Good girl bad girl / Michael Robotham

London : Sphere, 2019

Abstract: Evie Cormac is a girl without a past. Six years ago, filthy and half starved, she was discovered hiding in a secret room in the aftermath of a shocking crime. She had lived for weeks in the murder house, sneaking out at night to steal food, hiding from the ‘faceless men’. Six years later, still unidentified and given a new name, this same girl is living in a secure children’s home when she launches a court action, demanding that she be released as an adult. Forensic psychologist, Cyrus Haven is called upon to decide if Evie is ready to go free, but he discovers a girl unlike anyone he's ever met. Damaged, destructive, and self-hating, yet possessed of a gift that makes her both fascinating and dangerous to be with—the ability to tell when someone is lying.

The girl with the dragon tattoo / Stieg Larsson ; translated from the Swedish by Reg Keeland

London : MacLehose Press, 2015

Abstract: Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

The pleasures of men / Kate Williams

London : Penguin books, 2012

Abstract: Catherine Sorgeiul lives with her Uncle in a rambling house in London's East End. When a murderer strikes, ripping open the chests of young girls and stuffing hair into their mouths to resemble a crow's beak, Catherine is fascinated, and devours news of his exploits. As the murders cause panic throughout the city, she comes to believe she can channel the voices of his victims and that they will lead her to The Man himself. But she's already far closer than she realises - and lurking behind the lies she's been told about her past are secrets more deadly and devastating than anything her imagination can conjure.

The forgotten garden / Kate Morton

London : Pan books, 2008

Abstract: A tiny girl is abandoned on a ship headed for Australia in 1913. She arrives completely alone with nothing but a small suitcase containing a few clothes and a single book—a beautiful volume of fairy tales. She is taken in by the dockmaster and his wife and raised as their own. On her twenty-fi rst birthday, they tell her the truth, and with her sense of self shattered and very little to go on, "Nell" sets out to trace her real identity. Her quest leads her to Blackhurst Manor on the Cornish coast and the secrets of the doomed Mountrachet family. But it is not until her granddaughter, Cassandra, takes up the search after Nell’s death that all the pieces of the puzzle are assembled. A spellbinding tale of mystery and self-discovery, The Forgotten Garden will take hold of your imagination and never let go.

Echo park / Michael Connelly

London : Orion books, 2007

Abstract: Nel 1993 Marie Gesto era scomparsa dopo essere uscita da un supermarket, ma il suo cadavere non era mai stato trovato. L'indagine era stata affidata a Harry Bosch, che non era riuscito a scoprire l'assassino. Ora, tornato nell'Unità dei casi irrisolti, riprende a occuparsi del delitto che non aveva smesso di tormentarlo. Ma c'è qualcun altro che si tormenta. Il procuratore generale. È tempo di elezioni e il procuratore sa che un'eventuale soluzione del caso sarebbe l'asso nella manica che gli manca. E così accade che Raynard Waits, uno spietato serial killer arrestato per duplice omicidio, si attribuisca anche quello di Marie Gesto, più una serie di altri, avvenuti nel passato, che non avevano mai trovato soluzione. In cambio della sua confessione, la pena di morte gli viene commutata in ergastolo. Il caso è chiuso, il procuratore soddisfatto, ma non Harry Bosch, che non si lascia convincere da una soluzione così facile e soprattutto si rende conto di aver trascurato all'inizio dell'indagine un indizio rivelatore. Cercando di non lasciarsi sopraffare dal senso di colpa e di sfiducia che lo attanaglia, Bosch segue le sue piste che lo porteranno al cuore di una spirale di perfidia e depravazione. E come un surfista che aspetta l'onda giusta, saprà attendere il momento per sferrare il colpo di grazia.

The shape of water / Andrea Camilleri ; translated by Stephen Sartarelli

London : Picador, 2004

Abstract: The goats of Vigàta once grazed on the trash-strewn site still known as the Pasture. Now local enterprise of a different sort flourishes: drug dealers and prostitutes of every flavour. But their discreet trade is upset when two employees of the Splendour Refuse Collection Company discover the body of engineer Silvio Luparello, one of the local movers and shakers, apparently deceased in flagrante at the Pasture. The coroner's verdict is death from natural causes - refreshingly unusual for Sicily. But Inspector Salvo Montalbano, as honest as he is streetwise and as scathing to fools and villains as he is compassionate to their victims, is not ready to close the case - even though he's being pressured by Vigàta's police chief, judge, and bishop. Picking his way through a labyrinth of high-comedy corruption, delicious meals, vendetta firepower, and carefully planted false clues, Montalbano can be relied on, whatever the cost, to get to the heart of the matter.
