A Mulher da Ala 9

Rate this book
Laura Winters perdeu a memória.
Não faz ideia do que aconteceu, ou do motivo pelo qual foi encontrada sozinha, coberta com o sangue de outra pessoa.
A única certeza que tem é que eu sou a única psicóloga com quem está disposta a falar.
Tenho apenas seis dias para a ajudar na recuperação e desvendar a verdade sobre o que se passou.
O que terá ela esquecido?
E o que estará a esconder?
E… como é que ela me conhece tão bem?
Claustrofóbico e perturbante, este livro vai envolvê-lo numa teia de mistério e suspense que o fará virar página após página pela noite fora.

320 pages, Paperback

My first read from this author was a slow start but got interesting. Laura can't remember what happened to her she was covered in blood. With the help of a psychologist, Emma, will she find the answers?There's lots of twists and turns that keep you guessing. My rating is 3.5 rounded to 4 as I would have liked to be a faster paced read.....

An intense pace and everything was explained. I just had issues with the psychiatric ward and how they allowed that to happen. I know it’s fiction and it made sense, but it just made me uncomfortable.

Nota sinceră ar fi fost 3,5⭐. Povestea per total este interesantă, dar i-a lipsit ceva. Poate are prea multe detalii care să te facă să mergi neapărat pe o pistă falsă. Am început să intuiesc finalul undeva pe la 3/4 din carte și recunosc că a fost unul inteligent, dar parcă și el a fost prezentat într-un mod rudimentar.

În plus, pe tot parcursul cărții ne-am învârtit în cerc, iar informațiile noi veneau destul de lent.

Până la urmă, cred că de vina a fost stilul de scriere, nu ideea în sine. Așa că decid să o recomand totuși, poate alții o vor simți mult mai închegată.

4.5 stars! Laura Winters was found alone, soaked in somebody else’s blood. She doesn’t remember what happened or why she has lost her memory. The only thing she is certain of is that the only psychologist she can talk to is Emma Best. Emma has just six days to unlock Laura’s memories to find out the truth.

This thriller was a complete mindfuck and I love that! It had a cleverly crafted plot which I loved. My only criticism is that I found the pace a little slow at the very start, but the intrigue of the situation kept me invested. By the time I got to the last 55% of the book, I was racing through it and could barely put it down! I really really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Headline books for providing me with an ARC of this book to review! All opinions are my own.

✨ Gostei muito deste livro. Adorei ver a evolução da investigação psicológica, todos o plano terapêutico. Este livro aborda temas como violência doméstica, saúde mental e conduta profissional.
✨ Desde o primeiro momento, a autora conseguiu incutir uma atmosfera sombria, fria e claustrofóbica, que me agarrou logo. Sabem aquela sensação que algo está mal, mesmo mal, e só queremos descobrir o que é? E o final ..aí o final, e aí o epílogo!!Fiquei pasma!

3,5*, dar nerotunjite la 4* pentru că nu mi-a plăcut finalul dpdv moral.

Nu știu ce să spun fără să dau spoilere, deci o să mă rezum doar la câteva idei.

Lucrurile au fost foarte previzibile și aici includ și epilogul.
Am în minte un alt titlu care a făcut mai bine ceea ce a încercat autoarea aici.

Sunt chestii forțate de dragul poveștii, căci cartea merge pe o idee curajoasă și provocatoare, care-i strică credibilitatea.

Totuși, m-am simțit antrenată-n acțiune și m-a prins încă de la început, deci pot spune că e destul de captivantă.
Un alt plus este și faptul că mi-am tot făcut teorii și-am încercat să rezolv misterul înainte de a o face autoarea.

Una peste alta mi-a plăcut, dar se putea mai bine 😂.

AD-PR PRODUCT

An easy to read psychological suspense novel!

This was a well written book that commenced with an intriguing prologue that had me racing to uncover what had happened. I thought the start was a little slow, but the pace soon fastened with each turn of the page.

Whilst emitting slight The Silent Patient vibes, this book was still unique in its own way. I found this book very predictable though, and although I hadn’t sussed out how it would be achieved, I did crack what would happen quite early on. Perhaps I’ve read too many thrillers? 🤣

I wasn’t a fan of the characters as they were just so annoying, but I think this was Williams’ purpose, and it worked well in this read. I just didn’t know who to trust or who had an ulterior motive.

I liked the fragments of the past scattered in throughout to help drive the story and how everything came head to head at the end. Overall, this was a decent read that I devoured in a few sittings.

A huge thank you @headlinebooks for this copy of The Woman in Ward 9 that is published today. Happy Pub Day! ☺️

The Woman in Ward 9 by Naomi Williams offers a gripping, if at times unsettling, look into the lives within a psychiatric ward. The author masterfully crafts a tense atmosphere, where the lines between sanity and delusion blur for both the patients and the reader. The character development, particularly of the 'woman,' is compelling, drawing you deeper into her complex world. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release.

Доволі цікавий психологічний трилер. Історія розкачується не відразу, але далі читається вже на одному подиху. Приблизно з середини книги з’явилося відчуття, що я вже читала щось подібне, тож була майже впевнена, що знаю, чим усе закінчиться. Але останній розділ буквально перевернув враження 😅
Окремо сподобався стиль авторки - короткі, змістовні розділи. І ще приємний бонус - якісне й красиве оформлення від Yakaboo Publishing.

The blurb:
Laura Winters doesn't know why she has lost her memory, or why she was found alone, soaked in someone else's blood.

The only thing she is certain of is that I am the only psychologist she can - or will - talk to.

I have six days to help Laura unlock her memories and find out the truth.

But what has she forgotten - and what is she hiding?

My thoughts:
This book was a gripping twisty read. There were moments in the book where I was convinced I knew what was going on, and the next thing I know there was a twist, followed by another twist and I was completely thrown!

I loved the going back and forth between the present and past thoughts… I found it interesting that Emma found similarities to Laura the more they spoke…

It felt like the book was packed full of secrets, and I wasn’t sure who to trust. The psychiatric unit, the staff and the rules all felt bizarre and added to the suspense and mystery that was forming as the story went on.

Such a clever story, I was hooked from the start and struggled to put it down. That ending, OMG!

For those who enjoy a slow paced book this one is for you.
There's plenty of twists and turns in this story that will keep you guessing.
This is the authors thriller debut and she did a cracking job.

I guessed the main twist about 20% into the book, but it was still good to see how it all unfolded through out and the additional twist

Far-fetched, pretentious and an unsatisfactory ending. The tri-fecta of bad murder books. Oh, and extremely predictable.

Se querem um bom thriller psicológico, escolham este livro!

Fiquei agarrada desde as primeiras páginas.
Uma mulher é encontrada em sua casa, toda ensanguentada mas sem qualquer ferimento. De quem é aquele sangue todo e como é que foi parar naquela mulher que não se lembra de absolutamente nada?
Emma, uma psicóloga experiente em casos de violência doméstica, encontra-se numa instituição psiquiátrica para levar Laura a lembrar-se de como foi ali parar.
Todo o ambiente da instituição é claustrofóbico e durante a leitura fui acompanhando todas as reações da paciente e psicóloga com bastante ansiedade.
Há várias questões que são levantadas durante a história e há alguns saltos ao passado que ainda me provocaram mais dúvidas e inquietação.
A autora inclui umas informações relacionadas com algumas personagens secundárias que, no meu entender, eram escusadas.
Esta história também revela que há pessoas boas que em determinadas circunstâncias têm de tomar opções que infelizmente prejudicam o outro.

O final é surpreendente e fez-me refletir acerca das relações que vamos estabelendo ao longo da vida.

Динамічний трилер, який тримає увагу, але не стає головоломкою.
З одного боку, історія затягує і читається швидко. З іншого — досвідченому оку розгадка стає очевидною майже одразу. Хоча авторка і намагалася заплутати сліди у фіналі (коли ти вже думаєш "ну все ясно", а там виринає ще кілька поворотів), загальну суть я вловила десь на 50 сторінці.
Тема аб’юзу та маніпуляцій тут центральна, проте описана вона дуже прямолінійно, місцями нагадуючи методичку з психології. Непогано, але не вау.

4,5💫 Цікавий і захопливий трилер, який читається дуже швидко й постійно тримає в напрузі.

Так, деякі сюжетні повороти для мене, як для досвідченого читача трилерів, були доволі передбачуваними, але це жодним чином не зіпсувало загального враження від історії.

Особливо рекомендую тим, хто лише починає знайомство з трилерами та детективами, або читачам, яким свого часу зайшла «Мовчазна пацієнтка» Алекса Майклідіса.

Vou ser extremamente sincera, demorei horrores a ler este livro, só começou-me a despertar interesse após a página 200.
O plot está do caraças mesmo, mas demora bastante a desenvolver a história.
De resto é surreal mesmo o final do livro, não estava de todo à espera, deu uma reviravolta 360, surreal.
Não dou 5 ⭐️porque achei bastante intrigante.

What a wild ride! Part of the way through I did start to question if Emma was being Shutter Island-ed. After the twist I was thinking that it didn’t make sense how much Laura knew about Connor and Emma’s relationship and then that final chapter hit! I do wonder if Laura is going to be caught though because Emma finally remembers what happened but maybe no one takes anything that she says seriously anymore so she’ll be in a mental hospital for a murder she didn’t commit for the rest of her life.
