Über diesen Titel

A WATERSTONES THRILLER OF THE MONTH

WHAT DARK SECRETS WAIT TO BE UNCOVERED WHEN YOU CHECK IN TO THE VILLA ROSA…?

The scintillating new novel from the author of The End of Mr Y

‘Clever, emotionally resonant, packed with startling twists and dark turns and very funny indeed, this is fiction roaring on all cylinders.’ Guardian

'Gloriously dark and tangled . . . clever . . . I highly recommend it.' Observer

'A dark, twisty, savagely humorous plunge into a cauldron of toxic relationships . . . as well as a mystery loaded with menace, this is a smart, layered, stinging look at power and its abuse.' The Times

One of the Daily Telegraph's '20 Best New Crime Thrillers to Read this Summer', 2024

Still reeling from the chaos of their wedding, Evelyn and Richard arrive on an idyllic Greek island for their honeymoon. It’s the end of the season and out at sea a storm is brewing.

They check in to an exclusive hotel, the Villa Rosa, where the proprietor Isabella — a strangely intense woman of indeterminate accent — flirts outrageously with Richard while treating Evelyn with a rudeness bordering on contempt. Isabella tells them the story of 'the sleepwalkers': a couple who stayed at the hotel the year before and drowned in a tragic and unexplained accident. It starts to feel like the entire island is obsessed with 'the sleepwalkers', but what at first seems like a fun tale to tell before bed quickly evolves into a living nightmare.

Caught in a web of deception and intrigue, where nothing and nobody are quite what they seem, Evelyn and Richard discover that their island paradise may in fact be hell on earth and that their only means of escape is to confront dark truths about themselves and those they love.

Exhilarating, suspenseful, and subversively funny, in The Sleepwalkers Thomas takes elements of Daphne Du Maurier and Patricia Highsmith and blends them with her own unique sensibility to create an unforgettable thriller of rare intelligence that cements her reputation as the most exciting and original author of her generation.

Die beiden Sprecher waren sehr überzeugend und besonders die Stimme der Protagonstin Evelyn.
Die Geschichte ist raffiniert und nimmt viele Wendungen. Man kommt sehr gut rein in die Geschichte und erfährt gerade so viel, dass man auf jeden Fall weiterlesen will. ich mag Scarlett Thomas' ungeschönten und teils provozierenden Schreibstil. Keine simple Urlaubslektüre!

Clever und fesselnd
