The Ice Twins: A Novel
Autor S. K. Tremayneen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 feb 2017
One of Sarah's daughters died. But can she be sure which one?
A year after one of their identical twin daughters, Lydia, dies in an accident, Angus and Sarah Moorcroft move to the tiny Scottish island Angus inherited from his grandmother, hoping to put together the pieces of their shattered lives.
But when their surviving daughter, Kirstie, claims they have mistaken her identity--that she, in fact, is Lydia--their world comes crashing down once again.
As winter encroaches, Angus is forced to travel away from the island for work, Sarah is feeling isolated, and Kirstie (or is it Lydia?) is growing more disturbed. When a violent storm leaves Sarah and her daughter stranded, they are forced to confront what really happened on that fateful day.

Recenzii
"'The
Ice
Twins'
is
by
turns
a
thriller,
a
mystery
and
a
ghost
story.
Tremayne,
the
pseudonym
for
a
London
journalist
and
best-selling
novelist,
melds
all
these
ingredients,
coming
up
with
enough
twists,
insights
and
chilly
moments
to
make
the
story
his
-
or
her?
-
own
and
to
keep
a
hungry
reader
savoring
every
spoonful.
.
.
.
A
story
set
on
an
island
known
informally
as
Thunder
deserves
a
thundering
finish,
which
Tremayne
deftly
serves
up,
along
with
a
touching
coda
that
would
play
well
on
film."—Washington
