A compelling and intriguing novel of obsession and deception which shakes the foundations of family life Lynda Graham has been fortunate in life. She is happily married, with two wonderful children, Ciarán and Katie. She has a beautiful home and garden in one of the most affluent suburbs of Dublin. Her world feels safe and uncomplicated, one she now takes for granted. That is until Jon, a friend of Ciarán's from university - handsome, charming and clever - inveigles his way into their lives. There's something about Jon that Lynda finds unnerving - he is almost too perfect. And her instinct is right: Jon's arrival sets in motion a spiral of events that contributes to the gradual disintegration of all she holds dear. When Jon leaves, his disappearance is even more destructive than his presence. Lynda's quest to track him down reveals unpalatable truths about his past and the reason for his existence in their lives. Lynda knows that Jon is out there somewhere - watching, waiting, malevolent. And she also knows that she must do whatever it takes to protect the most precious thing she has - her family.… (plus d'informations)

Lynda e Robert Graham possono dirsi soddisfatti della vita che si sono costruiti. Una bella casa in un quartiere benestante di Dublino, la sicurezza economica, due figli invidiabili, Katie e Ciarán. Nonostante qualche nuvola passeggera e qualche preoccupazione legata al comportamento un po’ aggressivo del figlio adolescente, i Graham vedono scorrere la loro esistenza placidamente. C’è solo un neo in questo perfetto quadro famigliare: si tratta di Danny, il fratello minore di Robert, uno scapestrato che periodicamente sconvolge la loro routine con le sue pretese e i suoi modi prepotenti. Per fortuna, nella casa dei Graham arriva una persona che porta un po’ di serenità. Ciarán infatti presenta ai suoi Jon, un amico bello, educato e sensibile, che presto diventa una presenza fissa al punto da trasferirsi da loro. Agli occhi di tutti Jon sembra l’ospite perfetto, forse troppo: l’istinto di Lynda le suggerisce che qualcosa non va... Chi è veramente il dolce e disponibile Jon? E perché, da quando è entrato nelle loro vite, iniziano a verificarsi episodi misteriosi e inquietanti? Di fronte a un’oscura minaccia che sembra voler distruggere il suo mondo, toccherà a Lynda cercare delle risposte.

Ooh now, this book is a definite cut above the rest. Full of mystery, hidden secrets and very effective suspense, I just had to keep reading to find out if our heroine Lynda could unravel the mystery and save those she loved before it was too late. The gradual unfolding of the various crimes that may - or may not - have been committed is excellently done, and the ending is a masterclass in thriller writing. Great stuff. ( )
