So. Were you glad, deep down? Were you glad to be rid of her? Your perfect sister? Were you secretly glad when she was killed?
Following a horrific tragedy that leaves her once perfect family devastated, Katherine Patterson moves to a new city, starts at a new school, and looks forward to a new life of quiet anonymity.
But when Katherine meets the gregarious and beautiful Alice Parrie her resolution to live a solitary life becomes difficult.

Rebecca James
"Wenn du denkst, es geht nicht mehr, kommt von irgendwo ein Lichtlein her." Und wer denkt, so etwas passiert nur im Märchen, der liegt falsch. Denn genau so war es bei Rebecca James, Autorin des Thrillers "Die Wahrheit über Alice" ("Beautiful Malice"). Genau an dem Tag, als Familie James mit ihrem Küchendesigngeschäft Konkurs anmelden musste, erhielt Rebecca das Angebot eines Verlages für die Veröffentlichung ihres ersten Buches. "Beautiful Malice" erschien im Mai 2010 in Australien, schon ein paar Monate später war der Psychokrimi in fast 40 Sprachen übersetzt worden. Rebecca James spielt in ihrem Debüt mit dem Thema, wie sehr Menschen ihr wahres - natürlich böses - Ich verbergen können, um sich das Vertrauen anderer Menschen zu erschleichen. Für Rebecca James jedenfalls hat sich alles zum Guten gewendet - ganz anders als in ihrem Debütthriller.Das meint die buecher.de-Redaktion: "Die Wahrheit über Alice" ist ein Psycho-Krimi mit hohem Irritationspotenzial. Sind wir uns also wirklich sicher, dass unsere Freunde das sind, was sie für uns scheinen...
