De tal muerto, tal astilla (Serie Aurora Roe Teagarden #Volumen 6)
by Charlaine HarrisUn nuevo caso de la exitosa serie de Aurora Roe Teagarden. «En ese instante ni lo sospechaba, pero un día tan absolutamente corriente estaba a punto de ir espectacularmente mal». La vida de Roe Teagarden parece haberse serenado. Su matrimonio con Martin va bien, ha recuperado su trabajo en la biblioteca de Lawrenceton y no se ha topado con ningún cadáver en bastante tiempo. Pero una tarde, el hombre que le trae la leña enloquece en su jardín y Roe presiente que se trata del comienzo de una sucesión de episodios desagradables. Muy pronto, sus sospechas se confirman. Regina, la sobrina de Martin, aparece con un bebé que nadie sabía que había tenido. En seguida, la joven desaparece dejando atrás al niño y a su marido, asesinado. Para encontrarla, Roe y Martin vuelven sobre los pasos de Regina conduciendo desde el soleado estado de Georgia hasta el nevado Ohio donde encontrarán un nido de oscuros secretos familiares. Secretos que harán peligrar sus vidas. Reseñas:«Roe Teagarden es tan capaz y potencialmente tan compleja como Cordelia Gray, de P. D. James».Publishers Weekly «Locuaz, desenfadada y a veces graciosa, con un final feroz, impactante y conmovedor. Un acierto de Harris».Kirkus Reviews «Un relato adictivo... Harris mezcla sus temas más oscuros con elementos de novela cozy con destreza y garbo».Publishers Weekly «Escrito de manera competente. [...] Harris tiende una emboscada al lector con un final sorprendente que produce el impacto de la caída de Sherlock Holmes a las cataratas deReichenbach».Booklist «Agradezco mucho cuando un libro me atrapa de tal manera que no puedo parar de leer, y este lo ha hecho. Todo el libro me ha mantenido en tensión, y el final ha sido de infarto, con giros muy interesantes y alguna sorpresa».Blog El torreón de Hika «De tal muerto, tal astilla es uno de los libros más intensos de esta excelente serie de misterio».Yolandi Sfestos Otherworldly Tales «Más fresca y atípica que otros misterios que he leído últimamente».The Washington Post Book World «La novela se lee de un tirón, la intriga se desarrolla con acierto y, por encima de todo, destaca el humor y la naturalidad con el que Roe relata sus aventuras».Blog Me gustan los libros «Harris imprime en esta novela, especialmente en la conclusión, un giro más oscuro que en los libros precedentes, y la atmósfera literaria de la novela adquiere un fuerte tono dramático».Revista Krítica

De vierde nakomeling
by Sylvia Hendriks Allison MaruskaBoekbeschrijving Wanneer Michelle een telefoontje krijgt van een historicus uit Richmond, ziet ze de kans op een broodnodig avontuur schoon. Het enige wat ze moet doen is het vinden van een eeuwenoude sleutel. Drie anderen - een gitarist, een ingenieur en een gepensioneerde - ontvangen vergelijkbare telefoontjes. Elke familie heeft een sleutel tot een vier-slots kluis, begraven gevonden in een gerechtsgebouw in Virginia, hoewel hun relatie net zo mysterieus is als de kluis zelf. Hun voorouders zouden geen wisselwerking hebben gehad, hadden geen duidelijke reden om de kluis te begraven, en zouden niet later zijn verdwenen. Hun sleutels dragend, komen Michelle en de andere afstammelingen in één punt samen in de gerechtsgebouw kelder en openen de kluis, de waarheid over hun voorouders onthullend - een waarheid vreemder, meer dodelijk, en mogelijk de wereld meer veranderend dan elk van hen had kunnen voorstellen. Nu is het aan hen om hun ontdekking uit de verkeerde handen te houden.
