El rumor (Spanish Edition)

Following her international bestseller The Instinct, Ashley Audrain returns with a psychological thriller. As summer ends, Whitney and Jacob host a barbecue for their neighbors, including Whitney's best friend Blair with her husband and daughter, and a childless couple, Rebecca and Ben. While Whitney manages work, hosting duties, and her difficult son Xavier, elderly neighbor Mara watches from her garden, observing the paper airplanes Xavier throws from his window at night. When Whitney loses patience with Xavier during the party, the other guests dismiss the incident—a choice they must reconsider months later when Xavier mysteriously falls from his window. As Xavier fights for his life, the women of Harlow Street face a decision: continue as before or finally listen to their intuition, which will expose secrets none of them wanted to confront. Audrain explores female friendship, envy, desires amplified and silenced by motherhood, and the inevitability of intuition in this thriller about the lives and secrets of women in a community.
