Slightly confusingly, Gabriela's timeline runs over a number of years whereas Isobel's is just a few days. A horrendous murder has been committed, a well heeled father, Colin Spenser, has been accused, blood is later found in his abandoned car, and his children and wife are left to pick up the pieces.

And she ended it rather well, I thought, avoiding the melodramatic damsel in extreme distress that can overshadow an otherwise well-written thriller. Overall I have to say that I did prefer Under the Harrow to A Double Life since the former had more to offer in the way of atmosphere with its setting in the English countryside, but I did really enjoy this as well. it's a cliffhanger, so I hope Philby is already working on a sequel because I NEED to know what happens next.While this is a significant novel and one that should be read for its daring and originality, it is also a bit of a burden. While pedophilia is suggested and not written about directly, the novel illustrates just how wide-ranging the damage caused by sexual abuse to a child can lead the victim to want to kill themselves when they become an adult.

Every time Clare hears of a sighting of her father, she becomes more and more convinced he is alive and living free. La protagonista es una mujer en sus treintas, médico de familia e hija de un conocido asesino, el padre cometió su crimen cuando ella contaba con ocho años de edad y nunca fue detenido y sigue prófugo. The build-up and suspense author Flynn Berry created in the beginning through three-quarters the way through this book was incredible. Whenever Dylan is down the critical dumper, Heylin is his defender, and the reverse is true: this can skew the reading experience, minimising the important moments in Dylan’s career and interfering with the storytelling.

Claire was a young child when someone broke into her home, killed her nanny and brutally attacked her mother.
