Overview
Vuelve, por fin, aún más audaz y provocadora, «la Patricia Highsmith española», «la nueva dama del thriller» (La Razón) que conmocionó a prensa, libreros y lectores con La señora March, Premio Best Novel Valencia Negra y Premio Un Año de Libros al mejor debut, y uno de los mejores libros del año según El País, El Cultural, La Vanguardia, Elle y Telva.
El señor y la señora Pounds han contratado a Winifred Notty para que cumpla el rol de la perfecta institutriz victoriana: dará clases a sus pupilos (francés y costura a Drusilla y álgebra e historia al pequeño Andrew) y les contará cuentos antes de dormir. Pero Ensor House y sus habitantes ocultan más perversiones y secretos que la perturbada señorita Notty, capaz de convertir un té con elegantes invitados y bebés en el salón en un acontecimiento macabro. ¿Qué ha pasado en su vida para que una fría mañana de Navidad todas las piezas del pasado y el presente encajen y un final opuesto al de un cuento de hadas nos estremezca como un regalo sangriento?
Cruelmente divertida, clásica y moderna, y dickensianamente escalofriante, Victorian Psycho confirma el original talento de «la nueva dama del thriller» (Ángeles López, La Razón).
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the acclaimed author of Mrs. March comes the riveting tale of a bloodthirsty governess who learns the true meaning of vengeance.
Grim Wolds, England: Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect governess―she’ll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children. But long, listless days spent within the estate’s dreary confines come with an intimate knowledge of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family―Mr. Pounds can’t keep his eyes off Winifred’s chest, and Mrs. Pounds takes a sickly pleasure in punishing Winifred for her husband’s wandering gaze. Compounded with her disdain for the entitled Pounds children, Winifred finds herself struggling at every turn to stifle the violent compulsions of her past. French tutoring and needlework are one way to pass the time, as is admiring the ugly portraits in the gallery . . . and creeping across the moonlit lawns. . . .
Patience. Winifred must have patience, for Christmas is coming, and she has very special gifts planned for the dear souls of Ensor House. Brimming with sardonic wit and culminating in a shocking conclusion, Victorian Psycho plunges readers into the chilling mind of an iconic
