All Her Fault: The breathlessly twisty Sunday Times bestseller everyone is talking about

Product Information

Me han gustado mucho la construcción de los personajes, tanto de los principales como de los secundarios. Marissa y Peter son la pareja triunfadora. La desaparición de su hijo marca para ellos un antes y un después. Marissa llega a la dirección exacta, a la hora acordada, a recoger a su hijo Milo. Es la primera vez que recibe una invitación a jugar con un niño de su nuevo colegio. Pero la mujer que abre la puerta no es la madre que ella esperaba. Tampoco es una niñera. Y Milo no está en esta casa. Así comienza la peor pesadilla de todas las madres y padres. What a cleverly crafted story this is. Focusing on four different women, we are slowly drip fed snippets of information revealing the secrets at the heart of ordinary lives. The story is extremely well written and told from different characters perspectives. The characters are complex. I was hooked from the first chapter, hoping that Milo would be found safe and sound. Filled with red herrings, I found this book hard to put down. I highly recommend this book.

No I can't,' said Atticus. 'I have to make a living. Besides, they'd put me in jail if I kept you at home – dose of magnesia for you tonight and school tomorrow.' The cootie's host showed not the faintest interest in the furore he had wrought. He searched the scalp above his forehead, located his guest and pinched it between his thumb and fore¬finger.Miss Caroline said desperately, 'I was just walking by when it crawled out of his hair ... just crawled out of his hair—' As the police investigate Milo’s disappearance, it’s suspected that his friend’s nanny has taken him. Marissa clings to the hope that she is keeping him safe and looking after him, but things soon begin to take a dark turn. It isn’t clear what the kidnapper’s motive is, and they soon find out that she knows dangerous people. This then begins to suggest that there could be a much more sinister motive. Marissa’s fear comes through very strongly, and I thought that Andrea Mara wrote this very well. Has your other daughter got lost? Been taken by a passing stranger? Or perhaps the culprit is closer to home than you think? No one is telling the truth, and the longer the search continues, the harder she will be to find... Andrea Mara's tight plotting and convincing characterisation make her books both compelling and intriguing.' Liz Nugent, author of Lying in Wait Perhaps Calpurnia sensed that my day had been a grim one; she let me watch her fix supper. 'Shut your eyes and open your mouth and I'll give you a surprise,' she said.

El final es bueno. Marissa se ve enfrentada a una situación imposible y hay que reconocer que la resuelve. No estoy muy segura de que sea la mejor manera, pero desde luego impacta. By the time you get to the next stop, you've convinced yourself that everything will be fine. But you soon start to panic, because there aren't two children waiting for you on the platform. There's only one. Jenny es el arquetipo de la esposa a la que su marido y suegra culpabilizan de forma implacable por trabajar fuera de casa y tener una niñera. Es reticente a tener un segundo bebé, ya que tal y como le dice a su esposo en un momento en el que estalla, tener dos hijos representará para ella el doble de trabajo y para él quedarse igual que está. Jem and I were accustomed to our father's last-will-and¬testament diction, and we were at all times free to interrupt Atticus for a translation when it was beyond our understanding.Unfortunately the pacing was just a lil too slow and the writing a lil too basique for this to be a Honda Civic Reliable. It has a nice cast of clearly-drawn characters (albeit a lil one dimensional) but seems to be missing the necessary police presence (similar to No One Saw a Thing). Also the characters acted a lil obtuse to further the plot, which is a pet peeve of mine. For example, when Marissa finds out X might have been in a seggsual cahoots with the baddie, she wonders if she should call the police or not. GIRL?????? YES. Overall, this is such a good novel and one I’d have no hesitation in recommending to fans of the genre. Andrea Mara is a must read for me from now on! You can't do that, Scout,' Atticus said. 'Sometimes it's better to bend the law a little in special cases. In your case, the law remains rigid. So to school you must go.'
