„Ein Meisterwerk der Thriller und Mystery-Romane. Blake Pierce hat hervorragende Arbeit geleistet, indem er Charaktere entwickelt hat, die so gut beschrieben sind, dass wir uns in ihren Köpfen fühlen, ihren Ängsten folgen und ihren Erfolg herbeiwünschen. Dieses Buch garantiert Ihnen aufgrund der vielen Wendungen Spannung bis zur letzten Seite." --Bücher und Filmkritiken, Roberto Mattos (Verschwunden) SO GUT WIE VORÜBER (DAS AU-PAIR—BUCH #1) ist der Debütroman einer neuen Psychothriller-Reihe des Bestsellerautors Blake Pierce, dessen Bestseller Verschwunden (kostenloser Download) über 1.000 Fünf-Sterne-Rezensionen hat. Der erste Au-Pair-Job der 23-jährigen Cassandra Vale verschlägt sie auf den Gutshof einer wohlhabenden Familie außerhalb von Paris. Zuerst scheint alles zu gut, um wahr zu sein. Doch schon bald entdeckt sie hinter den goldenen Toren eine funktionsgestörte Familie, eine verdorbene Ehe, problembeladene Kinder – und Geheimisse, die zu dunkel sind, um enthüllt zu werden. Cassandra ist davon überzeugt, ein neues Leben beginnen zu können, als sie den Job als Au-Pair-Mädchen in der idyllischen Provinz Frankreichs annimmt. Der Landsitz der Dubois liegt gerade außerhalb von Paris und ist ein großartiges Relikt der Vergangenheit, das von einer Bilderbuchfamilie bewohnt wird. Genau das hat Cassandra gebraucht! Doch dann stößt sie auf deren dunkle Geheimnisse und erfährt, dass nicht alles so glamourös ist, wie es scheint. Hinter all dem Reichtum befindet sich ein dunkles Netz der Tücke und der List. Ein Netz, das Cassandra nur allzu bekannt vorkommt und Erinnerungen an eine Vergangenheit voller Qual und Gewalt in ihr auslöst. Eine Vergangenheit, die sie verzweifelt hinter sich zu lassen versucht. Als ein grässlicher Mord das Haus auseinandernimmt, droht auch ihre labile Psyche zu zerbrechen. Eine fesselnde Mystery-Geschichte mit komplexen Figuren, verdeckten Geheimnissen, dramatischen Wendungen und einer unglaublichen Spannung: SO GUT WIE VORÜBER ist das erste Buch der spannungsgeladenen Psycho-Thriller-Serie, die man gar nicht aus der Hand legen möchte. Buch #2 – SO GUT WIE VERLOREN – kann nun vorbestellt werden!
