Uncle Paul de Celia Fremlin

J'ouvre rapidement un topic à ce petit roman policier vintage réédité en anglais par Faber & Faber. Je l'ai repéré sur plusieurs comptes IG et blogs anglais et je viens de le recevoir. J'espère le lire avant la fin de l'été !

Citation :

The holidays have begun. In a seaside caravan resort, Isabel and her sister Meg build sandcastles with the children, navigate deckchair politics, explore the pier’s delights, gorge ice cream in the sun. But their half-sister Mildred has returned to a nearby coastal cottage where her husband – the mysterious Uncle Paul – was arrested for his first wife’s attempted murder: and family skeletons emerge.

Now, on his release from prison, is he returning for revenge, seeking who betrayed him? Or are all three women letting their nerves get the better of them? Though who really is Meg’s new lover? And whose are those footsteps …?

‘Sinister, witty and utterly compelling. A genius.’ Nicola Upson

La couverture et le pitch me plaisent beaucoup. J'attends ton avis Emjy pour voir si je craque ou non.

Citation :

Milly Barnes has just arrived in the seaside town of Seacliffe. Between windswept walks on the beach, she settles into lodgings and finds work as a Daily Help. Except this isn't her real name - 'Milly' is on the run from her past life, escaping a nightmare marriage.

Abandoned by her first husband for another woman, she took revenge by marrying Gilbert: but this proved a terrible mistake. Trapped in a London basement flat, she became a victim of his increasingly paranoid delusions. But what really happened in that underground dungeon? And is somebody on her trail, the hunter in a game of cat-and-mouse ...?

Sortie le 6 juin prochain !
