A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, longlisted for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2018. As heard on BBC Radio 4 Front Row

'The best crime novel I've read in a very long time.' VAL MCDERMID

SNAP DECISIONS CAN BE DANGEROUS . . .

On a stifling summer's day, eleven-year-old Jack and his two sisters sit in their broken-down car, waiting for their mother to come back and rescue them. Jack's in charge, she'd said. I won't be long.

But she doesn't come back. She never comes back. And life as the children know it is changed for ever.

Three years later, Jack is still in charge - of his sisters, of supporting them all, of making sure nobody knows they're alone in the house, and - quite suddenly - of finding out the truth about what happened to his mother. . .

'Snap is the best kind of crime novel. It gives you chills, it makes you think and it touches your heart. I loved it!' SARAH PINBOROUGH, No.1 bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

'Original, pacy and thoroughly entertaining . . . a cracking read.' CLARE MACKINTOSH, bestselling author of I Let You Go

'No one writes crime novels like Belinda Bauer, with a rare blend of darkness, humour and heart. She's a crime writing genius.' C. L. TAYLOR, bestselling author of The Missing

'Intelligent entertainment that keeps you guessing.' Sunday Times Crime Club

'Edgy, original and beautifully written, this suspenseful story is dazzlingly good.' Sunday Mirror

'Belinda Bauer's plots are never anything less than original and unsettling, and Snap is no exception.' Sunday Times

'Spine-chilling, tension-packed gripper.' Woman and Home

'The opening of Snap is one of the most vividly unnerving I have read . . . razor-sharp observation.' Guardian

'Belinda Bauer's fiction teems with life . . . Kate Atkinson used to be the undisputed master of this sort of mixture of the serious, the exciting and the anarchic, but Bauer is now firmly in her class.' Daily Telegraph

"Original, pacy and thoroughly entertaining . . . a cracking read." (Clare Mackintosh, bestselling author of I LET YOU GO)

"If you loved Steven Lamb in Bauer's debut Blacklands you will love Jack Bright in Snap. No one writes crime novels like Belinda Bauer, with such a rare blend of darkness, humour and heart. She's a crime writing genius and no mistake" (C.L Taylor)

"Intelligent entertainment that keeps you guessing" (Sunday Times Crime Club)

"Spine-chilling, tension-packed gripper" (Woman and Home)

"Belinda Bauer is one of the very few really original crime writers of our time . . . The plot is neat and clever, but it is not the stories, the style or the characters alone - though all are good - that set Bauer's work apart. It is an indefinable extra ingredient that makes some books stand out from the crowd. This is one of them." (Literary Review)

"Edgy, original and beautifully written, this suspenseful story is dazzlingly good." (Sunday Mirror)

"Belinda Bauer's plots are never anything less than original and unsettling, and her latest outing is no exception." (Sunday Times)

"The opening of Snap is one of the most vividly unnerving I have read . . . razor-sharp observation." (Guardian)
