书籍简介
昨天，我最后一次吻了我的丈夫…
那是1959年的夏天，加利福尼亚阳光湖修剪整齐的草坪在阳光下枯萎了。 在这个漫长的下午的某个时刻，妻子、母亲乔伊斯·哈尼(Joyce Haney)从家里消失了，留下两个吓坏了的孩子和厨房地板上的血迹。
当哈尼的邻居们忙着组织搜救队时，这个家庭的“帮手”鲁比·赖特可能掌握着解开这个令人不安的谜团的钥匙。 Ruby比任何人都更了解Sunnylakes浆洗过的窗帘背后的秘密，不久，负责此案的侦探就想要她帮忙。 但她参与进来会付出什么代价呢? 在这漫长而炎热的夏日午后，谎言、不信任和偏见不断发酵，只有一个火花才能点燃整个“完美”世界……
《漫长的下午》是一部从破碎的美国梦的心脏开始的、引人入胜的、具有深刻氛围的处女作，它既是一部引人入胜的悬疑小说，也是一部令人陶醉的作品，描写了世界各地的女性是如何被削弱、沉默、最终被低估的。
Yesterday, I kissed my husband for the last time . . .
It's the summer of 1959, and the well-trimmed lawns of Sunnylakes, California, wilt under the sun. At some point during the long, long afternoon, Joyce Haney, wife, mother, vanishes from her home, leaving behind two terrified children and a bloodstain on the kitchen floor.
While the Haney's neighbours get busy organising search parties, it is Ruby Wright, the family's 'help', who may hold the key to this unsettling mystery. Ruby knows more about the secrets behind Sunnylakes' starched curtains than anyone, and it isn't long before the detective in charge of the case wants her help. But what might it cost her to get involved? In these long hot summer afternoons, simmering with lies, mistrust and prejudice, it could only take one spark for this whole 'perfect' world to set alight . . .
A beguiling, deeply atmospheric debut novel from the cracked heart of the American Dream, The Long, Long Afternoon is at once a page-turning mystery and an intoxicating vision of the ways in which women everywhere are diminished, silenced and ultimately under-estimated.
Everyone is talking about The Long, Long Afternoon

Sunday Express
'Beautifully crafted, claustrophobic and compelling. As delicious as a long drink on a hot day'
Stacey Halls, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Familiars and The Foundling
'Such a vivid atmosphere of stifling LA heat and stifling 50s domesticity'
Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures
'Breathtakingly stylish, hypnotic and masterfully gripping'
Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End, Waterstones Thriller of the Month
'A triumph. What a pleasure to read something fresh and original. For once the hype is justified and Inga Vesper's gripping page turner must surely now be bound for Netflix'
Evening Standard
'A tasty, tense, page-turning combo of James Ellroy and Kate Atkinson with a bit of Mad Men thrown in'
Liz Hyder
'For fans of Revolutionary Road and Mad Men, this is an atmospheric tale of repression and style at the heart of the American Dream' Stylist
