Doch dort stößt Caroline auf Details, die sie zutiefst verstören: ein ganz spezieller Blumenstrauß, die eingelegte CD, ein vergessenes Rasierwasser; scheinbar harmlose Gegenstände, die in Wahrheit aber mit dem dunkelsten Kapitel ihres Lebens verbunden sind – und mit einem Menschen, den sie für immer vergessen wollte. Ist es möglich, dass er sie in eine Falle gelockt hat? Und wer ist nun in ihrer eigenen Wohnung? Es beginnt ein psychologisches Verwirrspiel, das sie und alle, die sie liebt, ins Verderben zu reißen droht ...

Second Wife

El intercambio

Je huis is afgebrand. Je vrouw weet van niets. Je dochter weet te veel. Mijn mond smaakt naar rook. Mijn ogen tranen ervan, doen pijn in de wind. Als ik mijn hand over mijn gezicht haal, blijft er as achter op mijn huid – als zachte zwarte sneeuw. Het verslindt de muren, vreet de ramen op, neemt bezit van alles. En zij zijn daarbinnen. Mijn kind, mijn vrouw. Na de tragische dood van zijn vrouw blijft Alex alleen achter met zijn tienerdochter Jane. Ze redden het prima, maar pas als hij Natalie ontmoet, breekt de zon weer door in zijn leven. Tot hun prille geluk abrupt wordt verstoord door een vreselijke brand. Dochter Jade houdt vol dat ze een man in huis heeft gezien op de avond van de brand; Natalie ontkent dat ze bezoek heeft gehad. Een van hen moet liegen, en Alex staat voor een onmogelijke keuze: gelooft hij zijn vrouw of zijn dochter? En welke consequenties heeft dat? In de pers ‘Een fantastische thriller – klassieke psychologische spanning vol verrassingen. Ik heb genoten.’ Lee Child ‘Uitstekend uitgewerkt, vol heerlijke twists. Al jouw leugens is een ijzingwekkende inkijk in de gevaren van obsessie.’ The Guardian ‘Sommige gebeurtenissen kun je beter niet in de doofpot stoppen. Een ijzige sfeer en met zorg uitgediepte personages.’ ThrillZone.nl
