Vlugt S. V. D., The Reunion — 2010
Аннотация: This is Simone van der Vlugt's first entry into the adult (psychological) thriller market in the UK.In her native Netherlands, it was her first entry into the adult thriller market too, having been established as an historical children's and young adults' author for about twenty years. An English translation of The Reunion was first sold and published in Australia and now it reaches the UK, courtesy of HarperCollins. So what does it offer? Well, it had this reader gripped. Because of its shorter length at 295 pages - and why are UK born and bred authors encouraged to deliver 400+ pages to their publishers all the time? - I was not tempted to skim to the end. This was good as the suspense is effectively maintained throughout, within a tight wheel.
