Una escritora de misterio. Un asesinato idéntico al de su último manuscrito. Pero solo su editora y su familia lo han leído. Emilia Ward, la escritora de las exitosas novelas de misterio protagonizadas por la policia Miranda Moody, vive feliz en un barrio acomodado de Londres con su marido y sus dos hijos, una adolescente de su primer matrimonio y un niño pequeño del segundo. Pero cuando Emilia esta ultimando los detalles de su ultima novela, la vida da un giro inquietante: un incidente sacado directamente de la trama de uno de sus libros ocurre en la vida real. Una coincidencia inquietante, tal vez. Hasta que suceda una vez, y otra mas. Y, a continuacion, alguien es asesinado siguiendo el mismo modus operandi que ella ha descrito en el manuscrito que esta escribiendo, pero hay un problema: solo lo ha leido su editora y sus mas allegados. ¿Que mente retorcida se oculta tras los hechos? ¿Y si Emilia y su familia son los siguientes? Suspense del bueno. Imposible de soltar Shari Lapena Me ha encantado. Richard Osman, autor del bestseller El club del Crimen de los Jueves
