Story4.5 out of 5 stars 83
Je me souviens très bien de cet instant. Nous étions face à la mer. L'horizon scintillait. C'est là qu'Anna m'a demandé : "Si j'avais commis le pire, m'aimerais-tu malgré tout ?" Vous auriez répondu quoi, vous ? Anna était la femme de ma vie. Nous devions nous marier dans trois semaines. Bien sûr que je l'aimerais quoi qu'elle ait pu faire. Du moins, c'est ce que je croyais, mais elle a fouillé dans son sac d'une main fébrile, et m'a tendu une photo. - C'est moi qui ai fait ça.

Un divorce les avait séparés... le danger va les réunir. Après un divorce orageux, Nikki et Sebastian ont refait leur vie, très loin l'un de l'autre. Jusqu'au jour où leur fils Jeremy disparaît mystérieusement. Fugue ? Kidnapping ? Pour sauver ce qu'elle a de plus cher, Nikki n'a d'autre choix que de se tourner vers son ex-mari qu'elle n'a pas revu depuis sept ans. Contraints d'unir leurs forces, ils s'engagent alors dans une course-poursuite, retrouvant une intimité qu'ils croyaient perdue à jamais.

Alors que le vol de La Joconde fait la une de tous les journaux, quatre personnes qui ne se connaissent pas reçoivent un fragment découpé de la célèbre œuvre de Léonard de Vinci, accompagné d'un mystérieux rendez-vous dans une chapelle de Toscane. Pourquoi eux ? Qui les a choisis ? Quel plan se cache derrière ce coup d'éclat ? Ils l'ignorent encore, mais à l'instant même où ils décident de résoudre ensemble cette énigme, leur vie prend un tournant dangereux, exaltant et sans retour.

"Un jour d'avril, ma fille de trois ans, Carrie, a disparu alors que nous jouions toutes les deux à cache-cache dans mon appartement de Brooklyn." Ainsi débute le récit de Flora Conway, romancière renommée à la discrétion légendaire. La disparition de Carrie n'a aucune explication. La porte et les fenêtres de l'appartement étaient closes, les caméras de ce vieil immeuble new-yorkais ne montrent pas d'intrusion. L'enquête de police n'a rien donné. Au même moment, de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, un écrivain au cœur broyé se terre dans une maison délabrée.

Paris, un atelier d'artiste caché au fond d'une allée verdoyante. Madeline l'a loué pour s'y reposer et s'isoler. À la suite d'une méprise, cette jeune flic londonienne y voit débarquer Gaspard, un écrivain misanthrope venu des États-Unis pour écrire dans la solitude. Ces deux écorchés vifs sont contraints de cohabiter quelques jours. L'atelier a appartenu au célèbre peintre Sean Lorenz et respire encore sa passion des couleurs et de la lumière.

Editorial Reviews
Avec L'instant présent en format livre audio, entrez dans la vie tumultueuse de personnages aussi différents qu'attachants. Lisa veut depuis toujours devenir comédienne. Arthur travaille dans un hôpital en tant que médecin urgentiste. Lorsque ces deux-là se rencontrent, ils ont d'apparence tout pour être heureux. Mais ils ne peuvent se voir qu'une seule fois par an. Il la cherche sans cesse dans l'immense New York tandis qu'elle l'attend patiemment. Leur pire ennemi est le temps...
Ce thriller psychologique de Guillaume Musso vous fait vivre une véritable course contre la montre. François Hatt donne vie à cette relation si singulière avec une authenticité à couper le souffle. L'interprétation sans fausse note de cet amour impossible est agréable à écouter. Comme à son habitude, Guillaume Musso maîtrise avec aisance les ingrédients d'un roman à succès. Dans L'instant présent, rebondissements et suspense haletant sont bel et bien au rendez-vous.
Publisher's summary
Lisa rêve de devenir comédienne. Pour payer ses études d'art dramatique, elle travaille dans un bar de Manhattan. Un soir, elle fait la connaissance d'Arthur Costello, un jeune médecin urgentiste. Leur complicité est immédiate. Pour le séduire, Lisa est prête à tout. Dans une ville-labyrinthe qui n'offre aucun répit, elle prend tous les risques. Mais Arthur n'est pas un homme comme les autres. Bientôt, il révèle à Lisa la terrible vérité qui lui interdit de l'aimer : "Ce qui m'arrive est inimaginable, et pourtant bien réel..." Dans un New York plus imprévisible que jamais, Arthur et Lisa vont lier leur destin pour déjouer les pièges que leur impose le plus impitoyable des ennemis : le temps.
Un thriller psychologique vertigineux au final stupéfiant. Le nouveau suspense de Guillaume Musso s'inscrit dans la droite ligne de Demain et Central Park.

For Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive “nemesis” who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can’t, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.) Soon Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and estranged grandmother. Then she’s tossed into the deep end at work, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for the intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren’t enough, she discovers her hot nemesis works there, too.

When she arrives at the idyllic getaway, she’s pleased to find that the owner is a handsome man by the name of Calvin Wells—and he’s eager to introduce her to his easygoing way of life.

It's nearly Christmas, Julia Devine's favourite time of the year. She's just programmed a wonderful lead into the holidays at Sunny Street Cinema, which leaves her plenty of time to worry about going home to Cumbria for Christmas. Her mum and stepdad are fine, but the thought of spending another holiday with her awful stepsister Becca is enough to make a Scrooge out of anyone. When Becca calls to let her know about the dreamy pilot she's bringing to Christmas lunch, Julia finally snaps and does something very silly.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Meet Harry, aspiring tech entrepreneur. He’s a would-be Steve Jobs trapped in a cubicle gig at an angel investor firm, so close and yet so far from his dreams. His marriage is foundering, his career is stalled out, and all he wants is to create an app like Uber, or Tinder, something to make real change in the world, and change his own life forever. Now meet Peter, a deeply troubled computer genius who lives in a basement apartment, chugging red wine, nursing old grudges and writing code. When Harry meets Peter, it’s both of their lives that will change, when they invent an app for murder.
