""Avevo quattordici anni quando mi sono innamorato di una dea. . ."" Così inizia la testimonianza di Noah Calaway, un ex avvocato con una passione per la psicologia criminale. Ora vive una vita senza scopo in una casa ereditata nella campagna inglese, tormentato dal ricordo della giovane donna affascinante che lo ha lasciato all'altare sedici anni fa. Poi un giorno riceve una telefonata preoccupante. April, la donna che amava, è in coma, vittima di un apparente overdose - e principale sospettata di un brutale omicidio. Nel profondo del suo essere, Noah crede che April sia innocente. D'altra parte, credeva anche che avrebbero trascorso il resto della loro vita insieme. Mentre Noah cerca prove per scagionare April, una teenager di nome Ella inizia a setacciare i segreti della sua dolorosa storia familiare. Alla stessa età in cui April si trovava quando Noah la conobbe, Ella custodisce una rivelazione che potrebbe essere la chiave per risolvere l'omicidio. Man mano che le due storie si intrecciano, ci sono conseguenze scioccanti quando finalmente emerge la verità. O così credono tutti. Ambientato in una terra di confine dove il passato proietta la sua ombra sul presente, con una narrazione che sfida il tempo e che affascina e sorprende, "La bellezza della fine" è sia un capolavoro di suspense che una potente riflessione sull'amore perduto.

Di sicuro qualcuno in paese sa più di quel che dice. Via via che le ricerche del colpevole vanno avanti, Kate è sempre più ossessionata dalla soluzione del mistero…

She hoped the little English village, with its scattering of houses, pub, and village church, wouldn't offer enough opportunity for her doctor husband, Andrew, to continue having affairs. Apparently, she was wrong. Now Elise's only goal is to maintain the façade of a happy homelife for their teenage daughter, Niamh. When the body of Niamh's best friend, Hollie, is found, the entire village is rocked. Elise, though generally distrustful since Andrew's infidelity, believed that Hollie was loved by her father and stepmother. Yet there was something unsettling beneath the girl's smile. As the police investigation stalls amid disjointed evidence, it's Niamh who unknowingly holds the key... Flitting between the villagers' lives, silent and unseen, Niamh is learning about the relationships and secrets that surround her--including those close to home. And as her daughter edges closer to a killer, Elise realizes that the truth may eclipse even her worst suspicions" --Amazon.
