麻州海岸邊的鷗灣島曾是一個默默無聞的地方,卻在Story家族買下之後,搖身一變成了新興的度假天堂。1990年代後期,Story家族的遺孀米爾德莉卻毫無解釋取消了她四個孩子的財產繼承權,只透過律師留下一封信給他們:「你們知道自己做了什麼。」
幾十年過去了,Story家族第三代——Milly、Aubrey、Jonah,三人突然收到祖母的信,要求他們暑假時到祖母居住的島上工作。彼此幾乎不認識的三人都很訝異,但同時也感到好奇。
三人的父母都知道祖母的命令不可違抗,而且這也可能使他們有機會重新獲得繼承權,於是便迫使三人接受邀請。但當三人抵達島上,立刻就察覺祖母對他們有不同的計畫,他們停留的時間越久,就越發現Story家族的過去有多神秘,而且非常地黑暗。整個Story家族隱藏了一個極大的秘密,多年前分裂這個家族的力量還沒有消失,而且一直有人試圖要三人離開。今年夏天,Milly、Aubrey、Jonah將學到所有黑暗的一切……
《One of Us Is Lying》暢銷作者Karen M. McManus以她一貫的寫作手法,在書中提供了Milly、Aubrey、Jonah三人不同的故事背景與動機,在每一個小轉折中隱藏的任何訊息,都可能是使故事結局大轉彎的一個伏筆。令人不安的開始讓故事充滿了吸引力,節奏快而又曲折的內容,讓你捨不得放下書,一夜讀到天明。(文/博客來外文館)
==================================================================
"Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah Story are cousins, but they barely know each another, and they’ve never even met their grandmother. Rich and reclusive, she disinherited their parents before they were born. So when they each receive a letter inviting them to work at her island resort for the summer, they’re surprised ... and curious. Their parents are all clear on one point-not going is not an option. This could be the opportunity to get back into Grandmother’s good graces. But when the cousins arrive on the island, it’s immediately clear that she has different plans for them. And the longer they stay, the more they realize how mysterious-and dark-their family’s past is. The entire Story family has secrets. Whatever pulled them apart years ago isn’t over-and this summer, the cousins will learn everything"--]cPublisher’s website.
