Un thriller psicológico hipnótico. Una zambullida a la parte más oscura y frágil del ser humano.
Connie despierta cada día en la habitación de un hospital psiquiátrico. No sabe cómo, no sabe por qué. No guarda ningún recuerdo de los motivos que la llevaron allí.
La única visita que recibe es la de su exmarido. Ni su madre, ni sus hijos, ni una amiga. Ni siquiera Ness, tiempo atrás la persona a quien podía confesar todos sus secretos. Ninguno de ellos quiere venir. Quizá ninguno de ellos pueda.
Es tarea de la psicóloga forense Emma Robinson arrojar algo de luz sobre la oscurecida memoria de Connie. Porque algo sucedió en el pasado. Porque algo hizo que todo se torciera. Porque después de aquello su vida cambió para siempre. Porque entonces aprendió que crecer es también enfrentarse a nuestros mayores miedos. Que la locura puede aguardar al otro lado de la puerta. Que las horas dentro de un reloj entierran a veces la más terrible de las verdades.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A haunting, edge-of-your-seat debut psychological thriller about a woman who has been institutionalized for a heinous crime, and the psychiatrist assigned to her case who must uncover the truth beneath the madness.
How close do you get before it’s too late…?
Working as a dedicated forensic psychiatrist for many years, Emma is not shocked so easily. Then she is assigned to work with Connie, a wife and mother accused of a despicable crime. Connie is suffering from dissociative amnesia—or at least seems to be.
Now it is up to Emma to decide whether Connie can stand trial for her sins. But there is something about Connie that inexorably pulls Emma into her orbit. Perhaps it is the way she seems to see right through Emma, speaking to Emma’s deepest insecurities about her life, marriage, and her own tragic past. And soon Emma begins to understand how Connie’s complicated marriage and toxic relationship with her beautiful best friend Ness could have driven Connie to snap—or maybe, she is simply getting too close to a woman who is unforgivable…
Alternating between the two women’s points of view, before and after Connie’s breakdown, Too Close is a masterfully written page turner about the powerful—yet dangerous—closeness between women.
