Articoli correlati a Lake of Sorrows
When workers at a vast peat extraction site in the bleak and tortured landscape of the Irish midlands uncover a long-buried, badly damaged corpse, they call in pathologist Nora Gavin. The body has apparently been strangled, slashed and drowned - the ritual 'triple death' of Ireland's blood-soaked pagan past. But moments after Nora arrives a much more recent victim is discovered. Like the ancient body, this new corpse seems to have suffered the triple death...Nora and her lover, archaeologist Cormac Maguire, must team up professionally once more. Soon they are enmeshed in a web of tangled desires and terrible secrets. The danger mounts, fuelled by rumours of ancient gold, secret liaisons and long-delayed revenge. Though they do not realise it, Nora and Cormac have come too close to the truth - placing them in ever-greater danger of becoming a ruthless killer's next victims.

Recensione:
'A treat for lovers of suspense novels.' Woman's Own on Lake of Sorrows
'This literary thriller is so self-assured that it is hard to believe it is only Hart's second novel . . . it provides a compelling, even mesmerising, mix of themes . . . There's plenty of intricately plotted suspense to keep thriller fans happy, but one of the joys of this novel is Hart's rich, atmospheric writing. She brilliantly conjures up the bleak, claustrophobic dust-clogged badlands of the Irish peat bogs where the pagan past seems to lurk just centimetres below the surface.' Western Daily Press on LAKE OF SORROWS
'Utterly beguiling mix of village mystery, suspense and psychological thriller . . . Hart breathes life into local history the way Graham Swift did in Waterland, reinvents the Du Maurier formula for Gothic suspense. In every way this is a debut to remember.' Booklist on Haunted Ground
'Erin Hart spins a dark tale of gothic suspense fused with modern forensics. This bright new talent lays bare all the buried bones, in a murderous tale of intrigue and betrayal.' Linda Fairstein on Haunted Ground
'An Irish breakfast of a book . . . undeniably rich and delicious . . . Every character is fascinating . . . there are so many beautifully realised lives in this novel that readers will sink into the book as if it were the Loughnabrone (Lake of Sorrows) Bog itself. Yet it's an emotionally and intellectually gorgeous descent . . . Hart's language sings, and the gothic atmosphere lingers.' Publishers Weekly on Lake of Sorrows
'Intricate crime from a gifted first time author . . . altogether different and incredibly transfixing.' Irish World on Haunted Ground

Descrizione libro Condizione: Near Fine. Can there be too much of a good thing? Hart's second literary thriller star ring pathologist Nora Gavin, set in the misty midlands and myth-laden peat bogs of County Offaly, is an Irish breakfast of a book: a kidney here, a sa usage there, undeniably rich and delicious but likely to provoke indigestio n unless consumed slowly. Every character is fascinating, from the depresse d yet fearless and tenderly passionate Dr. Gavin, to the coldly erotic and bullying archeologist Ursula Downes, whose murder Nora helps solve nearly a t the cost of her own life.
