Uno de los nuestros

Elise sólo puede adivinar lo que sucede tras las puertas de sus vecinos; sin embargo, Dee, la joven que la ayuda con la limpieza, es una presencia invisible que ve y oye todo. Todo se hace añicos cuando dos adolescentes son hospitalizados y un hombre desaparece. Elise se verá de nuevo en marcha en busca de respuestas, pero la pequeña comunidad cierra filas para guardar bien sus secretos. "Algo zumbaba. Una mosca. Incapaz de moverse, no podía más que escuchar su murmullo quejumbroso e intentar seguirla mentalmente por la pequeña estancia. ¿Dónde estaba? ¿Cerca del fregadero, del sumidero del suelo? Se hizo el silencio y, de pronto, la vio aletear con el rabillo del ojo. Sacudió la cabeza con violencia para impedir que se le acercara más, pero el insecto esperó y aterrizó en su mejilla, donde se había acumulado el sudor. Al notar su estremecimiento, se elevó momentáneamente, pero no tardó en regresar. Se encontraba a su merced, y la mosca, que parecía saberlo, merodeaba por su rostro como uno de esos adolescentes lúgubres que rondan la calle mayor. La mosca danzó por el trapo mojado que le habían metido en la boca y se dirigió a sus fosas nasales, ascendió y aterrizó, y el suave roce de sus patas y sus alas se convirtió en una leve tortura. Cuando por fin salió volando fue derecha a la ventana, la única fuente de luz. Al girar despacio la cabeza la vio golpear el cristal con frenesí y caer después al alféizar. También estaba presa. Cerró los ojos y procuró centrarse en encontrar el modo de escapar de allí. No sabía cuánto tiempo llevaba encerrado, de cuánto disponía hasta que volvieran. Empezaba a oscurecer en la habitación. La tarde estival se iba esfumando y él forcejeó con las ataduras una vez más hasta que los músculos le pidieron a gritos que parara. Era inútil. A lo mejor lograba escupir la mordaza y pedir socorro. Abrió la boca todo lo que pudo, notando el chasquido del cartílago de la mandíbula, y clavó con fuerza la lengua en el tejido mojado al tiempo que se mecía en la silla. Estaba funcionando, pero con el esfuerzo empezaron a pitarle los oídos y se ahogaba. Paró e intentó controlar la respiración, que le silbaba por la nariz. Luego corcoveó en la silla hasta que consiguió volcarla, haciéndole caer al suelo. Allí tendido, de pronto reparó en el silencio del cuartito. Hizo un esfuerzo por oír el gimoteo de la mosca y su penoso empeño en romper el cristal. Nada. ¿Había escapado? ¿Cómo? El miedo empezó a extenderse como una mancha por todo su cuerpo y el corazón comenzó a aporrearle el pecho. Alguien la habría dejado salir mientras él trataba de procurarse una escapatoria, alguien que había entrado por la puerta que tenía a su espalda. Intentó volverse para verlo." Read the full article

Book Review…Local Gone Missing by Fiona Barton Elise was a successful detective before a medical leave left her unsure if she would return. Now she spends most of her days watching the tensions grow in the seaside town of Ebbing. The weekenders are renovating the old homes & the locals do not like the changes. Everything comes to a head when a newcomer wants to have a giant music festival that will put the town on the map & two teenagers overdose. When a man disappears the first night of the festival it draws Elise back to work. But Ebbing is a town full of secrets & connections that run deeper & darker than Elise could have ever imagined. This was an intriguing mystery. When it first starts it seems like a straightforward mystery but when the lies, connections & twists come it becomes very complex. It's told from multiple points of views & the timeline moves from past to present. But the moving timeline just gives you a clearer picture of everyone involved. It has a lot of parts & a lot of characters but the author brings it together nicely. I like Elise's character. She's intelligent, strong & determined. & her neighbor Ronnie was a lot of fun. She added some humor to the story. The pace is one that speeds up as everything starts happening & coming together which leads to a satisfying ending! Meet the Author Fiona Barton's debut, The Widow, was a Sunday Times & New York Times bestseller & has been published in 36 countries & optioned for television. Born in Cambridge, Fiona currently lives in Sussex & south-west France. While working as a journalist, Fiona reported on many high-profile criminal cases & she developed a fascination with watching those involved, their body language & verbal tics. Fiona interviewed people at the heart of these crimes, from the guilty to their families, as well as those on the periphery & found it was those just outside the spotlight who interested her most #FionaBarton #LocalGoneMissing #mysteryread #books #read #booklover #RandomThingsTours #bookreview #berkleypub #booktours #reader #detectivestory #penguinrandomhouse #booksy #bookish #bookrecommendation #bookstagram #instabooks #instareads #readstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/CeyT0HDptIL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Suspect is the 3rd book from Fiona Barton. “Two teenage girls die in a fire while on a trip to Thailand. What happened? What were they doing? Who else was there? Journalist Kate Waters is on the story…until a personal connection pulls her off. And now she is desperate to track down her son.” Like many current thrillers, this is told in dual timelines. The girl’s story leading up to the fire and Kate’s POV trying to find her son. It’s hard to find a character to like or pull for here. The story feels like it labors a bit. I thought Barton’s first book, The Widow, was okay. I really liked her 2nd book, The Child. This book is okay but the story has no surprises or unexpected twists. If you read thrillers at all you already know what’s going to happen 🤷🏼‍♂️ Big audiobook cast - they do a good job. Are you spoiled for good books by all of the great books? #thesuspect #fionabarton #susanduerden #fionahardingham #nicholasguysmith #katherinemcewan #penguinaudiobooks #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller https://www.instagram.com/p/CQyZc5KrGQm/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am so excited about all the new releases this week. It’s a thriller lovers paradise! It also makes for a very nice start to the week. . 🔍 . THE SUSPECT by Fiona Barton releases tomorrow! I really enjoyed reading The Child and The Widow so I have no doubt that The Suspect will be just as great. . 🔍 . Thank you to @berkleypub for sending me an early copy! . 💬 Is this book on your tbr list? . 🔍 . Goodreads description: . The police belonged to another world – the world they saw on the television or in the papers. Not theirs. When two eighteen-year-old girls go missing on their gap year in Thailand, their families are thrust into the international spotlight: desperate, bereft and frantic with worry. Journalist Kate Waters always does everything she can to be first to the story, first with the exclusive, first to discover the truth – and this time is no exception. But she can’t help but think of her own son, who she hasn’t seen in two years since he left home to go traveling. This time it’s personal. And as the case of the missing girls unfolds, they will all find that even this far away, danger can lie closer to home than you might think . . . . #fionabarton #berkleypub #thesuspect #berkleybooks #newrelease #newbooks #internationalkidnapping #wintermood #jennblogsbooks #bookpage #readersofinsta #flatlayforever #mybookfeatures #libraryofinstagram #bookfeaturepage #ilovebooks #booksbooksbooks #bookaesthetic #booktography #thebookstagram #booktoday #scentpopcandles https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs6xuVFFUst/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u0z2pk6ucbnp

Alright, so to kick it off with the first novel on my blog i read The Widow by Fiona Barton. this physiological thriller is about a women named Jean Taylor, who loses her husband, Glen Taylor to a horrible car accident.(where he gets hit by a bus in the first chapter). Prior to the accident , 4 years earlier, a little girl, by the name of Bella, goes missing from her yard after she was last seen playing by her self, un-watched. The incident sparks interest in the london polices eye and a police search is then started in search of Bella. Ahhh, there is so many thrilling pieces to this book that i want to mention but i can’t because then i’ll spoil the book for everyone. all i have to say is this is a must-read for any thriller fans out there. 10/10 recommend. had me on my toes throughout the whole novel and the ending blew me outta my socks and left me with my mouth wide open, shocked.

Does The Widow know more than she lets on?

Ordinarily I’m not a reader of psychological thrillers. Historical fiction is more my thing. And I had already started reading another book when I received an email from my local library that my copy of The Widow by Fiona Barton was ready to download. I was anxious to dive into The Widowso I put the other book aside. Two days later I was finished. I really enjoyed Barton’s style of writing and…
