E quando nos deparamos com a noticias do TrillerFiest - a primeira conferencia para entusiastas de thrilers quisemos saber mais...
Nomes conhecidos como Sandra Brown, Karin Slaughter, Lee Child e muitos mais marcaram presença.
Mas houve uma autora sobressaiu e foi distinguida na categoria "Best Novel Hardcover", chama-se Megan Abbott e o seu livro "A febre" (no original "The Fever").
Parabéns Megan Aboot
(Livros e Marcadores)
Estou a torcer para que brevemente seja publicado em Portugal.
Vou deixar-vos alguns comentários sobre a obra da autora:
"The
Fever holds true to its title: It's dark, disturbing, strangely
beautiful and utterly unshakeable. Megan Abbott has created a
mesmerizing, modern portrait of teenage life today: Brutal crushes,
competing allegiances and first-bloom sensuality, all magnified by the
rush and crush of technology."
Gillian Flynn
"A psychologically astute thriller...Abbott's latest is not only a page-turning mystery -- it's also a close look at teen girls' ferocious rivalries and intense bonds."
"Megan Abbott's chilling new novel...turns the frothy world of high-school cheerleading into something truly menacing."
"Abbott has become expert at revealing truths we thought we knew but didn't, delivered in prose that is by turns elegant and incantatory."
"One of the most exciting and original voices of her generation."
"Deft, intelligent and enthralling."
"Megan Abbott writes with total authority and an almost desperate intensity; [she] grabs hold of you and won't let go."
"Megan Abbott captures the essence of being thirteen - all its magic, its intensity, its headlong power and its terrible vulnerability - and wraps it in a story that's taut, unflinching and very hard to put down."
