A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Kate Priddy was always a bit neurotic, but after an ex-boyfriend kidnapped her and nearly ended her life, her bouts of anxiety began exploding into full-blown panic attacks. When Corbin Dell, a cousin in Boston, suggests the two temporarily swap apartments, Kate agrees, hoping that time away in a new place will help her overcome the past traumas of her life.

But at Corbin’s grand apartment on Beacon Hill, Kate makes a shocking discovery: his next-door neighbor, a young woman named Audrey, has been murdered. When the police question her about Corbin, a shaken Kate has few answers, but many questions of her own—and her curiosity intensifies when she meets Alan, a handsome tenant who lives across the courtyard. Alan saw Corbin surreptitiously come and go from Audrey’s place, yet Corbin’s denied knowing her. Then, Kate runs into a man claiming to be the dead woman’s old boyfriend, who insists Corbin did the deed.

Corbin proclaims his innocence and calms Kate’s nerves . . . until she comes across disturbing objects hidden in the apartment. Could Corbin really be a killer? And what about Alan? Kate finds herself drawn to this appealing man who seems so sincere, but she isn’t sure. Jet-lagged and emotionally fragile, her imagination full of dark images, Kate can barely trust herself, let alone a stranger she’s just met. Yet the danger Kate imagines isn’t nearly as twisted as what is about to happen. When her every fear becomes very real.

And much, much closer than she thinks.

Told from multiple points of view, Her Every Fear is a scintillating, edgy novel rich with Peter Swanson’s chilling insight into the darkest corners of the human psyche and his virtuosic skill for plotting that have propelled him into the highest ranks of suspense, in the tradition of such greats as Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins, Patricia Highsmith, and James M. Cain.

Revue de presse

The skillfully conjured Boston winter creates the perfect atmosphere for breeding paranoia, which kicks into high gear with the introduction of Cherney s Rear Window-like flashbacks. Swanson introduces a delicious monster-under-the-bed creepiness to the expected top-notch characterization and steadily mounting anxiety. --Booklist (starred review)"

I loved it! A brilliantly original premise, delivered with panache. --Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go on Her Every Fear"

Peter Swanson s third thriller cracks to life in the opening pages. His characters are engaging, and the reader is treated to multiple points of view... The payoff for the reader is an excellent whodunit with a magical appeal for the mystery thriller lover. --Seattle Book Review on Her Every Fear"

Psychological thriller devotees should block time to read Swanson s (The Kind Worth Killing) novel in one sitting, preferably in the daylight. Readers can expect the hairs on their necks to stand straight up as they are consumed with a full-blown case of heebie-jeebies. --Library Journal (starred review)"

A compelling tale of murder and deception that keeps the reader turning pages. Kate is a sympathetic heroine who has seen too much, but rises above it. --Authorlink.com on Her Every Fear"

[It] has movie adaptation written all over it. It has an alluring location, a fragile yet resilient protagonist and a thoroughly Hitchcockian storyline, replete with the requisite false starts and plot twists High tension, lightning-fast pacing and psychological drama in spades. --BookPage on Her Every Fear"
