Una brillante y emotiva historia de crecimiento y cozy mystery en la agitada Inglaterra de finales de los setenta.
«SerÃa fácil decir que todo empezó con los asesinatos, pero en realidad comenzó con Margaret Thatcher... .
Inglaterra, 1979. Thatcher se ha convertido en primera ministra, los pantalones pitillo son la última moda y Miv está convencida de que su padre quiere que se marchen al sur del paÃs. Dejar Yorkshire y a su mejor amiga, Sharon, resulta impensable para Miv, una preadolescente curiosa y perspicaz que se abre paso a la madurez entre libros de Los Cinco y la estricta supervisión de su tÃa. Por si fuera poco, la región vive aterrorizada por la amenaza de un asesino en serie bautizado por la prensa como el Destripador de Yorkshire, y Miv se obsesiona con una idea... Quizá, si ella resolviera el caso haciendo uso de sus dotes detectivescas y de todo lo que ha aprendido en sus libros, podrÃa convencer a su padre para que no se mudaran? AsÃ, Miv y Sharon deciden hacer una lista, la lista de todas las cosas sospechosas que observan a su alrededor. Pero su búsqueda de la verdad revela más secretos -en su barrio, en sus familias, entre ellas-, de lo que nunca habrÃan imaginado. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A SENSATIONAL DEBUT FROM HUTCHINSON HEINEMANN IN 2024 Yorkshire, 1979. Maggie Thatcher is prime minister, drainpipe jeans are in, and Miv is convinced that her dad wants to move their family Down South. Because of the murders. Leaving Yorkshire and her best friend Sharon simply isn't an option, no matter the dangers lurking round their way; or the strangeness at home that started the day Miv's mum stopped talking. Perhaps if she could solve the case of the disappearing women, they could stay after all? So, Miv and Sharon decide to make a list: a list of all the suspicious people and things down their street. People they know. People they don't. But their search for the truth reveals more secrets in their neighborhood, within their families - and between each other - than they ever thought possible. What if the real mystery Miv needs to solve is the one that lies much closer to home? The List of Suspicious Things is a tender and moving coming of age story about family, friendship and community. Sometimes the strongest connections are found in the most unlikely of places. A touching paean to lost innocence and the comfort of friendships, its dark undertow leavened by stout Yorkshire humor. --The Times
