If You Knew Her
Summary
From a terrific new voice comes a standout debut thriller in the vein of What She Knew and I Let You Go. A woman in a coma. The man who could save her life - if only he could speak. When young, beautiful Cassie Jensen arrives unconscious to the intensive care ward at St. Catherine's hospital after being struck in a hit-and-run while out walking her dog, chief nurse Alice Marlowe thinks she looks familiar. She starts digging deeper into Cassie's relationships, only to discover something about her patient that she'd been keeping secret from everyone, including her devoted husband and family. Soon Alice finds herself obsessed with her patient's past and future, even willing to put her own career on the line in her single-minded search for answers. Frank, a patient on the same ward who has locked-in syndrome, can hear and see everything around him but cannot speak. Soon he comes to understand that Cassie's life is still in danger. While the police continue to look for clues, only Frank holds the truth, but he's unable to communicate it. As the novel flashes between points of view, the listener will get closer and closer to the truth of who Cassie Jensen was and why she was out on the road that fateful night....

Grace Is Gone
Summary
From the best-selling author of If You Knew Her comes this harrowing tale of suspense - a story ripped from today’s headlines - of a tight-knit English community rocked by the murder of a mother and the mysterious disappearance of her daughter, and the secrets that lie concealed beneath a carefully constructed facade. A small town’s beloved family. A shocking, senseless crime - and the dark secret at the heart of it all. Everyone in Ashford, Cornwall, knows Meg Nichols and her daughter, Grace. Meg has been selflessly caring for Grace for years, and Grace - smiling and optimistic in spite of her many illnesses - adores her mother. So when Meg is found brutally bludgeoned in her bed and her daughter missing, the community is rocked. Meg had lived in terror of her abusive, unstable ex, convinced that he would return to try and kidnap Grace…as he had once before. Now it appears her fear was justified. Jon Katrin, a local journalist, knows he should avoid getting drawn back into this story. The article he wrote about Meg and Grace caused rifts within his marriage and the town. Perhaps if he can help find Grace, he can atone for previous lapses in judgment. The Nichols’ neighbor, Cara - contending with her own guilt over not being a better friend to Grace - becomes an unexpected ally. But in searching for Grace, Jon and Cara uncover anomalies that lead to more and more questions. Through multiple viewpoints and diary entries, the truth about Grace emerges, revealing a tragedy more twisted than anyone could have ever imagined....

La bugia perfetta
Summary
Quando Cassie Jensen arriva nel reparto di terapia intensiva al St Catherine's Hospital, Alice Marlowe, l'infermiera che si occupa delle sue cure, ne rimane inspiegabilmente affascinata. Quella fragile donna è stata trovata gravemente ferita in un canale lungo la strada, investita da un'auto pirata, ma il suo cuore nasconde qualcosa di tormentato e oscuro. Nello stesso reparto, Frank Ashcroft ha appena riaperto gli occhi dopo due mesi di coma. Solo un riflesso nervoso, pensano i medici, ma Alice è convinta che il paziente percepisca e comprenda quanto gli accade intorno. È Frank l'unico testimone dei dialoghi tra Cassie e le persone che vanno a trovarla. È lui a ricostruire nella propria coscienza, ora di nuovo vigile, un quadro di rancori, ossessioni morbose, rapporti familiari deteriorati, e a mettere insieme gli elementi che potrebbero far luce su quanto è accaduto a Cassie quella notte, sul ciglio di quella strada. Ed è Frank l'unico custode di un pericoloso segreto. Ma Frank è paralizzato nel suo letto, del tutto incapace di comunicare... Un impressionante esordio letterario. Un thriller psicologico che vi terrà incollati alle pagine. >> Questo audiobook in edizione integrale vi è offerto in esclusiva per Audible ed è disponibile solamente in formato audio digitale.
