Description de l’éditeur
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING FIRST NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF GONE GIRL
“Riveting.”—PEOPLE
“A terrific debut . . . elevated by sharp writing and sharper insights.”—STEPHEN KING
“Keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction.”—CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town.
Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story—and survive this homecoming.
NOW AN HBO® LIMITED SERIES STARRING AMY ADAMS, NOMINATED FOR EIGHT EMMY AWARDS, INCLUDING OUTSTANDING LIMITED SERIES
Avis d’utilisateurs
Full of clichés.
I feel like I’m reading a book written by a teenager that thinks that writing about all the tired clichés of a depressed teenager-become-woman. Of course the main character gets drawn back to her hometown and is reminded of her lackluster adolescence.
I had a hard time finishing the book because when my eyes should be moving side to side, they roll into the back of my head as nearly every page is riddled with rehashed ideas from every other book in its genre.
Lame.
As the book comes to a close, it’s done so over what seems like 10 pages. I guess Jill has a deadline to make!
Total garbage.
What’s a surprise is that I’ve seen the first episode of the series based on this book and it seems really good. Maybe I should stop reading books if Hollywood can do it better!
