This is a good British crime book. An old friend of a criminal lawyer turns up begging for her help in finding his missing wife. So Alex returns to her childhood home in northern England, where her brother is now Lord of the Manor, her old friend seems to be keeping some secrets from her, and the impression Alex gets of the missing wife gets grimmer and grimmer. Excellent plot with plenty of twists and the clues are all fair. Well written and gripping, I plan on reading more of Francis’ novels.
