Hvor godt kender du egentlig din nabo, din partner – eller dig selv? Din nabo sagde, at du ikke skulle tage din baby med til middagen. Ikke noget personligt, hun kunne bare ikke holde ud at høre hende græde. Din mand sagde, at du skulle slappe af. I var jo lige inde hos naboparret, og babyalarmen var tændt. Din datter sov sidste gang, du kiggede til hende. Men nu, hvor du løber op ad trappen i det dødstille hus, er dit værste mareridt blevet til virkelighed. Hun er væk. Du har aldrig ringet til politiet før. Nu er de i jeres hus. Hvem ved, hvad de kommer til at finde … Shari Lapenas psykologiske thriller NABOPARRET er blevet en international bestseller. En baby forsvinder sporløst. Begge forældre gemmer på mørke hemmeligheder. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Barnevakten avlyser i siste liten, og Anne og Marco lar sin seks måneder gamle datter, Cora, ligge hjemme og sove mens de går til naboene i huset ved siden av for å spise middag. De har med seg babycall og veksler på å gå hjem og se til henne hver halvtime. Likevel, da de kommer hjem på slutten av kvelden, står døren på gløtt, og Cora er borte … Hva har skjedd? Hvem kan stå bak? Anne og Marco begynner å grave i hverandres historier. Vet de alt om hverandre? Kjenner de familiene sine, vennene? Og hva vet vi om naboene våre? Naboparet er en intens psykologisk spenningsroman som får hårene til å reise seg!«Naboparet er en morsom og underholdende psykologisk thriller. Og spennende så det holder» Ingvar Ambjørnsen, Dagbladet «Det handler om menneskers hemmeligheter som sakte, men sikkert graves opp i lyset … Plottet bygges opp skarpt og effektivt og ubarmhjertig. Noe som driver handlingen framover.» Per-Magne Midjo, Trønder-Avisa«…en real spenningsthriller…» KK «En trykkoker av en psykologisk thriller» Politiken«Jeg må si meg enig med Mr. Coben, dette er en veldig vellykket bok, og jeg mener det er en god grunn til at dette er en internasjonal bestselger … Spenningen stiger gjennom boken, jeg koste meg virkelig med denne.» Ann Christin Berg, My Criminal Mind, bokblog «Den nye thrilleren man har snakket mest om i 2016.» – Stylist Alle foreldres store marerittGlir rett inn i krimnoir-genren. Snart ti år er gått siden Madeleine McCann forsvant fra et feriekompleks i Praia da Luz i Portugal, Egentlig ubegripelig at det ikke før nå er skrevet en krimbok med samme hendelsesforløp. Kanadiske Shari Lapena er den første som griper muligheten. Og hun lykkes så til de grader. Anne og Marco skal på middag til naboparet. Da barnevakten melder avbud, tar de sjansen på å la seks måneder gamle Cora sove alene hjemme. De har med babycall og går jevnlig hjem for å sjekke. Men når kvelden er over og de kommer hjem, er Cora borte. Saken vekker oppsikt, også i media. Ikke minst med tanke på at barnet lå helt alene hjemme. Det stilles spørsmålstegn om både det ene og andre, akkurat som i McCann-saken. Men her får vi selvsagt svarene til slutt. Og det i meget lesbar roman som glir rett inn i krim-noirgenren der suksesser som «Mørke rom», «Gone Girl» og «Piken på toget» har markert seg de siste årene. Det handler om menneskers hemmeligheter som sakte, men sikkert graves opp i lyset. Annes fødselsdepresjon og det dårlige forholdet foreldrene hennes har til sin svigersønn, er bare to av flere detaljer som krydrer historien. Forfatteren skriver leseren mesterlig inn under huden på Anne og Marco. Plottet bygges opp skarpt og effektivt og ubarmhjertig. Noe som driver handlingen framover. Så svarer kanskje ikke den endelige opprullingen til forventningene. I sum er det uansett en sterk krimdebut. Per-Magne Midjo, Trønder-Avisa

The tenth thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door “Shari Lapena is far and away one of the best psychological thriller writers in the world. . . She is intensely bingeable.” —Lisa Jewell Jill and Ted adore their New York brownstone the way others adore their children. They have carefully, expensively, made every inch of it their own. It reflects who they are, their status and tastes. With the grand mahogany staircase and state-of-the-art kitchen, it is the stuff of glossy magazines and real-estate dreams. It is their sanctuary. So when Ted’s inheritance runs out and he makes a bad investment, they panic. How can they protect their beloved home and enviable lifestyle? The answer is obvious. Or at least, it is obvious to Jill and Ted. The death of one wealthy family member—from whom they stand to inherit millions—could solve all their problems. Together, they will get away with murder. As long as they trust each other. As long as neither makes a mistake. As long as there are no surprises…
