Riassunto

'From the very first page I was drawn in, hook, line and sinker' Amazon reviewer The bestselling noir thriller about the lengths a mother will go to protect her child. Perfect for fans of Linda Green and Fiona Barton. The loss of her mother has left Kali McKenzie with too many unanswered questions. But while clearing out Elena's art studio, she finds a drawer packed with postcards, each bearing an identical one-line message a Canadian gallery owner called Susannah Gillespie: thinking of you. Who is this woman and what does she know about Elena's hidden past? Desperate to find out, Kali travels with her toddler, Finn, to Susannah's isolated home on a remote British Columbian island, a place of killer whales and storms. But as bad weather closes in, Kali quickly realises she has made a big mistake. The handsome and enigmatic Susannah refuses to talk about the past, and as Kali struggles to piece together what happened back in the 1970s, Susannah's behaviour grows more and more erratic. Most worrying of all, Susannah is becoming increasingly preoccupied with little Finn . . .

Recensione:

Praise for Lucy Atkins:

Horribly, horribly compulsive. Brilliant (Fiona Barton, author of The Widow)

A gripping page-turner (The Sunday Times)

Taut, tense, and beautifully written. I held my breath between chapters and didn't sleep until I reached the end (Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go)

A complex, creepy and insidious novel (The Guardian on The Night Visitor)

The rich characterisation makes for an alarmingly plausible riches-to-rags tale (Sunday Times on The Night Visitor)

Elegant, clever, beautifully written. Lucy Atkins is, quite frankly, a genius (Joanna Cannon, author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep)

Thrillingly creepy and darkly funny, The Night Visitor set me racing through the chapters with its brilliant plotting and characters that crackle off the page. A cannot tear yourself away novel (Kate Hamer, author of The Girl in the Red Coat)

Addictive . . . a pace so relentless that you'll want to inhale this novel in one uninterrupted sitting (Sunday Times on The Other Child)

This atmospheric, propulsive novel creeps up on you like footsteps in the dead of night... a tingling layer of gothic suspense (Metro on The Night Visitor)
