An enthralling psychological thriller that spins one woman's seemingly good fortune and another woman's mysterious fate through a kaleidoscope of duplicity, death, and deception. Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life. The request seems odd, even intrusive - and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating. Emma Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant - and it does. Jane After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street, she is instantly drawn to the space - and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home's previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror as the girl before.

When Finn Hensen gets a call from his sister Jess to say their father has died, neither is heartbroken. Their parents divorced many years ago, after which their father, Jimmy, continued to live a bohemian lifestyle in sun-soaked Mallorca, while his family returned to the UK.

The pair agree that Finn should go to Mallorca and tactfully take possession of their inheritance. When he arrives, however, Finn is surprised to find that Finca Siquia has been completely transformed into a chic Mediterranean bolthole by Ruensa - along with her twenty-seven-year-old daughter, Roze. The Spanish police, meanwhile, are asking awkward questions about Jimmy's death . . . Are Ruensa and Roze the helpless victims of circumstance? Or will they stop at nothing to get Finca Siquia for themselves?

And when Anna's adoptive parents seem to overreact to the fact she contacted them at all, Susie becomes convinced that Anna needs her help. But is Anna's own behaviour simply what you'd expect from someone recovering from a traumatic childhood? Or are there other secrets at play here - secrets Susie has also been hiding for the last fifteen years?

Vă rog să faceți o listă cu toate bunurile pe care le considerați esențiale pentru viața dumneavoastră. Cererea pare ciudată, chiar indiscretă, iar pentru cele două femei care răspund, consecințele sunt devastatoare. EMMA Traumatizată de o spargere la vechea locuință, Emma își dorește un loc nou în care să trăiască. Dar nici unul dintre apartamentele pe care le vizionează nu este sigur sau la un preț accesibil. Până la One Folgate Street. Casa e o capodoperă arhitecturală: design minimalist din piatră de culoare deschisă, sticlă și tavane înalte. Dar există anumite reguli. Arhitectul enigmatic care a proiectat casa păstrează un control total asupra ei: fără cărți, fără perne aruncate, fără fotografii sau obiecte personale de orice fel. Spațiul e destinat să-l transforme pe cel care-l ocupă – și asta se și întâmplă. JANE După o tragedie personală, Jane simte nevoia unui nou început.

Plin de răsturnări de situație și cu un final care nu trebuie ratat!“ - Lisa Gardner „Suspans psihologic de cea mai bună calitate… un thriller foarte ingenios.“ - The Bookseller
