Sinopsis

Una mujer joven a quien no le ha ido demasiado bien en la vida se reconvierte a incrédula lectora de auras en Spiritual Palms, un dudoso negocio de artes esotéricas en cuya trastienda se gestiona otro tipo de necesidades digamos que más terrenales. Una mañana entra en la tienda Susan Burke, una mujer bella y adinerada que le propone purificar de presencias malignas su casa. Cuando la «vidente» visita la sombría mansión victoriana, se da cuenta de que ha llegado la hora de creer en exorcismos. Poco ayuda la presencia del hijastro de su clienta, el adolescente Miles, un jovencito de modales inquietantes y torva imaginación. La crítica ha dicho: «El adulto es una narración redonda, un teaser formidable que tendrá a los fans de Flynn enganchados mientras esperan su nueva novela. Nos presenta, como solo ella sabe hacer, a una protagonista completísima, que os caerá bien y en quien se podría creer a pies juntillas pese a ser una persona carcomida por la corrupción.» The Independent «Una novela corta de pura tensión psicológica, narrada desde el punto de vista de una estafadora cuyo truco final podría fracasar por culpa de cierto adolescente malévolo.» Vogue «Un cuento salvaje, escrito con bisturí.» Metro «Los relatos largos deberían tener tanta tensión como ambigüedad, y El adulto las tiene.» The Spectator «Es un gran placer leer algo tan fugaz y a la vez tan terrorífico.» Westdeutscher Zeitung «La mayor pega: se hace demasiado corto.» Elena Ramírez, La Voz de Galicia
