Produktbeschreibung
From international bestselling master of suspense Nicci French comes a hair-raising locked-room thriller about a group of old university friends with a killer in their midst. Old friends, new secrets, one deadly reunion. Tyler Green, convicted of murdering his friend Leo at a student house party in 1993, has been released after almost three decades in prison. He has always protested his innocence. On a warm evening in London, Tyler summons eight of his university friends who were present on that fateful night. Is it just a reunion - or something else? With wine—and accusations— flowing liberally, the reunion descends into violent chaos, and one friend will end the night with their throat slit in the upstairs bedroom…the same way that Leo’s was in 1993. When Detective Inspector Maud O’Connor gets called to investigate, she has her own doubts about Tyler’s guilt, despite what his old friends, the rest of the Metropolitan Police Force, and even the Home Secretary would like her to believe….

Rezensionen
"Gripping . . . In the rich vein of Kate Atkinson." - Joseph Finder, New York Times Bestselling Author
"Not only a psychological suspense novel, but also a fascinating exploration of family, loss and grief... The novel is a compelling exploration of the corrosive effects of loss and grief." - Irish Examiner on Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?
"One of their very best. Compelling, moving and beautifully written." - The Observer on Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?
"Fans of domestic thrillers will be rewarded." - Publishers Weekly
"Razor-sharp writing by French expertly amps the tension." - People
"Unforgettable. Psychological dynamite." - Alan Bradley
"Fans of psychological thrillers with seemingly vulnerable but empowered women who take drastic action to save their families will love this nerve-jangling story." - Library Journal (starred review) on The Unheard
"Nicci French writes opiate novels, addictive and dangerous...Enter if you dare." - A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window, on House of Correction
"Part Nancy Drew, part "Twelve Angry Men," full of unexpected turns and surprisingly taut courtroom scenes. . . . Immensely satisfying." - The New York Times Book Review
"French cleverly plays on that suspense by doling out Maud's plan and clues in tantalizing bits. The wolf hides in sheep's clothing here, to great effect." - Booklist on Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?
"Husband and wife writing duo Nicci French are always a must read, and their latest, Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?, is one of their very best. Compelling, moving and beautifully written, it's about how real people are affected by (and driven to) murder.... An absolute winner." - Guardian (UK)
"Fans of the husband and wife writing team, Sean French and Nicci Gerrard, will need no encouragement to seize on this latest example of their rare talent. It's their 25th crime collaboration since 1997 and shows off their exceptional skills as storytellers. . . . The French magic is at work again." - Daily Mail (UK) on Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?
"The Nicci French duo's 25th novel ranks among their best: the triple crime plot is satisfying in itself, but also serves as a framework for a richly layered social or family novel in which themes (parenthood's joys and pains, grief's lingering effects, the Suffolk constabulary's alleged enduring sexism and ineptitude) are explored in 1990, then re-explored from other angles 30-plus years later." - Sunday Times (UK) on Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?
