The Push

De: Claire McGowan

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

From the bestselling author of What You Did comes a stunning psychological thriller. One party. Thirteen people. By 3.02 p.m., one of them will be dead.

The party should have been perfect: six couples from the same baby group, six newborns, a luxurious house. But not everything has gone to plan, and while some are here to celebrate, others have sorrows to drown. When someone falls from the balcony of the house, the secrets and conflicts within the group begin to spill out....

DS Alison Hegarty, herself struggling with infertility, is called in to investigate. She’s convinced the fall was not an accident, and finds the new parents have a lot to hide. Wealthy Ed and Monica show off their newborn while their teenage daughter is kept under virtual house arrest. Hazel and Cathy conceived their longed-for baby via an anonymous sperm donor - or so Hazel thinks. Anita and Jeremy planned to adopt from America, but there’s no sign of the child. Kelly, whose violent boyfriend disrupted previous group sessions, came to the party even though she lost her baby. And then there’s Jax, who’s been experiencing strange incidents for months - almost like someone’s out to get her. Is it just a difficult pregnancy? Or could it be payback for something she did in the past?

It’s a nightmare of a case, and as events get even darker it begins to look impossible. Only one thing is clear: they all have something to hide. And for one of them, it’s murder.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“You’ll be desperate to know what happened and how everything will turn out.” —The Sun

“Plenty of twists and turns keep you hooked.” —Crime Monthly

“It really had me gripped.” —Marian Keyes, international bestselling author of Grown Ups

Interesting and quite a twist

The story line was excellent. It’s twists and turns kept me guessing at points. Each character was suspect.

Everything by McGowan is great!

Every book I’ve read of this author is gripping—not just the suspense or mystery but the rich emotions each character experiences. Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Oh, this was good!

I love the way Claire writes. I felt as if I were right there in the mix of everything going on. This was a really good read and I love the discussion questions at the end. My jaw was really on the floor when I learned who had been doing all those awful things to Jax and why but that was nothing compared to the ultimate reveal. I did not at all see that coming. I had gone in an entirely didn't direction as I tried to piece everything together. I will definitely be recommending this book to others and I'll be on the lookout for Claire's next release. Don't wait, grab a copy and start reading now!

The Push

This was a good listen, however, way more focus on pregnancy than I anticipated. I enjoyed the characters and the mystery and wish that would have been the focal point because that part is what made the book worth reading for me!

Pregnancy brain

This was an excellent book- so many emotions were brought back from when I was pregnant both times. Definitely recommend!
