"Evocative. . . . The plot turns gracefully on domestic issues."-Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review "Immensely pleasurable. . . . Francis is a British treasure and deserves to be equally appreciated here."-Chicago Tribune "A chilling and contemporary look at marriage, money, and ambition, and at a life in an English small town and many of the small-minded people who live there."-Dallas Morning News Alex and her husband Paul are criminal lawyers, in practice together in London. Their work is putting a strain on their marriage; she feels he is all too willing to represent the guilty. Then Will Dearden, an old friend whom she hasn't seen for 12 years, since his marriage, calls upon her for help. He still lives in Norfolk, where they grew up together. His beautiful, charming, elegant wife, Grace, has disappeared. He thinks the police aren't trying hard enough to find her. Despite-or maybe because-Alex once had a crush on Will Dearden, she goes to his aid. She discovers that Will had very good motives for murdering Grace, who, though undoubtedly beautiful, was not after all so very charming to be married to. Worse, Alex's younger brother may be deeply involved in Grace's disappearance. Alex must find out what has happened to Grace for all their sakes. Clare Francis's novels of suspense, Deceit and Betrayal, were number one bestsellers in England. She lives in London.
