruita, si evolve inaspettatamente verso la sua conclusione.
