Tigers in Red Weather: Picador Collection
Autor Liza Klaussmannen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iul 2025
The gilt soon begins to crack. Avery is not the man he seems to be, and Hughes has grown distant, his inner light curtained over. On the brink of the 1960s, Nick and Helena-with their children Daisy and Ed-try to recapture that earlier sense of possibility. But then Daisy and Ed discover something truly awful, and the dark thread of the family's history slowly starts to unravel. The secrets and lies that each member thought long buried begin to surface.
Brilliantly told with the tempestuous elegance of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the suspenseful dark longing of Patricia Highsmith,Tigers in Red Weatheris an almost unbearably compelling story of liars, lust, and secrets. It heralds the arrival of a fierce literary talent.

Today
"[Klaussmann's]...sharp observations and lyrical prose make for a poignant read."—Sara Vilkomerson, Entertainment Weekly
"Shot through with glamour and the glint of family secrets, TIGERS IN RED WEATHER has you immediately in its clutches. Intensely evocative, it is by turns unbearably febrile and utterly chilling, and often both at once."—Megan Abbott, author of The End of Everything and Dare Me
"Exceedingly clever.... An elegant playbook on passive aggression, a study of the desires and resentments that burn away souls behind teeth-clenched smiles... Klaussmann is a master at unexpressed despair."—Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"TIGERS IN RED WEATHER has the irresistible, opiate undertow of a fine Southern gothic novel; it's best read in long, languid, effortless pulls."—Laura Miller, Salon
"A complex, ambitious, and dramatic novel about the rich at the beach."—Susan Cheever, Daily Beast
"With sultry prose and a sure hand for suspense, Liza Klaussmann expertly weaves a vivid tale of glamour and despair, fidelity and betrayal, secrets and abandon.TTIGERS IN RED WEATHER will have you furiously postponing all human interaction until its gripping finale."—Maria Semple, author ofWhere'd You Go, Bernadette
"Tennessee Williams knew it; so did Harper Lee. There's something about a story anchored in the summer months that makes deception a little juicier, desire a little sultrier, and murder just a little more wicked. Brimming with all three, Liza Klaussmann's skillfully constructed debut novel of family intrigue and restless secrets...arrives this summer as a riveting addition to the genre.... Klaussmann's full-bodied prose considers the shortcomings of intimacy and the pitfalls of searching for an overarching family truth-all with the seductive pull of a Gothic melodrama."—Antonina Jedrzejczak, Vogue
"Klaussmann's carefully crafted soap opera skillfully commingles mystery with melodrama, keeping readers guessing about what really happened until the end. While her characters' duplicitous behavior will elicit strong reactions, Ed's psychological progression is the most fascinating to watch. The shocking finale, seen through Ed's all-knowing eyes, scintillates as much as it satisfies."—Publishers WeeklyStarred Review
"[Klaussmann's] cooked up a deft, nasty plot."—Helen Rogan, People Magazine
"Zings with insight.... Klaussmann boldly uses five points of view to reveal the quiet desperation, hidden mental illness and politely bared fangs in a generation adrift in privileged mid-century America.... An intellectual and highly entertaining novel that recalls such classic writers as Fitzgerald."—Rochelle O'Gorman, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"(A) smart, unsettling debut... Klaussmann's pitch-perfect portrait of the Derringer marriage gives the novel a strong emotional charge. Their complicated, painfully loving relationship and their mutual tenderness for fresh-faced Daisy ring true....stinging dialogue and sharp insights offer strong foundations on which this novice author can build."—Kirkus Reviews
"Gothic meets Martha's Vineyard in a thriller that captures a repressed generation and claustrophobic family relations.... Klaussmann has an eye for the small gesture that detonates an emotional bomb.... Throughout, [she] questions how to navigate a postwar world, and where women, specifically Nick and her aspirations, fit into it. She writes beautifully about this struggle.... A sharply drawn portrait of life among that ever-popular literary demographic: the beautiful and damned."—Alice Fishburn, The Financial Times
"A riveting, deeply moving tale of the unraveling of one family's mysteries."—Rory O'Connor, Examiner.com
"An astounding debut and undoubtedly one of the best books of the year."—Melanie Smith, Bookreporter.com
"A suspenseful story that is by turns a mystery, an examination of a marriage and an exploration of the possibly fatal consequences of self-deception."—Ilana Teitelbaum, Shelf Awareness
"A richly crafted story in which the setting is as much a character as those who inhabit it.... Klaussmann has created an exquisite and evocative story of family secrets that leaves the reader exhausted, exhilarated and, in tiger fashion, roaring for more."—Cynthia Wolfe Boynton, Bookpage
"Enthralling..."—O, The Oprah Magazine
"A sultry, pitch-perfect literary thriller..."—Emily Temple, Flavorpill

"Ms. Klaussmann's strongest suit is the cut-glass quality of her prose, which presents the characters' perceptions in bold contours while still suggesting their emotional fragility."—Sam Sacks,The Wall Street Journal
"[A] steamy epic..."—Dailycandy
"This novel is a page-turner in that you can't wait to see what happens next, yet you have to put it down from time to time to think about and savor what you've just read. It's written from the point of view of five characters, and at its center is a very unsettling mystery-it stays with you long after you've read it."—Gabriel Byrne, O: The Oprah Magazine
