Thriller donde no es un investigación al uso. La desaparición de un niño y saltos en el tiempo del presente al pasado para conocer lo sucedido. Los policias son personajes secundarios y se centra más en la vida de los protagonistas. This book is excellent. Pacy and clever and intriguing. Eithne Shortall, author of THREE LITTLE TRUTHS With a genuinely terrifying opening, fans of Big Little Lies will enjoy this slice of twisty domestic noir with a distinct south Dublin flavour. Sinead Crowley, author of ONE BAD TURN Si bien los hilos que maneja Andrea Mara son complejos, no es una novela de sacar el conejo de la chistera. Ya en la primera parte nos da una pista de por dónde va la cosa. Como es lógico no es excesivamente evidente, pero ahí está. Otra cosa es que la veamos o la sepamos interpretar. De hecho, creo, que, con la traducción del inglés, se pierde una parte de dicha pista. Si reparamos en ella el porqué de los hechos está claro. A partir de ahí es ir encajando las piezas que la autora nos va dejando. No nos lo pone fácil. Es un auténtico puzle. Me lo he pasado fenomenal haciendo hipótesis. No hay personaje que no guarde un secreto. Nos hace sospechar de todo y de todos. Anyways, we kinda meander about for a bit until the ending, which is all a lil convenient and OTT. I can't say more without spoilies. I wouldn't rush out to get this one. Go for her newest instead. It's solid af.

Irish Times Top Ten bestselling author Andrea Mara, has written her UK debut “All Her Fault” - a mystery domestic thriller where secrets and lies can rapidly rip a family apart when they start to be revealed. Andrea Mara's tight plotting and convincing characterisation make her books both compelling and intriguing. - Liz Nugent, author of LYING IN WAIT Overall, this is such a good novel and one I’d have no hesitation in recommending to fans of the genre. Andrea Mara is a must read for me from now on! The final twists were great, although some were a bit of a stretch for plausibility. I always find the suspension of belief when reading a thriller has to be strong, otherwise one can feel disappointed and frustrated frequently! What a cleverly crafted story this is. Focusing on four different women, we are slowly drip fed snippets of information revealing the secrets at the heart of ordinary lives. The story is extremely well written and told from different characters perspectives. The characters are complex. I was hooked from the first chapter, hoping that Milo would be found safe and sound. Filled with red herrings, I found this book hard to put down. I highly recommend this book.

All Her Fault by Andrea Mara | Waterstones

Jenny is a strange one. There's something not quite right with her but I just don't know what. She almost throws herself into the dead the dead centre of the drama its almost as if she wants it all to be about her because I think maybe that's why she did of it could if just been pure guilt. Unfortunately the pacing was just a lil too slow and the writing a lil too basique for this to be a Honda Civic Reliable. It has a nice cast of clearly-drawn characters (albeit a lil one dimensional) but seems to be missing the necessary police presence (similar to No One Saw a Thing). Also the characters acted a lil obtuse to further the plot, which is a pet peeve of mine. For example, when Marissa finds out X might have been in a seggsual cahoots with the baddie, she wonders if she should call the police or not. GIRL?????? YES. Andrea Mara writes tension well. As a reader you are constantly kept on tenterhooks as you are slowly drip-fed snippets of information that send you off down various rabbit holes, almost inevitably reaching the very wrong conclusion. All Her Fault is Andrea Mara’s UK debut and, although her books are very much based in an Irish setting, the subject matter could be anywhere. Losing a child in a supermarket or at a playground is a very traumatic event in any parent’s life, but for your child to be stolen, to go missing, is just incomprehensible. Marissa’s descent into complete disarray is wonderfully captured by Andrea Mara. Her life spirals totally out of her control as the truth slowly reveals itself and we witness her fall from grace within the community. Where once she was the popular one, now it’s a question of ‘How could she? What was she thinking?’ Out of the woodwork, the trolls throw out comments about the working mother and about trusting children with strangers. Plenty of finger pointing and whispering surrounds Marissa as the once friendly neighbours begin to gossip and churn out possible scenarios.Someone has taken Marissa's child; the fun in this fiendishly twisting narrative is trying to work out who that might be. Irish Independent The Irvines, who are quite well off await a ransom demand that never comes and Marissa’s anguish is palpable. Jenny is feeling guilty as it is her nanny who is to blame and the local gossip mongers are vicious in their assessment that Jenny didn’t do her due diligence in choosing this nanny even though she did. Jenny does what she can to help the Irvines to assuage her feelings of guilt but there is no progress. Marissa’s pain and anguish is tangible, and the community’s reaction is perfectly depicted throughout. Blame and speculation are rife as the rumour mill sets itself in motion. Small towns will always breed gossip and Kerryglen soaks up the drama in spades. The school gate politics, the clique behaviour is evident in most communities today and Andrea Mara expertly brings to life all the personalities and chatter that accompany them. What follows is a race against time to find Milo before something terrible happens and uncover a chaos of lies and deceit that leads Marissa to question everything and everyone she knows.
