Only We Know - Tapa blanda

Críticas

The book is beautifully written, with just the right balance of teasing the reader with clues and hitting them with revelations (Best Crime Fiction of 2015 Telegraph)

The power of Only We Know lies in the slow illumination of how, under their flimsy cloaks of adulthood, Katie and Nick and Luke are still the traumatised children of a long-ago day by a river, frozen in time by one event. It raises fascinating questions about who we are at heart, about the degree to which damage and guilt can shape our natures, and about whether - and how - we can be redeemed (Tana French)

Only We Know builds handsomely on the promise of The Boy That Never Was, plausibly and hauntingly exploring the extent to which guilt, shame and secrecy can shape, define and eventually destroy lives (Declan Burke Irish Times)

This is an intense and subtle story with some wonderfully poetic passages and a character driven plot which becomes more compelling as the sense of momentum gathers and the true version of events is slowly revealed. Gripping stuff (Sunday Mirror)

Don't be surprised if you devour Only We Know in one sitting (Crime Fiction Lovers)

Praise for The Boy That Never Was (-)

I shot through this in one sitting. Like Gone Girl . . . It's the most gripping thing I've read for ages (Evening Standard)

Stunning (Simon Mayo Radio 2 Book Club)

A truly remarkable novel. The Boy That Never Was is a pitch-perfect balance of driving plot and honest, complex human emotion. Written in a captivating, lyrical style and brilliantly structured, the story grips your heart from the first pages and simply never lets go (Jeffrey Deaver)

Beautifully written, tense and twisty tale (Sunday Mirror)

Reseña del editor

From the bestselling author of The Boy That Never Was and Girl Unknown, Only We Know is a gripping novel that shows just how dangerous our childhood secrets can be.

In 1982, on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday beneath the stifling heat of the midday sun, three children start a game that ends in tragedy.

Now, thirty years later, Nick, Luke and Katie are estranged, yet still bound together by the dark truth of what happened at the river that day.

Except some secrets won't stay buried.

And when Luke suddenly vanishes and the threatening messages begin, it seems that the strings of the past are tightening around them all. Because someone else knows what they did and is intent on seeking justice, at any cost . . .
