Tres hermanos
by Elizabeth George¿Descubrirá el inspector de la policía de Londres Thomas Lynley qué hay detrás del brutal asesinato de su esposa? Ness, Joel y Toby afrontan un nuevo cambio en sus vidas. Su excéntrica abuela, dispuesta a eludir sus responsabilidades, decide abandonarlos frente a la puerta de la casa de su hija, la tía de los niños, que vive en la periferia marginal de Londres. La vida de los tres hermanos, no ha sido fácil hasta ese momento, y no lo será a partir de ahora. Ness es una adolescente desagradable que juguetea con las drogas y con la delincuencia. El más pequeño, Toby, es un niño con problemas de aprendizaje y que vive anclado en la dependencia que siente por su hermano Joel, un poco mayor que él y que parece asumir la responsabilidad de mantener unida a su extraña familia.Tal ambiente, como prueba la autora del libro, enmarca el camino que se ha de desandar para hallar el origen del mal, para encontrar el principio casi invisible de sucesos terribles que un día coparán las primeras páginas de los periódicos. En su momento, el asesinato de Helen Lynley ocupará la atención de todos, pero ¿cuál fue el verdadero origen del crimen?La presente novela, desde un planteamiento original y arriesgado que la autora resuelve con maestría, propone la "deconstrucción" de un asesinato. Elizabeth George plantea que al revés no interesa tanto qué pasará tras el asesinato, pues éste el punto final del libro; lo que se ha de buscar es el origen, lo que se ha de averiguar es aquéllo que provocó que alguien disparara a una mujer de buena posición en un callejón de un barrio de Londres. Ahí, en el principio, se esconde siempre la explicación del trauma que arrastra el inspector Lynley, protagonista de la serie.
Tres noches
by Austin WrightAplaudida ya como un clásico, Tres noches es un vertiginoso thriller psicológico acerca del matrimonio, el amor y la venganza. Tras quince años sin noticias de Edward, Susan recibe un paquete con el manuscrito de una novela que él acaba de escribir. Casada con un cirujano y madre de dos hijos, Susan empieza la lectura de Animales nocturnos y se adentra en la historia de Tony Hastings, un profesor de matemáticas que, una noche, viajando con su mujer y su hija, sufre un encuentro en la carretera que afectará a su vida para siempre. Durante tres noches consecutivas, Susan lee con fascinación un relato que reaviva su pasado sentimental, cuestiona su presente y se cierne amenazador sobre su futuro. Así, las historias personales de Susan y Tony se suceden, proyectándose la una sobre la otra y tejiendo una trama de suspense que nos mantiene en vilo hasta el final. Igual que Susan, nopodemos dejar de leer, acuciados por saber qué sucede con los protagonistas.
