La Desaparición de Stephanie Mailer / The Disappearance of Stephanie Mailer | Joël Dicker
5 posts | 10 read | 4 to read
Más de 4.000.000 de lectores la están esperando: Tras La verdad, La desaparición. Solo Dicker podía superarse a sí mismo. El thriller más poderoso de los últimos años: una obra de una enorme ambición que no da tregua. Otro sofisticado y adictivo mecanismo narrativo. La noche del 30 de julio de 1994 la apacible población de Orphea, en los Hamptons, asiste a la gran apertura del festival de teatro. Pero el alcalde se retrasa... Mientras tanto, Samuel Paladin recorre las calles vacías buscando a su mujer, hasta hallar su cadáver ante la casa del alcalde. Dentro, toda la familia ha sido asesinada. Jesse Rosenberg y Derek Scott son los dos jóvenes policías de Nueva York que resuelven con éxito el caso, pero veinte años más tarde, en la ceremonia de despedida de la policía a Rosenberg, la periodista Stephanie Mailer lo afronta: pretende que Dereck y Jesse se equivocaron de asesino a pesar de que la prueba se hallara delante de sus ojos, y que ella posee información clave. Pero días después, desaparece. Así se inicia este colosal thriller que avanza en el pasado y el presente a ritmo vertiginoso, sumando tramas, personajes, sorpresas y vueltas de tuerca, sacudiendo e impulsando al lector sin freno posible hacia el inesperado e inolvidable desenlace. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION More than four million readers have been anticipating it: After The Truth comes The Disappearance. Only Dicker could surpass himself. The most powerful thriller in years: a work of enormous, constant ambition. Another sophisticated, addictive narrative mechanism. The night of July 30, 1994, the placid town of Orphea in the Hamptons attends the grand opening of the theater festival. But the mayor is delayed... Meanwhile, Samuel Paladin speeds through the empty streets looking for his wife, until he finds her body in front of the mayor's house. Inside, the whole family has been killed. Jesse Rosenberg and Derek Scott are the two young New York police officers who successfully solve the case, but twenty years later, at Rosenberg's retirement ceremony, journalist Stephanie Mailer confronts him: she claims that Jesse and Derek were wrong about the murder despite the proof in front of them, and that she holds key information. But days later, she disappears. Thus begins this colossal thriller that progresses through the past and the present at a dizzying pace, adding plots, characters, surprises and twists, shaking and pushing the reader to the unexpected and unforgettable ending.

I really enjoyed this book. Full of twists and turns and I really liked the seamless movement between past and present. His first book (Harry Quebert Affair) was brilliant. This one was not as good but came pretty close. Kept you guessing until the end.

This was a very long book. In some ways it's good, it allows more information of the characters and their lives. In others it meant the story dragged a little with extra parts that weren't needed. The story is told by various characters and jumps around the times quite a bit.The mystery itself was clever and had plenty of twists along the way. The ending was good and finished the story well. 3* #Netgalley
