Un secret bien gardé par Alice Hoffman
Dans le Massachusetts, un couple sans histoire à l'amour impeccable, mène une vie tranquille. Mais un beau matin, l'image de la famille parfaite se lézarde lorsque le père est arrêté suspecté d'avoir commis un meutre atroce 15 ans auparavant. L'intrigue tourne autour des impacts sur la famille, et plus largement sur la communauté. Le roman met longtemps a démarrer mais la description acide des personnages, les apparences trompeuses font contrepoids. Rien de transcendant.
Roman mi policier, mi-sociologique sur une micro société qui va se dissoudre à l'occasion de la révélation d'un crime commis par l'un des siens.
