I have always loved the Cotswolds. I think I loved them even before I found them, in that half-formed ideal one has of where to put down roots. Somewhere peaceful, green, where the road meanders between drystone walls and from town to town, and a strip of blue bursts from brook to river and back again. For eight years, Clare Mackintosh wrote for Cotswold Life about the ups and downs of life with a young family in the countryside. In this memoir she brings together all of those stories - and more - for the first time.

In dem teuflischen »Spiel« geht es um nichts Geringeres, als die Geheimnisse der Kontrahenten ans Licht zu bringen – live auf Sendung!

L'atmosfera a bordo del primo volo diretto da Londra a Sydney è elettrica. Si dice che tra i passeggeri in prima classe ci siano numerose celebrità. I giornalisti attendono a terra per immortalare l’evento, mentre il mondo intero assiste con trepidazione al decollo. Mina sta cercando di concentrarsi sul suo lavoro come assistente di volo. Ha lasciato a casa la piccola Sophia e un matrimonio sull'orlo del fallimento.

Como cada día, Zoe regresa de trabajar en el metro de Londres. Sin embargo, al abrir el periódico encontrará algo que perturbará su apacible vida. Un anuncio de la sección de clasificados lleva su foto. No hay explicación alguna: solamente la imagen granulada de Zoe, la dirección de una página web y un número de teléfono. Su familia está convencida de que el misterio no es tal, sino solamente un caso de extraordinario parecido físico. Pero, día tras día, en el anuncio aparece la foto de una mujer distinta.

Hace un año, Caroline Johnson eligió acabar con su vida de forma brutal: un suicidio planeado para ponerle fin a todo del mismo modo que lo hizo marido meses atrás. Su hija, Anna, ha luchado desde entonces para superar la pérdida, el vacío y el dolor de un desenlace que aún no ha podido comprender.

Ahora, con una hija pequeña a su cargo, Anna echa de menos a su madre más que nunca, y las dudas sobre su muerte y la de su padre no hacen sino crecer con el paso los días.

Vor einem Jahr hat sich Caroline Johnson das Leben genommen, genau wie ihr Mann nur wenige Monate zuvor. Ihre Tochter Anna leidet schwer unter dem Verlust, fragt sich wieder und wieder, was die Eltern in den Tod getrieben hat. Besonders seit sie selbst Mutter geworden ist, quält die Ungewissheit sie mehr denn je. Sie beginnt nachzuforschen, stößt schnell auf Lügen und Ungereimtheiten. Dann aber spürt Anna, dass jemand sie beobachtet, ihr nachstellt. Schon bald muss sie lernen: Manche Dinge sollte man besser ruhen lassen.
