Synopsis

Sally is watching the news with her husband when she hears a name she ought not to recognise: Mark Bretherick. Last year, a work trip Sally had planned was cancelled at the last minute. Desperate for a break from her busy life juggling work and a young family, Sally didn't tell her husband that the trip had fallen through. Instead, she booked a week off work and treated herself to a secret holiday. All she wanted was a bit of peace - some time to herself - but it didn't work out that way. Because Sally met a man - Mark Bretherick. All the details are the same: where he lives, his job, his wife Geraldine and daughter Lucy. Except that the man on the news is a man Sally has never seen before. And Geraldine and Lucy Bretherick are both dead...

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

For those who demand emotional intelligence and literary verve from their thrillers, Sophie Hannah is the writer of choice. THE POINT OF RESCUE, her third, combines a creepily irresistible page-turner with an exploration of motherhood's taboos. (Guardian)

Tension, thy name is Sophie Hannah. In THE POINT OF RESCUE, murder, false identity and infidelity are thet tools Hannah deploys to create a plausible but edge-of-your-seat read. (Independent)

The tension is screwed ever tighter until the final shocking outcome. (Daily Express)

Hannah doesn't allow the tension to slacken for a second in this addictive, brilliantly chilling thriller. (Book of the Month, Marie Claire)

'MUST READ: An intriguing tale!' (Daily Telegraph, Australia)

Praise for Sophie Hannah (:)

Superbly creepy. . .her plots are brilliant (Guardian)

'The terror created by Hannah will continue to lurk on the edges of your sub-conscious long after you've put this book down' (The News of the World)

Hannah has a keen ear for her characters' foibles, snobberies and hypocrisies, and the observation remains acute throughout. (Observer)

'A haunting story told with bewitching skill' (Scotsman)
