Disclaimer - Tapa blanda

Críticas

"Renée Knight's debut book is being compared with Gone Girl. . . . A chilling premise."--Wall Street Journal

"New authors need to stand out and Renée Knight has a doozy of an opening for Disclaimer.... Why is the driving question here, not how or who, and it's really well done."--Globe and Mail (Toronto)

"Let me now acknowledge having done what thriller writers love doing: burying the lead. It's Disclaimer that turns out to be the Gone Girl of the season."--Janet Maslin, New York Times

"Disclaimer is something special. . . an outstandingly clever and twisty tale that's been perfectly engineered to make heads spin."--Janet Maslin, New York Times

"Sensationally good psychological suspense...exactly what a great thriller should be."--Lee Child

"With pitch-perfect pacing and alternating narrators that leap off the page, Disclaimer is both a page-turning mystery and an artful exploration of the explosive intersection between marriage and motherhood, revenge and regret. A wonderfully compelling book."--Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia

"The marvel of...Disclaimer is that it just about lives up to its unusually gripping premise...[and] forms a trinity alongside Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train as the best of domestic noir."--New York Daily News

"Disclaimer stealthily steals your attention and by the end holds you prisoner--a searing story that resonates long after the final page. The best thriller I've read this year."--Rosamund Lupton, New York Times bestselling author of Sister and Afterwards

"Knight's pace...nuilds momentum and ends with a series of breakneck plot twists and surprises.... A seriously unnerving roller coaster.... It's also a surprisingly sophisticated examination of marriage, motherhood and memory, as well as--naturally--guilt, grief and revenge."--Richmond Times-Dispatch

"A mysterious book within a book, which contains potentially damning information about the protagonist, jump starts this remarkable debut by British scriptwriter Knight....This unsettling psychological thriller about guilt and grief briskly moves to a shocking finale enhanced by its strong characters."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Reseña del editor

A brilliantly conceived, deeply unsettling psychological thriller— already an international sensation—about a woman haunted by secrets, the consuming desire for revenge, and the terrible price we pay when we try to hide the truth.

Finding a mysterious novel at her bedside plunges documentary filmmaker Catherine Ravenscroft into a living nightmare. Though ostensibly fiction, The Perfect Stranger recreates in vivid, unmistakable detail the terrible day she became hostage to a dark secret, a secret that only one other person knew—and that person is dead.

Now that the past is catching up with her, Catherine’s world is falling apart. Her only hope is to confront what really happened on that awful day . . . even if the shocking truth might destroy her.
