Dos muertes súbitas y misteriosas en idénticas circunstancias.
Un thriller psicológico absorbente que Reese Witherspoon seleccionó para su club lectura.
Maya no está pasando por su mejor momento. Acaba de dejar un medicamento que regula los ataques de pánico, sufre síndrome de abstinencia, lleva días sin dormir y bebe demasiado. Por eso, cuando frente a la pantalla de su móvil revive lo ocurrido el verano de sus diecisiete años no sabe si puede confiar en la lucidez de su mente. Las imágenes de seguridad de una cafetería registran la muerte súbita de una joven. Junto a ella está Frank Bellamy. Ni siquiera se han rozado, pero Maya sabe que él es el responsable, igual que lo fue de la muerte de Aubrey siete años atrás.
Maya no tiene otra salida que investigar sobre los enigmas del pasado para poder resolver los del presente. Y para ello tendrá que regresar a la cabaña del bosque y adentrarse en los recuerdos que la aterrorizan.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A Reese's Book Club pick
An instant New York Times bestseller!
“This is an absolute, can’t-put-it-down thriller. . . . It’s truly a wild ride that had me flying through chapter after chapter—which I think is the perfect way to kick off your year of reading.”—Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club Pick January 2023)
Armed with only hazy memories, a woman who long ago witnessed her friend’s sudden, mysterious death, and has since spent her life trying to forget, sets out to track down answers. What she uncovers, deep in the woods, is hardly to be believed. . . .
Maya was a high school senior when her best friend, Aubrey, dropped dead in front of the enigmatic man named Frank whom they’d been spending time with all summer.
Seven years later, Maya lives in Boston with a loving boyfriend and is kicking the secret addiction that has allowed her to cope with what happened years ago, the gaps in her memories, and the lost time that she can’t account for. But her past comes rushing back when she comes across a recent YouTube video in which a young woman suddenly keels over and dies in a diner while sitting across from none other than Frank. Plunged into the trauma that has defined her life, Maya heads to her Berkshires hometown to relive that fateful summer—the influence Frank once had on her and the obsessive jealousy that nearly destroyed her friendship with Aubrey.
At her mother’s house, she excavates fragments of her past and notices hidden messages in her deceased Guatemalan father’s book that didn’t stand out to her earlier. To save herself, she must understand a story written before she was born, but time keeps running out, and soon, all roads are leading back to Frank’s cabin. . . .
Utterly unique and captivating, The House in the Pines keeps you guessing about whether we can ever fully confront the past and return home.
