Beschreibung

From the author of the “full-throttle thriller” (A. J. Finn) No Exit—a riveting new psychological page-turner featuring a fierce and unforgettable heroine.
Three months ago, Lena Nguyen’s estranged twin sister, Cambry, drove to a remote bridge seventy miles outside of Missoula, Montana, and jumped two hundred feet to her death. At least, that is the official police version.
But Lena isn’t buying it.
Now she’s come to that very bridge, driving her dead twin’s car and armed with a cassette recorder, determined to find out what really happened by interviewing the highway patrolman who allegedly discovered her sister’s body.
Corporal Raymond Raycevic has agreed to meet Lena at the scene. He is sympathetic, forthright, and professional. But his story still seems a bit off. For one thing, he stopped Cambry for speeding just an hour before she supposedly leaped to her death. Then there are the sixteen attempted 911 calls from her cell phone, made in what was unfortunately a dead zone.
But perhaps most troubling of all, the state trooper is referred to by name in Cambry’s final enigmatic text to her sister: Please Forgive Me. Lena will do anything to uncover the truth. But as her twin’s final hours come into focus, Lena’s search turns into a harrowing tooth-and-nail fight for her own survival—one that will test everything she thought she knew about her sister and herself...

Treffen sich zwei Zwillingspaare und eine Würgeschlange auf einer Brücke… Meine Güte! Was für ein schlechter Witz… ein haarsträubender Blödsinn dieses Buch 🤦‍♀️ Der Titel erscheint im Deutschen unter: „Die Brücke“.

When I say I RAN to the bookstore, as soon as Hairpin Bridge hit the shelves I’m not even exaggerating (much) – Taylor Adam’s previous publications have held my heart in their ironlike grip, cackling madly while the heart rate spiked up and I never was able to put any of the three previous books down, as soon as I started them. To say I enjoyed them might be a bit misleading, but those were some of the best thriller I’ve ever read, so twisty-turny that I never anticipated the next move or even the final outcome. If someone asks me for a thriller recommendation that keeps them on the edge of their seat for hours, Taylor Adams is my recommended choice. Imagine my utter disappointment when it took me so much longer to finish Hairpin Bridge. It still is a good read, though compared to previous publications of the same author? Not even close. It never had the same effect on me, feeling the physical involvement in a fictional story by my own heartrate spiking, gripping the pages tight and reading in a hectic manner because I NEEDED TO FIND OUT how this story continues. That was most definitely what I expected Hairpin Bridge would make me do, but it didn’t. While having those twists and turns that kept me engager, it just did not drag me in the same way. The female MC tended to get on my nerves, the antagonist annoyed and disgusted me (as expected), both lit up through moments of sass and savagery. I had the odd chuckle here or there; I was never bored but Hairpin Bridge to me just lacked the special something. If you plan to read Taylor Adam’s works for the first time maybe start with this one and leave the others for last, because to me this was definitely the weakest link of the chain so far.
