Parfaite

En amour, on a tous quelque chose à cacher. Quelques squelettes dans les placards. Pour sa part, Joe Goldberg en a quatre, si bien cachés d'ailleurs que la police ne l'a jamais soupçonné. Libraire newyorkais, aussi sexy que sociopathe, Joe a su mettre tout cela derrière lui. Car cette fois-ci, c'est la bonne. Amy aime les vieux bouquins, les myrtilles et les jeux de rôle. Son seul défaut ? L'avoir trompé, volé et quitté, avant de disparaître incognito quelque part sur la côte Ouest... Direction Los Angeles, donc, pour une petite expédition punitive : California killing...

The line between love and murder, desire and obsession, can be a narrow one. Joe Goldberg came to Los Angeles to start over, to forget what happened in New York. But then he met her. She doesn't know about his past and never can. The problem is, hidden bodies don't always stay that way.

?Crazy, sexy, cool: Caroline Kepnes gets better ? and Joe Goldberg gets worse ? with every book? ERIN KELLY'Caroline Kepnes writes with such malevolent energy, such dark grace and such ink-black humour. An utterly unique character and an utterly unique writer, in a marriage made somewhere between heaven and hell? RICHARD OSMAN 'Fiendish, fast-paced, and very funny' PAULA HAWKINS'Another dark, thrilling, and blackly hilarious adventure from everyone's favourite murderer' CLAIRE MCGOWAN 'I absolutely loved it. It?s completely addictive, razor-sharp writing from Kepnes. Internet creeping at its most darkly humorous. Joe?s back, and this time it?s definitely real love' CATHERINE STEADMAN?Caroline Kepnes must be some kind of storytelling sorcerer. How else can Joe Goldberg ? stalker, creep, multiple-murderer, blamer of everyone else but himself, a ?long overdue book, the one you never thought was coming? ? be such an entertaining narrator? Even Tom Ripley, Patricia Highsmith?s famously amoral character (a clear inspiration for Kepnes), could be enjoyed at a third-person remove, unlike the in-your-face immediacy of Joe?s blinkered perspective . . . brilliant? New York TimesJOE GOLDBERG IS BACK. AND HE'S GOING TO START A FAMILY ? EVEN IF IT KILLS HIM . . . Joe Goldberg is done with cities, done with the muck and the posers, done with Love. Now, he's saying hello to nature, to simple pleasures on a cosy island in the Pacific Northwest. For the first time in a long time, he can just breathe. He gets a job at the local library ? he does know a thing or two about books ? and that's where he meets her: Mary Kay DiMarco. Librarian. Joe won't meddle, he will not obsess. He'll win her the old fashioned way . . . by providing a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand. Over time, they'll both heal their wounds and begin their happily ever after in this sleepy town. The trouble is . . . Mary Kay already has a life. She's a mother. She's a friend. She's . . . busy. True love can only triumph if both people are willing to make room for the real thing. Joe cleared his decks. He's ready. And hopefully, with his encouragement and undying support, Mary Kay will do the right thing and make room for him.
