Mord i kulisserna

En av Englands mest hyllade deckarförfattare för första gången på svenska
»En Agatha Christie-inspirerad pusseldeckare där man får klura ordentligt. Underbart!« Monica Lindgren
»Slutar med en tappad haka.« Bibbloagneta
»Mord i kulisserna är en sådan bok som är nästintill omöjlig att lägga ifrån sig när man väl börjat läsa.« Just Another Chapter
I den sömniga småstaden Lower Lockwood sätter amatörteatergruppen upp Arthur Millers Alla mina söner – samtidigt som hela bygden mobiliseras för insamlingen Hjälp Poppy bli frisk, till förmån för en tvååring med en sällsynt hjärntumör. Snart flödar mejl, sms, affischer och inlägg – och med dem växer misstankar, konflikter och sprickor i fasaderna. När en person hittas död och en annan hamnar bakom galler är tragedin ett faktum. Men något skaver. Två unga juridikstudenter får ett tjockt kuvert av en framstående brittisk stjärnadvokat och ombeds »läsa allt – från början«. Genom enbart dokument – e-post, chattar, cirkulär, urklipp och bilagor – tvingas de (och läsaren) lägga pusslet: Vem ljuger? Vem spelar? Och vad döljer sig egentligen bakom kulisserna?I översättning av Sanna Gillberg.
JANICE HALLETT är en bästsäljande brittisk författare med en rad deckare bakom sig som fått henne att kallas en Agatha Christie för 2000-talet. Mord i kulisserna [The Appeal] är den första av hennes böcker som kommer ut på svenska, och den första av två böcker som utspelar sig i den fiktiva småstaden Lower Lockwood.
»Liknar ingen annan bok jag har läst.« Bläddrat
»Den här boken fick mig ovanligt engagerad! Starka känslor, lite extra klurande och ett riktigt bra läsdriv.« Trettio sidor
»En unik bok.« Beckas bokhylla

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Named a Best Book of 2022 by The New York Times, Air Mail, and more! “[W]itty, original…a delight.” —The New York Times Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lisa Jewell, this international bestseller and “dazzlingly clever” (The Sunday Times, London) murder mystery follows a community rallying around a sick child—but when escalating lies lead to a dead body, everyone is a suspect.The Fairway Players, a local theatre group, is in the midst of rehearsals when tragedy strikes the family of director Martin Hayward and his wife Helen, the play’s star. Their young granddaughter has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, and with an experimental treatment costing a tremendous sum, their castmates rally to raise the money to give her a chance at survival. But not everybody is convinced of the experimental treatment’s efficacy—nor of the good intentions of those involved. As tension grows within the community, things come to a shocking head at the explosive dress rehearsal. The next day, a dead body is found, and soon, an arrest is made. In the run-up to the trial, two young lawyers sift through the material—emails, messages, letters—with a growing suspicion that the killer may be hiding in plain sight. The evidence is all there, between the lines, waiting to be uncovered. A wholly modern and gripping take on the epistolary novel, The Appeal is a “daring…clever, and funny” (The Times, London) debut for fans of Richard Osman and Lucy Foley.
