An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found here. It's the wedding of the year. But someone won't survive it. On a remote island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate the wedding of Jules Keegan and Will Slater. Will is a rising television star, handsome and charming. Jules is a smart, ambitious magazine publisher. Though the sea is a little choppy and the cell service spotty, their wedding is everything you'd expect of a young power couple: designer dress, four-tiered cake, boutique whiskey, vintage champagne. Every detail has been curated to perfection. All that's left to orchestrate is the happiness. But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. It's not long after the cake is cut and the champagne popped that resentments and petty jealousies come out. Worse yet, the latest barometer reading shows the weather has shifted from FAIR to CHANGEABLE, and dark clouds are looming overhead. Everyone on the island has a secret. Everyone has a motive. And someone won't leave this wedding alive...

From London to Corsica to Paris--as a young woman pursues the truth about her late mother, two captivating love stories unfurl. Kate Darling's enigmatic mother--a once-famous ballerina--has passed away, leaving Kate bereft. When her grandmother falls ill and bequeaths to Kate a small portrait of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Kate's mother, Kate uncovers a mystery that may upend everything she thought she knew. Kate's journey to find the true identity of the woman in the portrait takes her to some of the world's most iconic and indulgent locales, revealing a love story that began in the wild 1920s and was disrupted by war and could now spark new love for Kate. Alternating between Kate's present-day hunt and voices from the past, THE BOOK OF LOST AND FOUND casts light on family secrets and love-both lost and found.

An evocative love story set along the Italian Riviera about a group of charismatic stars who all have secrets and pasts they try desperately -- and dangerously -- to hide. Rome, 1953: Hal, an itinerant journalist flailing in the post-war darkness, has come to the Eternal City to lose himself and to seek absolution for the thing that haunts him. One evening he finds himself on the steps of a palazzo, walking into a world of privilege and light. Here, on a rooftop above the city, he meets the mysterious Stella. Hal and Stella are from different worlds, but their connection is magnetic. Together, they escape the crowded party and imagine a different life, even if it's just for a night. Yet Stella vanishes all too quickly, and Hal is certain their paths won't cross again. But a year later they are unexpectedly thrown together, after Hal receives an invitation he cannot resist. An Italian Contessa asks him to assist on a trip of a lifetime -- acting as a reporter on a tremendous yacht, skimming its way along the Italian coast toward Cannes film festival, the most famous artists and movie stars of the day gathered to promote a new film. Of all the luminaries aboard -- an Italian ingénue, an American star, a reclusive director -- only one holds Hal in Stella. And while each has a past that belies the gilded surface, Stella has the most to hide. As Hal's obsession with Stella grows, he becomes determined to bring back the girl she once was, the girl who's been confined to history. An irresistibly entertaining and atmospheric novel set in some of the world's most glamorous locales, The Invitation is a sultry love story about the ways in which the secrets of the past stay with us -- no matter how much we try to escape them.

An epic tale that vividly captures the turmoil of forbidden love, set against the rich backdrop of a legendary city steeped in history and myth… The perfect read for fans of the sweeping historical novels of Santa Montefiore & Victoria Hislop. Constantinople, 1921 Each day Nur gazes across the waters of the Bosphorus to her childhood home, a grand white house, nestled on the opposite bank. Memories float on the breeze – the fragrance of the fig trees, the saffron sunsets of languid summer evenings. But now those days are dead. The house has been transformed into an army hospital, it is a prize of war in the hands of the British. And as Nur weaves through the streets carrying the embroideries that have become her livelihood, Constantinople swarms with Allied soldiers – a reminder of how far her she and her city have fallen. The most precious thing in Nur’s new life is the orphan in her care – a boy with a terrible secret. When he falls dangerously ill Nur’s world becomes entwined with the enemy’s. She must return to where she grew up, and plead for help from Medical Officer George Monroe. As the lines between enemy and friend become fainter, a new danger emerges – something even more threatening than the lingering shadow of war.

Oudejaarsavond. Een villa in de Schotse wildernis. Negen oude vrienden checken in, maar één van hen zal de nacht niet overleven Negen vrienden vieren oudejaarsavond in een idyllische villa in de Schotse Hooglanden. Het lijkt de perfecte plek om hun gehaaste Londense leven achter zich te laten en van elkaars gezelschap te genieten. Het ontbreekt de vrienden aan niets: ze hebben een prachtig uitzicht, een knappend haardvuur, een provisiekast vol eten en liters champagne. Maar wat ze ook hebben is geheimen voor elkaar, langgekoesterde jaloezie en bergen opgekropte woede. Terwijl de sneeuw buiten valt, wordt de spanning in de villa ondraaglijk. Als de lucht op nieuwjaarsdag opklaart is een van de gasten dood. En één van de anderen is de moordenaar. Maar wie?

Secrets. Lies. Murder. Let the festivities begin... It’s the opening night of The Manor, and no expense, small or large, has been spared. The infinity pool sparkles; crystal pouches for guests’ healing have been placed in the Seaside Cottages and Woodland Hutches; the “Manor Mule” cocktail (grapefruit, ginger, vodka, and a dash of CBD oil) is being poured with a heavy hand. Everyone is wearing linen. But under the burning midsummer sun, darkness stirs. Old friends and enemies circulate among the guests. Just outside the Manor’s immaculately kept grounds, an ancient forest bristles with secrets. And the Sunday morning of opening weekend, the local police are called. Something’s not right with the guests. There’s been a fire. A body’s been discovered. THE FOUNDER * THE HUSBAND * THE MYSTERY GUEST * THE KITCHEN HELP It all began with a secret, fifteen years ago. Now the past has crashed the party. And it’ll end in murder at… The Midnight Feast.

Everyone's invited...everyone's a suspect...For fans of Ruth Ware and Tana French, a shivery, atmospheric, page-turning novel of psychological suspense in the tradition of Agatha Christie, in which a group of old college friends are snowed in at a hunting lodge . . . and murder and mayhem ensue.All of them are friends. One of them is a killer.During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of thirtysomething friends from Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students ten years ago. For this vacation, they’ve chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands—the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves. They arrive on December 30th, just before a historic blizzard seals the lodge off from the outside world.Two days later, on New Year’s Day, one of them is dead.The trip began innocently enough: admiring the stunning if foreboding scenery, champagne in front of a crackling fire, and reminiscences about the past. But after a decade, the weight of secret resentments has grown too heavy for the group’s tenuous nostalgia to bear. Amid the boisterous revelry of New Year’s Eve, the cord holding them together snaps. Now one of them is dead . . . and another of them did it. Keep your friends close, the old adage goes. But just how close is too close?

Dette er årets frydefullt spennende julegys! Lucy Foley har skrevet en moderne psykologisk thriller med inspirasjon fra de tradisjonelle britiske mordmysteriene. «Jaktselskapet er enormt stemningsfull og overraskende helt frem til siste side. Jeg elsket den!» Lucinda Riley Den aller vakreste Det perfekte paret Den ustabile De nybakte foreldrene Den stille Den vellykkede Den nyankomne Ni venner møtes til romjul- og nyttårsfeiring på en avsidesliggende, men luksuriøs jakteiendom i det skotske høylandet. Det er først bare sjarmerende da snøen begynner å lave ned og de må belage seg på noen dager uten kontakt med omverdenen. Men gamle uoverensstemmelser og hemmeligheter har en ubehagelig tendens til å trenge seg opp til overflaten når gjengen ikke kan slippe unna hverandre. Og denne gangen blir det stygt – så stygt at ikke før har klokken slått tolv på nyttårsaften, så blir en av de ni funnet død i snøen. Det er definitivt ikke noen ulykke, men et mord blant venner.

Todo ano, nove amigos comemoram o réveillon juntos. Desta vez, apenas oito vão voltar para a casa depois da festa. Programado para acontecer em um cenário idílico, o réveillon que Miranda, Katie e os outros amigos que conheceram na faculdade passarão juntos este ano promete refeições deliciosas regadas a champanhe, música, jogos e conversas descontraídas. No entanto, as tensões começam já na viagem de trem ― o grupo não tem mais nada em comum além de um passado de convivência, feridas jamais cicatrizadas e segredos potencialmente destrutivos. E então, em meio à grande festa da última noite do ano, o fio que os mantém unidos enfim arrebenta. No dia seguinte, alguém está morto e uma forte nevasca impede a vinda do resgate. Ninguém pode entrar. Ninguém pode sair. Nem o assassino. Contada em flashbacks a partir das perspectivas dos vários personagens, a história deste malfadado encontro é um daqueles mistérios de assassinato cheio de tensão e de ritmo perfeito. Com uma trama assustadora e brilhantemente construída, A última festa planta no leitor a semente da dúvida: será que velhos amigos são sempre os melhores amigos?

On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed. But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast. And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Guest List comes a new locked room mystery, set in a Paris apartment building in which every resident has something to hide… Jess needs a fresh start. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances.

The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has. Ben’s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it’s starting to look like it’s Ben’s future that’s in question.

Fiecare are un secret. Fiecare are un motiv. Pe coasta bătută de vânturi a Irlandei, invitații se adună pentru nunta anului. Prieteni vechi. Dușmănii din trecut. Familii fericite. Invidii ascunse. Treisprezece invitați. Un cadavru. Decorul e pregătit pentru nunta lui Jules Keegan cu Will Slater. Peisajul e spectaculos, planificarea minuțioasă, atmosfera încărcată de nostalgie în timp ce invitații închină în cinstea cuplurilor celor mai longevive. Totuși sub aparența fericirii, secrete întunecate încep să se ivească și dușmănii vechi ies la suprafață. Iar tortul de nuntă abia a fost tăiat, când cineva este găsit mort. O furtună se dezlănțuie asupra insulei, ținându-i pe toți captivi – în timp ce ucigașul umblă nestingherit printre invitați. Începe cu o petrecere. Se va sfârși cu o crimă. Lucy Foley este autoarea celebrului roman The Hunting Party, bestseller # 1 Sunday Times și Irish Times. Ideea pentru cel mai recent roman al său i-a venit cu prilejul unei călătorii în Connemara, pe coasta de vest a Irlandei, de unde se trage jumătate din familia ei. Impresionată de frumusețea sălbatică a insulelor din largul coastei – decorul perfect pentru o nuntă și totuși periculos de izolat – Lucy a început să lucreze la schița unui nou roman polițist: o insulă de pe care nu poți pleca, oameni adunându-se laolaltă, emoții care răbufnesc. Astfel a luat naștere Lista de invitați. Înainte de a se dedica total scrisului, Lucy Foley a lucrat ca editor de ficțiune. Romanele ei au fost traduse în 19 limbi, iar articolele sale au apărut în publicații precum Sunday Times Style, Grazia, ES Magazine, Vogue US, Elle, Tatler și Marie Claire.

Σ’ ένα μικρό νησί στα ανοιχτά των ανεμοδαρμένων ιρλανδικών ακτών καταφθάνουν εκλεκτοί καλεσμένοι για τον γάμο της χρονιάς ανάμεσα στην επιτυχημένη επιχειρηματία Τζουλς Κίγκαν και στον γοητευτικό τηλεοπτικό αστέρα Γουίλ Σλέιτερ. Καθώς η σαμπάνια ρέει άφθονη και αρχίζει το ξεφάντωμα, παλιές διαφορές και κρυμμένες ζήλιες αναδύονται και μπλέκονται περίεργα με τις νοσταλγικές αναμνήσεις και τις ευχές για βίο ανθόσπαρτο, διαταράσσοντας επικίνδυνα τη γιορταστική, χαρούμενη ατμόσφαιρα. Λίγο μετά την κοπή της τούρτας, οι κραυγές μιας έντρομης σερβιτόρας, που μόλις έχει αντικρίσει ένα αποτρόπαιο θέαμα, θα μετατρέψουν την όμορφη βραδιά σε μια νύχτα τρόμου. Και μια θύελλα που ξεσπάει όλη της τη μανία στο μικρό νησί κρατάει παγιδευμένους τους καλεσμένους. Όλοι έχουν κάποιο μυστικό. Πολλοί έχουν κίνητρο και ένας δεν θα φύγει από το νησί ζωντανός…

SECRETOS. MENTIRAS. UN ASESINATO. QUE EMPIECE LA FIESTA… Es la noche de apertura de La Mansión y no se ha reparado en gastos, ni grandes ni pequeños, para su inauguración. La piscina infinita resplandece; en las Cabañas del Acantilado y las Chocitas del Bosque se obsequia a los huéspedes con bolsitas llenas de cristales de sanación; el cóctel de la casa (hecho con pomelo, jengibre, vodka y una gota de aceite de CBD) se sirve en abundancia. Todo el mundo viste de lino. Sin embargo, más allá de las impecables praderas del hotel se extiende un vetusto bosque erizado de secretos. Los vecinos del pueblo están indignados porque creen que La Mansión se está apoderando del bosque e intenta privatizar la playa, y en los límites de la finca ha habido altercados entre lugareños y empleados del hotel. Corren, además, rumores constantes acerca de una vieja leyenda del folclore pagano (porque tiene que ser una leyenda, ¿no?): los Pájaros Nocturnos, una fuerza vengadora a la que se invoca para que repare los agravios que escapan a la ley. Aunque sin duda en La Mansión todo se ha hecho conforme a la legalidad. El domingo por la mañana, el fin de semana de la inauguración, la policía local recibe un aviso. Ha habido un incendio. Se ha descubierto un cadáver. Algo pasa con los huéspedes. ¿Qué ha ocurrido en La Mansión durante las treinta y seis horas anteriores? ¿Y quién −o qué− es el causante? LA DUEÑA EL MARIDO LA INVITADA MISTERIOSA EL AYUDANTE DE COCINA Todos tienen intenciones ocultas. Todos tienen un pasado. Pero no todos sobrevivirán a la fiesta de medianoche. «La Agatha Christie de la era de Instagram». The Guardian «Una novela de misterio aguda, elegante y sublime. Turbia y divertida, cargada de giros originales y personajes inolvidables, Una fiesta a medianoche es lo mejor de Lucy Foley hasta la fecha». Chris Whitaker, autor del best seller Empezamos por el final «Un thriller atmosférico y cautivador». Nita Prose, autora de los best sellers La camarera y El huésped misterioso «Devoré Una fiesta a medianoche con una sonrisa en los labios. Pocas veces el asesinato ha sido tan retorcidamente entretenido. Tiene todo lo que se puede esperar de una novela de suspense de Lucy un escenario atractivo, un plantel de personajes interesantes retratados con gran sentido del humor, un trasfondo de peligro esotérico y un asesinato sin resolver». Alex Michaelides «Una fiesta a medianoche es el thriller más irresistible de Foley hasta la fecha. Delicioso, rebosante de turbio glamur y giros espectaculares». Lisa Jewell «Todo lo que buscas en un thriller». Harper's Bazaar

Após os best-sellers A última festa e A lista de convidados, também lançados pela Intrínseca, Lucy Foley agora apresenta uma trama instigante sobre uma jovem inglesa que vai à França em busca de um recomeço. Sozinha, sem emprego e sem dinheiro, Jess pede abrigo ao meio-irmão, Ben, que não parece muito animado para recebê-la em seu apartamento em Paris. Quando chega à cidade, Jess descobre que o irmão mora em um lugar que ela jamais imaginaria que ele teria condições de pagar. E o mais intrigante: embora a carteira e as chaves estejam ali, não há nenhum sinal do rapaz. Quanto mais tempo o irmão continua desaparecido, mais Jess tenta seguir seus passos e mais perguntas surgem em sua mente. Os vizinhos formam um grupo bem eclético, mas não são exatamente amigáveis, e em pouco tempo aquela investigação coloca a jovem em situações cada vez mais delicadas. Em meio à sua busca cada vez mais misteriosa e sem saber em quem confiar, Jess acaba construindo relações diversas com os moradores. Mas em um prédio em que as paredes parecem ter segredos sufocados e olhos sempre atentos, a desconfiança pode ultrapassar as raias da paranoia. Ela pode até ter ido para Paris com a intenção de escapar do passado, mas talvez o futuro de seu irmão é que esteja em jogo. Todos são vizinhos. Todos são suspeitos. E todos têm algo a esconder.

Una isla remota. Una invitación por la que morir… En una isla cerca de la ventosa costa de Irlanda, se reúnen los invitados de la boda del año, el enlace entre Jules Keegan y Will Slater.

Zabiłbyś, żeby tam być. Na małej wyspie w Irlandii ma się odbyć idealny ślub. Wszystko jest dopracowane na ostatni guzik, aby zdjęcia dobrze prezentowały się w piśmie dla celebrytów. Ale gdy rozpoczyna się zabawa, wszystko zaczyna się walić jak domek z kart. Sieć telefoniczna przestaje działać, a o wyspę rozbijają się wzburzone fale, odcinając ją od świata. Dawne tajemnice i dobrze ukryta zazdrość wychodzą na światło dzienne. To miała być ceremonia perfekcyjna. A potem znaleziono martwe ciało. Ktoś jednak nie życzył szczęścia młodej parze. Zrobiłbyś wszystko, by tam być?

De la autora superventas de La lista de invitados llega un nuevo “misterio de habitación cerrada” al más puro estilo Agatha Christie, ambientado en un edificio de apartamentos de París en el que cada residente tiene algo que ocultar... Bienvenido al número 12 de la Rue des Amants, un hermoso bloque de apartamentos antiguo, lejos de las luces brillantes de la Torre Eiffel y de las bulliciosas orillas del Sena. Donde nada pasa desapercibido y todos tienen una historia que descubrir. La portera. El amante despreciado. El periodista fisgón. El estudiante ingenuo. El invitado no deseado. Hubo un asesinato aquí anoche. Un misterio se esconde detrás de la puerta del apartamento número tres. ¿Quién tiene la llave? Jess necesita un nuevo comienzo. Está arruinada y sola, y acaba de dejar su trabajo en las circunstancias menos ideales. Su hermanastro Ben no parecía muy emocionado cuando le preguntó si podía quedarse con él durante una breve temporada, pero no le dijo que no, y Jess piensa que las cosas se verán mucho mejor desde París. Solo que cuando llega (a un apartamento muy agradable… ¿realmente puede permitírselo Ben?) él no está allí. Cuanto más tiempo permanece desaparecido Ben, más comienza Jess a indagar en la situación de su hermano y más preguntas tiene. Los vecinos de Ben son un grupo ecléctico y no particularmente amigable. Puede que Jess haya venido a París para escapar de su pasado, pero empieza a parecer que es el futuro de Ben el que está en duda. Todos son vecinos. Todos sospechan. Y todos saben algo que no están contando.
