The Mourning Hours

Megan Mazeros dan Lauren Mabrey hidup dalam dunia yang sangat berbeda. Megan adalah seorang gadis sederhana, sedangkan Lauren adalah putri seorang senator dari keluarga terhormat. Namun pada tahun 1999, keduanya menjadi teman sekamar saat kuliah dan, sebagai wanita muda yang berusaha menemukan tempat di dunia kampus, mereka menjalin hubungan pertemanan yang erat dan saling berbagi rahasia-rahasia terdalam. Pada musim panas sebelum memasuki tahun keempat, Megan ikut berlibur bersama Lauren dan keluarganya di sebuah pulau pribadi. Minggu-minggu berlalu dengan damai, hingga pada suatu malam menjelang akhir liburan terjadi sesuatu yang tak terbayangkan, yang membakar rangka persahabatan kedua gadis itu hingga runtuh.

Das Mädchen von nebenan liegt leblos im Pool. Und der glitzernde Schein des Villenviertels "The Palms" ist zerstört. Von Beginn an hat Liz sich dort wie eine Außenseiterin gefühlt. Nur ihrer Tochter Danielle und ihrem Mann zuliebe ist sie in diese wohlhabende Nachbarschaft gezogen. Danielle freundete sich schnell mit der gleichaltrigen Kelsey an. Bald schon ging das Mädchen bei der Familie ein und aus. Bis sie im Wasser treibt, und jeder einen Grund gehabt hätte sie hineinzustoßen - selbst Liz. "In DeBoards neuestem Thriller trifft "Eine verhängnisvolle Affäre" auf "Desperate Housewives" ... Eine fesselnde Spannungsstory mit einem unvorhersehbaren Ende." - Booklist "Von Beginn an düster und unheilvoll hat mich der Roman ehrfürchtig zurückgelassen. Das Buch zeigt, was für eine brillante Autorin Paula Treick DeBoard ist. Faszinierend" - New York Times-Bestsellerautorin Mary Kubica

Ever since she and her family moved in, she's felt like an outsider amongst the Stepford-like wives and their obnoxiously spoiled children. Still, she's determined to make it work—if not for herself, then for her husband, Phil, who landed them this lavish home in the first place, and for her daughter, Danielle, who's about to enter high school. Yet underneath the glossy veneer of The Palms, life is far from idyllic. In a place where reputation is everything, Liz soon discovers that even the friendliest residents can't be trusted. So when the gorgeous girl next door befriends Danielle, Liz can't help but find sophisticated Kelsey's interest in her shy and slightly nerdy daughter a bit suspicious. But while Kelsey quickly becomes a fixture in the McGinnis home, Liz's relationships with both Danielle and Phil grow strained. Now even her own family seems to be hiding things, and it's not long before their dream of living the high life quickly spirals out of control… More Praise "[The] next must-read…"—Catherine McKenzie, bestselling author of Hidden and Smoke "Heart-pounding." —Sophie Littlefield, New York Times bestselling author "Suspenseful and compelling." —Karen Brown, author of The Longings of Wayward Girls
