Críticas

"Thriller Award-winner Deaver's excellent third novel featuring Kathryn Dance (after 2009's "Roadside Crosses") takes the California Bureau of Investigation agent on a vacation . . . plenty of surprises and red herrings complement developments in Dance's problematic relations with boyfriend Jon Boling and Det. Michael O'Neil . . . Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs, the leads of Deaver's other series, make cameo appearances in a novel sure to please fans of both."--"Publishers Weekly"(starred review)

"Fans of Deaver's celebrated sleuthing marathons will wait with bated breath as this onion is peeled to disclose multiple layers of deception, betrayal and triple crosses."--"Kirkus Reviews"

"Written with Deaver's usual keen eye for dialogue and character and featuring his customary right-angle plot twists, the novel will be a sure-fire hit with not only his legion of fans but also with readers who have yet to sample a Deaver novel. And Deaver fans who have felt that the Dance novels aren't quite as sharp as his Lincoln Rhyme series might have to think again. This may be the most compelling of the Dance books."--"Booklist"

"Deaver is a master of manipulation. "XO" delivers more twists than a bag of pretzels, and just when readers believe they have everything figured out, another surprise awaits them."--Associated Press

"Deaver's infernal puzzle mysteries invariably inspire words like devious, diabolical, and devilish, all of which apply to "XO". It's Dance's toughest case, and one of Deaver's best books."--"New York Times Book Review"

"In his new thriller, "XO", Jeffery Deaver gives his readers triple or quadruple their money, with more twists, turns, and doglegs than an East Tennessee back road. . . . Just when you think you've finally hit the straightaway in "XO", there's another series of hairpins in your path."--"Knoxville News-Sentinel"

"Just in time for poolside season, Jeffery Deaver gives us "XO". . . . Deaver's talent will keep you plugging away."--"St. Louis Post-Dispatch"

"In XO, Deaver challenges the reader, entertains the reader, and satisfies the reader. If every successful book is a notch on his computer he has just added one more mark."--HuffingtonPost.com

"Sharply drawn characters, fully realized protagonists, and unexpected plot twists will keep readers guessing until the very last page. Deaver is one of this country's most popular writers and he proves with his latest book that he is at the top of his game."--TucsonCitizen.com

Reseña del editor

International #1 bestseller Jeffery Deaver delivers a sensational thriller in which a beautiful young country-pop singer is stalked by an obsessive fan who thinks her big hit song was written just for him. Features Deaver's popular character California Bureau of Investigation agent Kathryn Dance.

Kayleigh Towne’s music career is just reaching new heights with her huge hit single “Your Shadow”—but increased fame is also bringing unwanted attention. An innocent exchange with one of her fans, signed with an “XO,” leads Kayleigh into the dangerous and terrifying realm of obsession.

Edwin Sharp thinks Kayleigh’s songs contain messages that speak directly to him. Despite her clear rejection and threats from lawyers and law enforcers, he remains convinced that “Your Shadow” was written just for him, and he announces he’s coming for Kayleigh. Then a potentially fatal accident occurs at the concert hall where Kayleigh is rehearsing for a triumphant hometown performance, and she is convinced that someone—maybe Edwin—was there watching her from the darkness.

Speeding along over just three short days, this nail-biting thriller is filled with terrifying twists that will hold readers in rapt suspense until the final shocking revelation.
