A Madness of Sunshine

De: Nalini Singh

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh welcomes you to a remote town on the edge of the world where even the blinding brightness of the sun can’t mask the darkness that lies deep within a killer.…

On the rugged West Coast of New Zealand, Golden Cove is more than just a town where people live. The adults are more than neighbors; the children, more than schoolmates.

That is until one fateful summer—and several vanished bodies—shatters the trust holding Golden Cove together. All that’s left are whispers behind closed doors, broken friendships, and a silent agreement to not look back. But they can’t run from the past forever.

Eight years later, a beautiful young woman disappears without a trace, and the residents of Golden Cove wonder if their home shelters something far more dangerous than an unforgiving landscape.

It’s not long before the dark past collides with the haunting present and deadly secrets come to light.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for A Madness of Sunshine

“Nalini Singh’s gorgeous descriptions of the wild west coast of New Zealand in A Madness of Sunshine add a palpable air of danger to the 'harsh and unforgiving landscape' of this beautiful land 'at the bottom of the world.'"—The New York Times Book Review

“Dark and addictive. I couldn’t stop reading! Singh’s twisty new thriller will sweep you along until the last shocking revelation.”—New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin

“Nalini Singh’s latest novel, A Madness of Sunshine, has more twists and turns than the rugged New Zealand coastline on which it’s set...Chocked full of unique characters and red herrings, this book is just my kind of pulse-pounding mystery. I loved it! Though A Madness of Sunshine is the first novel of Ms. Singh’s I’ve read, it won’t be the last.”—New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson

“Lush, atmospheric, and addictive, A Madness of Sunshine seduces with its beautiful sense of place and layered, compelling characters, then hooks you right in with a riveting noir mystery. When a beautiful girl goes missing and a dark past collides with the brutal present, the truth is as harsh and unforgiving as the landscape in which Nalini Singh's twisting tale is set.”—Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of The Stranger Inside

“Popular romance author Singh shifts to a new genre, New Zealand gothic, in which nearly every character—including the dense, ferocious landscape—has something to hide, and studying them is nearly as fascinating and compelling as solving the multifaceted mystery. Astute, insightful, and descriptive storytelling; a strong step in a new direction for Singh.”—Kirkus Reviews

very entertaining story

I really liked this book! I loved the characters and the stories behind them all. I especially loved the author's way of so thoroughly describing the landscape and people's facial expressions.

Perfection!

To go from Silver Silence to this... I'm left speechless! Utter perfection; laid out perfectly.

I for one enjoyed this book!

I almost didn't get this book, due to the negative reviews. However, there were also really good reviews, so I took a chance. The only thing I didn't care for is that Miriana's name was repeated too often. At certain points it is necessary, but hearing it too often, irritated me and almost made me not care about her any more. I thought to myself, author, don't worry, I know who you're referring to. Just saying. Otherwise, well done! I'm an avid mystery and thriller fan, and found it entertaining.

pretty good, but not great

kept my attention and I enjoyed listening to it, but I is not a memorable amazing book. It did the job!

Unexpected

I love Nalini Singh’s books and this one does not disappoint. I’m a fan of her Psy-Changling and Guild Hunter series so this one was a little unexpected for me. This murder mystery is both intriguing and sad. Without spoiling the story I will just say that I have never rooted for a victim more.
