But when her teenage son Lucas brings a new friend home, cracks start to appear in Ellen’s perfect family life. Kieran Watts isn’t like Lucas. He’s rude, obnoxious and reckless, and Ellen can only watch in despair as her son falls deeper under his influence.

Then Ellen’s whole world implodes and she embarks on an obsessive need to get revenge.

Kritikerstimmen

'It twists and it turns and it twists again. The Heights by Louise Candlish is the very definition of a “just one more chapter” novel. I devoured it. And it’s full of such great writing about the ferocity of maternal love'
(Hannah Beckerman, author of If Only I Could Tell You)
‘Impossible to resist, impossible to predict, impossible to put down… this is an author at the top of her game’
(Erin Kelly, author of Watch Her Fall)
'There’s nothing quite so chilling as the roar of mother tiger love. Louise Candlish had my heart in my throat. Dizzily dark. Dangerous. Deadly' (Jane Corry, author of The Lies We Tell)
'No one creates middle-class characters we love to hate quite like Louise Candlish. I’d expected her to do this, and to provide a great sense of place, and twists that would have been rifling through the book to see how they’d been done. What I wasn’t expecting was that this thriller of obsessive revenge and intense parental grief would tug at my heartstrings. Smart, addictive, twisting, surprising. Highly recommended' (Sarah Vaughan, author of Little Disasters)

Langweilig. Nicht empfehlenswert. Schade ums Geld. Auch die Sprecherin schläft fast ein. Platte, unsympathische Charaktere.

Utterly booooring!
