Description de l’éditeur
From the author of the word-of-mouth bestseller YOU comes another grippingly obsessive novel.
Joe Goldberg came to Los Angeles to start over, to forget about what happened in New York. But in a darkened room in Soho House everything suddenly changed.
She is like no one he's ever met before.
She doesn't know about his past and never can.
The problem is, hidden bodies don't always stay that way.
'Hypnotic and scary' Stephen King on You
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Joe Goldberg, the narrator of Kepnes's dark, quirky sequel to 2014's You, is a serial killer who otherwise leads a normal life as a New York City bookstore manager. Joe's relationship with M.F.A. student Guinevere Beck, whom he pursued in You, ended badly, and he's devastated when his current girlfriend, Amy Kendell Adam, mysteriously disappears. By tracing Amy's computer search history, Joe discovers that she has registered for an acting class in Hollywood. He vows to go there, find Amy, and make her pay for deserting him. Once in Hollywood, he continues his murder spree, all the while hoping to find Amy. In his search, he meets many well-drawn characters, including an L.A. policeman and a rich, drug-addicted playboy. Meanwhile, Joe undergoes a surprising personal transformation, and remarkably, the author convinces the reader to empathize with her killer protagonist.
Avis d’utilisateurs
Full of suspense and yet...
I was eager to read this book, having loved the first one of the series. It was full of suspense, expertly written and yet... it seems to lack of something. Maybe it is too long, or maybe the element of surprise just isn’t there anymore. I still enjoyed the story, though, and cannot wait to read the third book of the series.
