The shadow of your smile
At age eighty-two and in failing health, Olivia Morrow knows she has little time left. The last of her line, she faces a momentous choice: expose a long-held family secret, or take it with her to her grave. Olivia has in her possession letters from her deceased cousin Catherine, a nun, now being considered for beatification by the Catholic Church—the final step before sainthood. In her lifetime, Sister Catherine had founded seven hospitals for disabled children. Now the cure of a four-year-old boy dying of brain cancer is being attributed to her. After his case was pronounced medically hopeless, the boy’s desperate mother had organized a prayer crusade to Sister Catherine, leading to his miraculous recovery.
Au commencement était le crime
Malice domestic : l’expression désigne le crime maison, celui qui intervient entre frères ou conjoints, amants ou maîtresses. Celui qui viole le sanctuaire familial, laissant le cadavre dans la baignoire ou devant la cheminée…Le premier « crime maison » connu, rappelle ici la romancière de La Nuit du renard et de Recherche jeune femme aimant danser, fut le meurtre d’Abel par Caïn. L’histoire d’Oedipe ou celle de Hamlet s’inscrivent également dans cette longue tradition.
Le roman de George et Martha
S’il n’avait pas rencontré la belle et courageuse Martha, George Washington serait-il devenu le héros de la guerre d’Indépendance et le premier président des Etats-Unis ? Derrière chaque grand homme se cache une femme qui l’aime et le soutient, et la jeune veuve ira jusqu’à traverser les lignes ennemies pour le rejoindre. Dans cette biographie romancée, qui est aussi son premier livre, elle dresse le magnifique portrait d’une femme méconnue, et révèle la profonde humanité d’un des Pères de l’Amérique. Ce Roman est une biographie romancée de l’écrivaine américaine Mary Higgins Clark, paru en 1968. Il s’agit du premier livre publié de l’auteur qui choisit de refondre l’ouvrage et d’en donner une nouvelle version en 2000.
We’ll meet again
The mistress of high tension” (The New Yorker) and undisputed Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark brings us another New York Times bestselling novel that she “prepares so carefully and executes with such relish” (The New York Times Book Review) about the murder of a respected doctor—and his beautiful young wife charged with the crime. Dr. Gary Lasch, famous Greenwich, Connecticut doctor and founder of the HMO Remington Health Management, is found dead in his home, his skull crushed by a blow with a heavy bronze sculpture, and his wife, Molly, in bed covered with his blood. It was the Lasches’ housekeeper, Edna Barry, who made the grisly discovery the morning after Molly’s unexpectedly early return from Cape Cod, where she had gone to seclude herself upon learning of her husband’s infidelity. As the evidence against Molly grows, her lawyer plea-bargains a manslaughter charge to avoid a murder conviction.
