Críticas
"Marriage is as mysterious as murder in LaPlante's captivating psychological thriller. . . . a smart, intricate tale about murder and the elusive mysteries of marriage . . . In LaPlante's world knowing who did the deed is never as fascinating as wondering why." --People (3.5 stars) "The pleasures of this novel--as with LaPlante's last, Turn of Mind--lie less in the plot, which is strewn with only a few clues and red herrings, and more in the sharply drawn and carefully shaded characters. A-" --Entertainment Weekly "A suspenseful, thrilling read but also one that explores the complications of human relationships with grace and understanding. In her darkly funny, lushly drawn mystery, LaPlante offers readers her own revelations about love, loss, and the complicated compulsions that draw us together." --Royal Young, Interview "I finished reading this absorbing novel after 11 last night. That's the mark of a successful mystery." --Carolyn See, Washington Post "Love is a mystery in this clever whodunit about marriage, passion and deception. . . . Sharply written and observant." --Family Circle "Exhilarating and smart, A Circle of Wives is a wild ride of love, loss, marriage and murder, with a finale that's provocative, thrilling and grand. It all shows that while some deaths are a mystery, so, too, are some loves." --San Francisco Chronicle "Surprising, swift and sure-footed. . . . [LaPlante] has taken an intriguing premise and, having hooked the reader, delivers an equally intriguing book." --Seattle Times "Insightful . . . [An] engrossing tale of tangled relationships, unfilled needs, and the endless human talent for self-deception. The question it plants in the reader's mind is the most chilling of all: How well do I know the person I love?" --Washington Independent Review of Books "LaPlante's engrossing second thriller . . . explores love, loss, control, the influence of past relationships, and passion. . . . Captivating." --Publishers Weekly "A page-turner that also offers much ironic commentary on the dynamics of love and marriage, emphasizing the great mystery at the heart of any romantic relationship." --Booklist "In this literary character study built on a mystery's framework, LaPlante ingeniously constructs characters distinct and original." --Kirkus Reviews "Highly original and captivating." --The Missourian
Reseña del editor
* An Indie Next Pick * A LibraryReads Selection * An Amazon Best Book of the Month (Mysteries & Thrillers) * A Daily Candy Best Book of March * One of More Magazine's "Five Thrillers Not to Read After Dark" When Dr. John Taylor turns up dead in a hotel room, the local police uncover enough incriminating evidence to suspect foul play. Detective Samantha Adams, whose Palo Alto beat usually covers petty crimes, is innocently thrown into a high-profile case that is more complicated than any she has faced before. A renowned reconstructive surgeon and a respected family man, Dr. Taylor was beloved and admired. But beneath his perfect fa ade was a hidden life--in fact, multiple lives. Dr. Taylor was married to three very different women in three separate cities. As the circumstances surrounding his death emerge, Detective Adams finds herself tracking down a murderer through a tangled web of marital deception and revenge. New York Times bestselling author Alice LaPlante's haunting and complex novel of family secrets dissects--with scalpel-like agility--the intricacies of desire and commitment, trust and jealousy.
