Utterly immersive with brilliant storytelling, it s smart, scary and ingeniously moreish. Steph Broadribb, author of Death in the Sunshine A deliciously dark mystery about warring sisters, their duplicitous husbands, and a hike that ends in murder. With a cast of gloriously unlikeable characters, any one of them could be the murderer, and any of them could be dead. Chock full of secrets, lies, resentment and revenge, The Hike kept me guessing until the last page. CL Taylor, author of The Guilty Couple I devoured The Hike in a couple of days. Smart, pacy, and packed full of twists that ll keep you guessing. A really fantastic read. Lisa Gray, author of the Jessica Shaw series Susi Holliday transports us to an engrossing, vertigo-inducing alpine setting with a deliciously remorseless cast of characters that will have you constantly watching your back! Heleen Kist, author of What I Hid From You I finished this at 5.30am, and could barely tear myself away from this thriller about two couples who go on a deadly hike.

Fiona Cummins, author of Into the Dark Dark and devious, with an ending that completely wrong-footed me!

Green, author of The Whisper House An expertly paced, relentless thriller. Love the red herrings and it genuinely kept me guessing right up until the last page. John Marrs, author of What Lies Between Us So pacy and compelling, and a great twist that I totally didn t see coming. It deserves to be huge. Louise Voss, author of His Other Woman A dark and gripping tale about toxic sisters and marital disharmony, set on an alpine hike. It s a wonder these people chose to go on holiday together and by the end most of them will have wished they hadn t. With more twists and turns than a mountain path, this story will have you turning the pages at breakneck speed and keep you guessing every step of the way. Amanda Jennings, author of The Haven Pacy, addictive and filled with suspense, The Hike kept me guessing until the final page. Each treacherous stride along the mountain trail led me deeper into a tangled web of deception, among unscrupulous characters hiding dark secrets. A twisty tale of revenge, lies and murder!

-Titulo Original : Unspeakable Things-Fabricante : Thomas & Mercer-Descripcion Original: Review An Amazon Best Book of 2020: Mysteries & Thrillers A 2020 Goodreads Choice Awards Semifinalist: Best Mystery & Thriller “Set in Lilydale, Minn., in the 1980s…the suspense never wavers in this page-turner.” Publishers Weekly “The atmospheric suspense novel is haunting because it’s narrated from the point of view of a 13-year-old, an age that should be more innocent but often isn’t. Even more chilling, it’s based on real-life incidents. Lourey may be known for comic capers (March of Crimes), but this tense novel combines the best of a coming-of-age story with suspense and an unforgettable young narrator.” Library Journal “Part suspense, part coming-of-age, Jess Lourey’s Unspeakable Things is a story of creeping dread, about childhood when you know the monster under your bed is real. A novel that clings to you long after the last page.” Lori Rader-Day, Edgar Award-nominated author of Under a Dark Sky “A noose of a novel that tightens by inches. The squirming tension comes from every direction including the ones that are supposed to be safe. I felt complicit as I read, as if at any moment I stopped I would be abandoning Cassie, alone, in the dark, straining to listen and fearing to hear.” Marcus Sakey, bestselling author of Brilliance “Unspeakable Things is an absolutely riveting novel about the poisonous secrets buried deep in towns and families. Jess Lourey has created a story that will chill you to the bone and a main character who will break your heart wide open.” Lou Berney, Edgar Award-winning author of November Road “Inspired by a true story, Unspeakable Things crackles with authenticity, humanity, and humor. The novel reminded me of To Kill A Mockingbird and The Marsh King’s Daughter. Highly recommended.” Mark Sullivan, bestselling author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky “Jess Lourey does a masterful job building tension and dread, but her greatest asset in Unspeakable Things is Cassie an arresting narrator you identify with, root for, and desperately want to protect. This is a book that will stick with you long after you’ve torn through it.” Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse “With Unspeakable Things, Jess Lourey has managed the near-impossible, crafting a mystery as harrowing as it is tender, as gut-wrenching as it is lyrical. There is real darkness here, a creeping, inescapable dread that more than once had me looking over my own shoulder. But at its heart beats the irrepressible and irresistible spirit of its 12-year-old heroine, a young woman so bright and vital and brave she kept even the fiercest monsters at bay. This is a book that will stay with me for a long time.” Elizabeth Little, Los Angeles Times bestselling author of Dear Daughter and Pretty as a Picture Inspired by a terrifying true story from the author’s hometown, a heart-pounding novel of suspense about a small Minnesota community where nothing is as quiet or as safe as it seems.

Yet this one trumps them all: a serial killer is strangling young women and dumping their bodies in the steep, forested ravines of southern Indiana. With each victim, the killer leaves a calling card: a stone figurine carved like the spirit stones found among the primitive tribes of Papua New Guinea the same tribes from whom Prusik narrowly escaped a decade earlier while doing field research. The similarity is eerie and, frankly, terrifying; Prusik still carries the scars from the tribesmen’s attack. But is the connection real? Or have the dark details of Prusik’s nightmares finally wormed their way into her waking life?
