a dizzying Gothic whodunit.
” –New York Times Book Review Bestselling author Riley Sager returns with a Gothic chiller about a young caregiver assigned to work for a woman accused of a Lizzie Borden-like massacre decades earlier.
At seventeen, Lenora Hope Hung her sister with a rope Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929.
While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it.
Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.
Stabbed her father with a knife Took her mother’s happy life It’s now 1983, and home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives at a decaying Hope’s End to care for Lenora after her previous nurse fled in the middle of the night.
In her seventies and confined to a wheelchair, Lenora was rendered mute by a series of strokes and can only communicate with Kit by tapping out sentences on an old typewriter.
One night, Lenora uses it to make a tantalizing offer–I want to tell you everything.
“It wasn’t me,” Lenora said But she’s the only one not dead As Kit helps Lenora write about the events leading to the Hope family massacre, it becomes clear there’s more to the tale than people know.
But when new details about her predecessor’s departure come to light, Kit starts to suspect Lenora might not be telling the complete truth–and that the seemingly harmless woman in her care could be far more dangerous than she first thought.
中文简介:
《纽约时报》即时畅销书 被《华盛顿邮报》、《波士顿环球报》、《今日美国》、《奥普拉》、《Paste》、《Country Living》、《Good Housekeeping》和《Nerd Daily》评为夏季必看图书“推进……一部令人眼花缭乱的哥特式侦探小说”。
——《纽约时报》书评 畅销书作家莱利·萨格带着一部哥特式冷门回归，讲述了一位年轻的看护者被指派为一名被指控在几十年前实施了类似莉齐·波登大屠杀的妇女工作的故事。
1929 年的一个血腥夜晚，十七岁的莱诺拉·霍普 (Lenora Hope) 用绳子吊死了她的妹妹。
1929 年的一个血腥夜晚，霍普一家的谋杀案震惊了缅因州海岸。
现在，这已成为校园里的口号。
虽然大多数人都认为 17 岁的莱诺拉对此负有责任，但警方却始终无法查明真相。
来证明这一点。
除了在杀戮后否认之外，她从未公开谈论过那天晚上，也没有踏出发生大屠杀的悬崖边豪宅“希望之端”。
用刀刺伤了她的父亲，夺走了她母亲的幸福生活现在是 1983 年，在莱诺拉的前任护士半夜逃跑后，家庭保健助理基特·麦克迪尔来到破败的希望之角照顾她。
七十多岁的莱诺拉只能坐在轮椅上，一系列的中风导致她变得哑口无言，只能通过在一台旧打字机上敲出句子来与基特交流。
一天晚上，莱诺拉用它提出了一个诱人的提议——我想告诉你一切。
“不是我，”莱诺拉说，但她是唯一一个没有死的人。
随着基特帮助莱诺拉写下导致霍普家族大屠杀的事件，很明显，这个故事的内容比人们所知的要多。
但当有关她前任离职的新细节曝光后，基特开始怀疑莱诺拉可能没有说出全部真相，而她照顾的这个看似无害的女人可能比她最初想象的要危险得多。
