Product Information

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry: The Ultimate Guide to Celebrating Christmas with the Best Drinks Books On The Shelves Sharp, sophisticated, and full of suspense - everything you need for a perfect summer read. Cara Hunter, bestselling author of CLOSE TO HOME Someone has taken Marissa's child; the fun in this fiendishly twisting narrative is trying to work out who that might be. Irish Independent La trama y su desarrollo. Es una trama inteligente. Está dividida en tres partes que a su vez se subdividen en capítulos cortos. Cada uno de ellos pone el foco en una de las tres mujeres protagonistas, Marissa, Jenny o Irene. La acción comienza en noviembre de 2018. La mayoría de los capítulos se sitúan en ese momento. Entre ellos, otros que se retrotraen en el tiempo hasta un margen de cinco meses atrás, que es cuando comenzaron a gestarse los hechos. Este combinar el presente con esos momentos del pasado cumple su función. La autora maneja bien los tiempos; la intriga se mantiene inalterada de principio a fin. El ritmo sin ser frenético no se hace lento.

The police are called in and a search begins. The nanny is the first port of call, but she is supposed to be off for that day, hence the convenience for Marissa of the arranged playdate. Could it be a simple mistake? Did the nanny take Milo? As Marissa starts to grasp the enormity of her situation, she experiences a fear like never before. Who would take Milo? And why? All Her Fault drops you straight into a nightmare scenario that plays on some of our worst fears. The delicious equivalent of a binge-watch, I powered through this book in one sitting. Think Big Little Lies meets The Undoing - I had a blast accusing everyone of everything, as each chapter introduced a new twist or revelation to undo my prior conviction. A fantastic, immersive read, proving that people behaving badly really do make for the best company! Jacqueline Bublitz, author of BEFORE YOU KNEW MY NAME

Retailers:

This book is excellent. Pacy and clever and intriguing. Eithne Shortall, author of THREE LITTLE TRUTHS I also appreciated the addition of Irene – we don’t always get her perspective in a thriller and while I found some of the events involving her relative a bit unbelievable, I thought Irene was a solid character, which added a lot to the story. . Ditto Adeline: This added pressure added to the tension of the book.

What follows is a race against time to find Milo before something terrible happens and uncover a chaos of lies and deceit that leads Marissa to question everything and everyone she knows. History Makers: Female Writers Dominate the 2023 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award ShortlistI was thoroughly entertained and although there is a lot of logistically challengingly scenes and implausibilities, it is the author’s artistic licence to do this and on this occasion it worked. As a parent I totally ‘got’ the raw emotions at discovering your child is missing and not knowing whether they are safe. “All Her Fault” is a rollercoaster of a story that was cleverly plotted and I enjoyed the book enough to know I’d be happy to read more by this author in the future. I’d also definitely recommend this novel as an addictive summer read for mystery thriller readers of all ages. Have you ever been punched in the face by a book? Well, I've been repeatedly and unapologetically punched in the face by this one and I have to say I loved every minute of it! Irene es la madre tóxica por excelencia. No ve nada positivo en una hija que no quiso tener y a la que siempre ha considerado una carga. Es mezquina e interesada, dispuesta a vender su historia al mejor postor. Clues are dropped here and there like breadcrumbs by the author as the story unfolds, and I was prepared for red herrings, but still I was kept guessing to the end. The author manages to maintain a level of tension and intrigue throughout.

Es difícil explicarlo sin hacer ningún spoiler. Digamos que no me ha convencido que se considerase el secuestro del niño como la única vía para solucionar todo el lío. La autora nos explica las razones y no digo que no tengan su lógica. También digo, que siempre que un escritor necesita explicar algo así, es porque entiende, que ese es el punto más débil y cuestionable de la trama. En este caso, los motivos que nos ofrece me habrían parecido más plausibles si el secuestro hubiera sido el resultado de un impulso. Al no ser este el caso y con semejante premeditación, me cuesta creer que los autores ni siquiera considerasen la otra opción que tenían, más sencilla y viable. The Irvines, who are quite well off await a ransom demand that never comes and Marissa’s anguish is palpable. Jenny is feeling guilty as it is her nanny who is to blame and the local gossip mongers are vicious in their assessment that Jenny didn’t do her due diligence in choosing this nanny even though she did. Jenny does what she can to help the Irvines to assuage her feelings of guilt but there is no progress. A heart-stopping tale . . . Mara's stunningly original plot has its roots in the powerful emotions aroused by motherhood, leading to heartbreak and murder. Sunday Times, Crime Book of the MonthAll Her Fault is a brilliant premise, wonderfully executed . . . a taut, superbly designed suspense novel. Business Post Si bien los hilos que maneja Andrea Mara son complejos, no es una novela de sacar el conejo de la chistera. Ya en la primera parte nos da una pista de por dónde va la cosa. Como es lógico no es excesivamente evidente, pero ahí está. Otra cosa es que la veamos o la sepamos interpretar. De hecho, creo, que, con la traducción del inglés, se pierde una parte de dicha pista. Si reparamos en ella el porqué de los hechos está claro. A partir de ahí es ir encajando las piezas que la autora nos va dejando. No nos lo pone fácil. Es un auténtico puzle. Me lo he pasado fenomenal haciendo hipótesis. No hay personaje que no guarde un secreto. Nos hace sospechar de todo y de todos.
