‘Crazy, sexy, cool: Caroline Kepnes gets better – and Joe Goldberg gets worse – with every book’ ERIN KELLY
´Caroline Kepnes writes with such malevolent energy, such dark grace and such ink-black humour. An utterly unique character and an utterly unique writer, in a marriage made somewhere between heaven and hell’ RICHARD OSMAN
´Fiendish, fast-paced, and very funny´ PAULA HAWKINS
´Another dark, thrilling, and blackly hilarious adventure from everyone´s favourite murderer´ CLAIRE MCGOWAN
´I absolutely loved it. It’s completely addictive, razor-sharp writing from Kepnes. Internet creeping at its most darkly humorous. Joe’s back, and this time it’s definitely real love´ CATHERINE STEADMAN
‘Caroline Kepnes must be some kind of storytelling sorcerer. How else can Joe Goldberg — stalker, creep, multiple-murderer, blamer of everyone else but himself, a “long overdue book, the one you never thought was coming” — be such an entertaining narrator? Even Tom Ripley, Patricia Highsmith’s famously amoral character (a clear inspiration for Kepnes), could be enjoyed at a third-person remove, unlike the in-your-face immediacy of Joe’s blinkered perspective . . . brilliant’ New York Times
JOE GOLDBERG IS BACK. AND HE´S GOING TO START A FAMILY – EVEN IF IT KILLS HIM . . .
Joe Goldberg is done with cities, done with the muck and the posers, done with Love. Now, he´s saying hello to nature, to simple pleasures on a cosy island in the Pacific Northwest. For the first time in a long time, he can just breathe.
He gets a job at the local library – he does know a thing or two about books – and that´s where he meets her: Mary Kay DiMarco. Librarian. Joe won´t meddle, he will not obsess. He´ll win her the old fashioned way . . . by providing a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand. Over time, they´ll both heal their wounds and begin their happily ever after in this sleepy town.
The trouble is . . . Mary Kay already has a life. She´s a mother. She´s a friend. She´s . . . busy.
True love can only triumph if both people are willing to make room for the real thing. Joe cleared his decks. He´s ready. And hopefully, with his encouragement and undying support, Mary Kay will do the right thing and make room for him.
