Nick Cutter The Queen review, recensie en informatie
- “This fast-paced and suspenseful story…is one of the most entertaining novels readers will encounter this year…disturbing on every level…Readers will be engulfed by the story from the moment they open the book, while the echoing hum of what they just experienced will buzz around in their heads long after they finish…Cutter is at the top of his game here, providing an intensely visceral and gripping tale.” (Library Journal)
- “With his breakthrough novel, The Troop, which was one of the most acclaimed horror novels of the last decade, Nick Cutter established himself as a writer of propulsive, muscular, unrelenting journeys into terror. His latest book, The Queen, reaffirms his place as one of the genre’s most entertaining storytellers, delivering a creature feature and the story of a doomed friendship in one unputdownable package…[He] is once again in top form…A must-read for horror fans, for Nick Cutter fans, and for anyone hoping to stay up late with a good scary yarn.” (BookPage)
Flaptekst van de nieuwe thriller van Nick Cutter
Nick cutter returns with a heart-pounding novel of terror about a young woman searching for her missing friend and uncovering a shocking truth.
On a sunny morning in June, Margaret Carpenter wakes up to find a new iPhone on her doorstep. She switches it on to find a text from her best friend, Charity Atwater. The problem is, Charity’s been missing for over a month. Most people in town—even the police—think she’s dead.
Margaret and Charity have been lifelong friends. They share everything, know the most intimate details about one another…except for the destructive secret hidden from them both. A secret that will trigger a chain of events ending in tragedy, bloodshed, and death. And now Charity wants Margaret to know her story—the real story. In a narrative that takes place over one feverish day, Margaret follows a series of increasingly disquieting breadcrumbs as she forges deeper into the mystery of her best friend—a person she never truly knew at all…
