A Menina do Bosque
by S.K. TremayneELA VÊ SOMBRAS. ELA VÊ ALGUÉM POR ENTRE AS ÁRVORES. SERÁ TUDO IMAGINAÇÃO?Um thriller arrepiante com uma narrativa empolgante e misteriosa.

A Menina do Papá
by Don Canaan Joana H. S. LopesNo primeiro volume da série de Mistérios de Liz Roberts,"Menina Bonita", percebemos que durante 20 anos, desde os 13 anos de idade até se casar, Laura Bedrosian tratava literalmente do seu pai, Armen. Mas Laura decide que tem de viver a sua própria vida e que os cuidados não podem continuar. Decide abandonar o seu pai, agora afetado pela doença de Alzheimer, numa feira popular sem qualquer documento de identificação, apenas um pedaço de papel no bolso onde constava escrito "O meu nome é Larry". O caso é entregue à detetive Liz Roberts, que havia sido abandonada pela sua mãe biológica, e ao investigar a identidade de Larry e na sua tentativa de localizar Laura, descobre vários segredos há muito escondidos em que alguns deles serão revelados em "Menina Bonita" e outros em "O Médico Dedicado ou o Despachante de Bebés". Os críticos dizem que a história "atrai-nos com apenas algumas pistas em relação ao seu destino ao mesmo tempo que se constrói um clímax insano impossível de adivinhar... senti-me imediatamente levado para dentro da história. As descrições eram tão vívidas, conseguia ver as personagens e o cenário na minha cabeça no desenrolar da história. O autor persistentemente me conduzia pelas suas voltas e reviravoltas e os seus mistérios numa história cativante". "Além de ser um excelente drama, este livro também pode ser considerado um ótimo thriller psicológico, (porque) cada personagem desta história tem os seus próprios problemas psicológicos".
A Menina Que Morreu
by Ragnar JónassonA nova voz do policial nórdico 3 milhões de livros vendidos. Melhor Policial do Ano — The Sunday Times Tudo o que Una quer é ser professora, mas, até ao momento, tem sido incapaz de manter um emprego em Reiquiavique. Sem poupanças, sem vida amorosa e assombrada pelo suicídio do pai, a perspetiva de passar mais um inverno fechada no seu minúsculo apartamento parece-lhe insuportável. Assim, fazer as malas e mudar-se para Skálar, uma pequena aldeia piscatória com dez pessoas situada no extremo norte da Islândia, parece-lhe ser um baixo preço a pagar pela hipótese de endireitar a sua vida e voltar a ensinar. No entanto, à medida que a escuridão de um inverno rigoroso vai caindo sobre a aldeia, Una dá por si a passar cada vez mais tempo no pequeno sótão que alugou, a beber para esquecer a solidão, e assaltada por aparições de uma menina de vestido branco a cantar uma canção de embalar, que, noite após noite, a fazem acordar sobressaltada. E quando uma tragédia repentina traz ao de cima algo que os habitantes de Skálar procuram esconder a todo o custo, a inquietação de Una leva-a a desenterrar uma verdade que se manteve oculta durante gerações.Os elogios da crítica: «Um romance inquietante envolto num ambiente claustrofóbico. Um thriller superior.» — Publishers Weekly «Um dos herdeiros da coroa de Agatha Christie.» — The Daily Telegraph Sobre A Menina Que Morreu: «Um thriller intenso e envolvente.

Um thriller superior.» Publishers Weekly «Uma tempestade perfeita de perigo e intriga.» New York Post«Uma história de fantasmas arrepiante e misteriosa, com um toque de policial noir.» Kirkus Reviews «Cinco estrelas. Com a sua habitual prosa elegante e o seu sentido único de lugar, Ragnar Jónasson tece lentamente uma história assombrosa, com um final arrepiante.» Sunday Express«À medida que, a cada página e com toda a mestria, o autor desenvolve a intriga e o suspense, o mistério que envolve a aldeia de Skálar irá agarrar os leitores tanto quanto agarrou Una, num fogo lento de temor e inquietude.» BookPage «Um dos herdeiros da coroa de Agatha Christie.» The Daily Telegraph

But when Cabot arrives in Ar, it is a city rife with doubt, dissension, and treason. To whom shall the letters be delivered, and whom can he trust? Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire.
