London-based solicitor Alex O'Neill returns to the rural village where she grew up to help her old friend (and one-time flame) deal with the disappearance of his wife. Old memories blend with new and the plot takes many turns before the mystery is solved. ( )

An interesting whodunnit, based in England. The narrator is Alex O'Neill who works as a lawyer in the city. She has been called by an old friend to help him deal with the disappearance of his wife. To add complications he is the main suspect in the entire affair.

Enough twist and turns and divided loyalties to make it very interesting but I really didn't connect with any of the characters much. ( )

Despite a tendency to revisit each piece of evidence and each increasingly self-damning bit of testimony perhaps one time too many, Francis (Betrayal, 2002, etc.) digs satisfyingly deep into her characters and the soil from which they’ve sprung.

For Tom
First words
A familiar three-rap knock and the smooth untroubled face of Sturgess appeared around the door, bringing the drift of raucous voices in his wake. 'Champagne's flowing, Alex.'
