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

Product Information

I was thoroughly entertained and although there is a lot of logistically challengingly scenes and implausibilities, it is the author’s artistic licence to do this and on this occasion it worked. As a parent I totally ‘got’ the raw emotions at discovering your child is missing and not knowing whether they are safe. “All Her Fault” is a rollercoaster of a story that was cleverly plotted and I enjoyed the book enough to know I’d be happy to read more by this author in the future. I’d also definitely recommend this novel as an addictive summer read for mystery thriller readers of all ages.

To get rid of the - er, cooties. You see, Burris, the other children might catch them, and you wouldn't want that, would you ?'

About this book

After supper, Atticus sat down with the paper and called, `Scout, ready to read?' The Lord sent me more than I could bear, and I went to the front porch. Atticus followed me. When she squinted down at me the tiny lines around her eyes deepened. 'There's some folks who don't eat like us,' she whis¬pered fiercely, 'but you ain't called on to contradict 'em at the table when they don't. That boy's yo' comp'ny and if he wants to eat up the table-cloth you let him, you hear?' Jem seemed to have little fear of Boo Radley now that Walter and I walked beside him. Indeed, Jem grew boastful: 'I went all the way up to the house once,' he said to Walter .

When Walter caught up with us, Jem made pleasant conversa¬tion with him. 'A hain't lives there,' he said cordially, pointing to the Radley house. 'Ever hear about him, Walter?' 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. 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. El tema en sí no es novedoso: la desaparición de un menor, pero sí la manera de estructurar la historia y crear una trama estable e inteligente. El inicio es algo lento para mi gusto, pero entiendo que es la presentación de los personajes y su desarrollo emocional en la trama. A partir de la segunda parte es imposible soltar el libro y en la tercera, mejor tener tiempo porque querréis leerla del tirón. 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.La trama y su desarrollo. Es una trama inteligente. Está dividida en tres partes que a su vez se subdividen en capítulos cortos. Cada uno de ellos pone el foco en una de las tres mujeres protagonistas, Marissa, Jenny o Irene. La acción comienza en noviembre de 2018. La mayoría de los capítulos se sitúan en ese momento. Entre ellos, otros que se retrotraen en el tiempo hasta un margen de cinco meses atrás, que es cuando comenzaron a gestarse los hechos. Este combinar el presente con esos momentos del pasado cumple su función. La autora maneja bien los tiempos; la intriga se mantiene inalterada de principio a fin. El ritmo sin ser frenético no se hace lento. By the time we reached our front steps Walter had forgotten he was a Cunningham . Jem ran to the kitchen and asked Cal¬purnia to set an extra plate, we had company. Atticus greeted Walter and began a discussion about crops neither Jem nor I could follow.
