Juste avant la nuit
Summary
Huis clos sur l'île de Wight. Lors des funérailles de leur mère, Jess retrouve sa sœur Emily, perdue de vue depuis près de quinze ans. Emily lui propose de venir habiter chez elle et son mari, James, dans leur maison de l'île de Wight. Le soir du Nouvel An, le couple part faire la fête et laisse Jess avec leur bébé, Daisy. Lorsqu'ils rentrent, au petit matin, la police est là. Daisy a disparu. Le cauchemar commence. Bien vite, le commissaire Jacobs, en charge de l'enquête, relève des incohérences dans les récits des uns et des autres. Entre secrets et mensonges, les relations entre les protagonistes se fissurent peu à peu au cours d'un huis clos éprouvant. Que s'est-il réellement passé cette nuit-là ? En virtuose du suspense psychologique, Isabel Ashdown joue un jeu pervers avec son lecteur, qui suspecte les personnages les uns après les autres, avant qu'un des nombreux rebondissements vienne relancer la donne. Une révélation !
