ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST THRILLERS OF THE YEAR

“I loved this book. It gave me the same waves of happiness I get from curling up with a classic Christie...The alternating points of view keep you guessing, and guessing wrong.” — Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient

"Evok[es] the great Agatha Christie classics…Pay close attention to seemingly throwaway details about the characters’ pasts. They are all clues.” -- New York Times Book Review

A wedding celebration turns dark and deadly in this deliciously wicked and atmospheric thriller reminiscent of Agatha Christie from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hunting Party.

The bride – The plus one – The best man – The wedding planner  – The bridesmaid – The body

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?

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"As you patiently await season two of Only Murders in the Building, cozy up with Lucy Foley’s latest whodunnit." -- Parade

"Exceedingly clever." -- Booklist

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Guest List comes a new locked room mystery, set in a Paris apartment building in which every resident has something to hide… 

Jess needs a fresh start. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn’t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn’t say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up – to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? – he’s not there.

The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has. Ben’s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it’s starting to look like it’s Ben’s future that’s in question.

The socialite – The nice guy – The alcoholic – The girl on the verge – The concierge

Everyone's a neighbor. Everyone's a suspect. And everyone knows something they’re not telling.

Sweeping, escapist and heartrending – the perfect read for fans of Victoria Hislop and Kate Morton.

LONDON, 1986: Bequeathed an old portrait by her grandmother, Kate Darling begins to unpick the tapestry of her family’s secret history in a journey that takes her to Corsica, Paris and back to the heady days of the Roaring Twenties where it all began.

PARIS, 1939: Alice Eversley and Thomas Stafford meet once again in the City of Light. Tom is now a world-famous artist, Alice is much-changed too – bruised from the events of the last decade. Perhaps they can lose themselves in the love story that ignited by a moonlit lake all those years ago?

But sometimes there’s no place for happy endings – and there’s no hiding from the shadow of war . . .

It’s 1951. In Europe’s post-war wreckage, the glittering Italian Riviera draws an eclectic cast of characters; lured by the glamour but seeking an escape.

Amongst them, two outcasts: Hal, an English journalist who’s living on his charm; and Stella, an enigmatic society beauty, bound to a profiteering husband. When Hal receives a mysterious invitation from a wealthy Contessa, he finds himself aboard a yacht headed for Cannes film festival.

Scratch the beautiful surface, and the post-war scars of his new companions are quick to show. Then there’s Stella, whose secrets run deeper than anyone’s — stretching back into the violence of Franco’s Spain. And as Hal gets drawn closer, a love affair begins that will endanger everyone…

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. Perfect for fans of Kate Morton and Victoria Hislop.

ISTANBUL, 1921

Before the Occupation, Nur’s city was a tapestry of treasures: the Grand Bazaar alive with colour, trinkets and spices; saffron sunsets melting into the black waters of the Bosphorus; the sweet fragrance of the fig trees dancing on the summer breeze . . .

Now the shadow of war hangs over the city, and Nur lives for the protection of a young boy with a terrible secret. Stumbling through the streets, carrying the embroideries that have become her livelihood, she avoids the gazes of the Allied soldiers. Survival is everything.

When Nur chances upon George Monroe, a medical officer in the British Army, it is easy to hate him. Yet the lines between enemy and friend grow fainter.

She and the boy would both be at risk. Nur knows that she cannot afford to fall – impossibly and dangerously – in love . . .

De la autora superventas de La lista de invitados llega un nuevo "misterio de habitación cerrada" al más puro estilo Agatha Christie, ambientado en un edificio de apartamentos de París en el que cada residente tiene algo que ocultar...

Bienvenido al número 12 de la Rue des Amants, un hermoso bloque de apartamentos antiguo, lejos de las luces brillantes de la Torre Eiffel y de las bulliciosas orillas del Sena. Donde nada pasa desapercibido y todos tienen una historia que descubrir.

La portera.

El amante despreciado.

El periodista fisgón.

El estudiante ingenuo.

El invitado no deseado.

Hubo un asesinato aquí anoche.

Un misterio se esconde detrás de la puerta del apartamento número tres.

¿Quién tiene la llave?

Jess necesita un nuevo comienzo. Está arruinada y sola, y acaba de dejar su trabajo en las circunstancias menos ideales. Su hermanastro Ben no parecía muy emocionado cuando le preguntó si podía quedarse con él durante una breve temporada, pero no le dijo que no, y Jess piensa que las cosas se verán mucho mejor desde París. Solo que cuando llega (a un apartamento muy agradable… ¿realmente puede permitírselo Ben?) él no está allí.

Cuanto más tiempo permanece desaparecido Ben, más comienza Jess a indagar en la situación de su hermano y más preguntas tiene. Los vecinos de Ben son un grupo ecléctico y no particularmente amigable. Puede que Jess haya venido a París para escapar de su pasado, pero empieza a parecer que es el futuro de Ben el que está en duda.

Todos son vecinos. Todos sospechan. Y todos saben algo que no están contando.

Un mariage au large de l'Irlande, sur une île belle et sauvage. Julia, à la tête d'un magazine, est déterminée et ambitieuse ; Will une étoile montante de la télé-réalité. La fête se doit d'être à l'image de leur insolente réussite : tenues de créateur, décor somptueux et hôtes triés sur le volet. Le réseau mobile est peut-être capricieux et la mer agitée, pourtant chaque détail a été planifié d'une main experte par lawedding planner.
Mais la perfection est toute théorique, les invités bien trop humains. Au fur et à mesure que le champagne coule, le ressentiment et l'envie remplacent la joie et les vœux de bonheur. Et après un black-out, voilà qu'on crie au meurtre...
