Nombre de pages: 0

Avec La Femme de Ménage, Freida McFadden a conquis des millions de lecteurs et redéfini, à sa manière, les contours du suspense psychologique moderne. Comment un roman aussi modeste dans sa forme a-t-il pu s'imposer avec autant de force dans le paysage éditorial américain, et au-delà ? Dans cet essai vif, accessible et nuancé, Ines Gavin explore les raisons de ce succès fulgurant. Elle analyse le style de McFadden, ses personnages, la mécanique narrative qui capte l'attention, mais aussi le rôle des réseaux sociaux, des plateformes de lecture numérique et des nouvelles dynamiques de visibilité. Au fil des pages, se dessine une réflexion plus large sur le genre du domestic thriller, la place des femmes dans la fiction contemporaine, et l'avenir de la littérature populaire. L'autrice tisse également des parallèles éclairants avec d'autres trajectoires singulières, comme celle de l'auteur indépendant Vincent B. Corren, qui interroge avec justesse les silences d'un quotidien en apparence banal. Un essai passionnant pour les lecteurs curieux, les passionnés de thrillers, et tous ceux qui s'interrogent sur ce que signifie "le succès" en littérature aujourd'hui.
