In the Deep

Loreth Anne White

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

I hope you don’t find him. And if you do, I hope he’s dead and that he suffered… Real-estate mogul Martin Cresswell-Smith is the best thing that has ever happened to Ellie. After her daughter’s devastating death, a divorce, and an emotional breakdown, he’s helped her move as far as possible from the grief, the rage, and the monsters of her past. Ellie imagines her new home with Martin in an Australian coastal town will be like living a fairy tale. But behind closed doors is another story—one that ends in Martin’s brutal murder. And Ellie seems almost relieved… Naturally, everyone thinks Mrs. Cresswell-Smith is guilty. Senior Constable Lozza Bianchi has reasonable doubt. She sees evidence of a twisted psychological battle and a couple who seemed to bring out the worst in each other—adultery, abuse, betrayal, and revenge. If anything Ellie says can be believed, that is. As the case takes twist after spiraling twist, Lozza can’t shake the gut instinct that she’s being manipulated. That Ellie is hiding something. That there are secrets yet to surface. Lozza has no idea.

    [Thanks Netgalley for the ebook. This review is my honest opinion but just another opinion, you should read this book and judge it by yourself]
    4-4'5 estrellitas
    Por qué me pido yo estos libros que me tienen sufriendo mientras leo?!??!? Descubrí a esta escritora en Netgalley y aquí me quedé, pegada a ella. No es que sean libros redondos pero tiene un modo de contar la historia que me tiene enganchada por completo. Aquí me he pasado casi todo el tiempo angustiada por una suma de cosas: lo que estaba sufriendo Ellie, la asfixiante ambientación australiana y una especie de sensación de que había algo que no cuadraba (y no me equivocaba, muajajaja). Loreth Anne sabe mantener muy bien la tensión, que va aumentando según avanza el libro y se vuelve más agobiante. Me he pasado todo el libro haciendo conjeturas sobre quién sería el asesino (porque un truculento asesinato es lo que mueve todo) y, por desgracia, mi sospecha temprana era cierta, con lo que el clímax final ha sido un poco descafeinado. De todos modos, esta escritora se guarda un as en la manga que hace que sea ella la que dice la última palabra...
    En fin, un thriller muy decente que me ha tenido muy viciada.
