Livre à gros caractères corps 16.
Les nouveaux arrivants du no 1 du Lowland Way, rue aisée de la banlieue londonienne, s'avèrent très vite infréquentables. Alors, quand un crime horrible ébranle le quartier, les coupables semblent tout désignés... Mais est-ce pour autant la vérité ? Après le percutant Chez nous, Louise Candlish est de retour ! Avec un cynisme et un sens du suspense inégalés, elle égratigne une fois encore l'impeccable façade de la banlieue chic londonienne dans un nouveau thriller impossible à lâcher. Un polar magistralement mené. Un engrenage machiavélique, totalement addictif ! -
