Maska srama

Minette Walters

Klasik ženskog britanskog trillera, Maska srama (1994.), autorice popularnog romana Kiparica, mračan je psihološki triler o manipulaciji, obiteljskim tajnama i granicama ljudske okrutnosti.

Mathilda Gillespie, ekscentrična i zlobna starica iz malog engleskog gradića, pronađena je mrtva u kadi: prerezane žile, prazna bočica tableta za spavanje, a na glavi metalni kavez – srednjovjekovna "maska srama" ukrašena koprivama i tratinčicama. Je li to samoubojstvo ili ubojstvo?

Liječnica Sarah Blakeney, Mathildina povjerljivica, i detektiv Jack Shaylor ulaze u vrtlog istrage. Kućanica Jenny Spede, opsjednuta znatiželjom, čita Mathildine danevnike, otkrivajući slojeve prošlosti: pohlepu nasljednika, požudu, nasilje i traume koje su oblikovale Mathildinu okrutnost. Svaki lik krije laži, a istina se razotkriva kroz nepredvidive preokrete.

Roman istražuje kako riječi i sjećanja postaju oružje, kritizirajući patrijarhalne norme i psihološke posljedice zlostavljanja. Walters, majstorica napetosti, gradi priču kroz višestruke perspektive, čineći je neodoljivom za ljubitelje krimića.
