Sarah Fortune is a successful solicitor whose husband's death in a car accident revealed that he was not all that honest. When she finally begins "dating" again, Sarah chooses men whom she refuses to become emotionally attached to, yet she decides to offer them what they desire. However, Charles Tysall, a wealthy client with Sarah's firm, has his eye on her as a possible replacement for his long-missing wife. As a suitor, he is controlling and extremely dark. When a body is discovered, suspicion falls on him and on Sarah.
VERDICT Fyfield delves well into the different characters' psyche and ambitions, and readers who appreciate psychological mysteries such as those penned by Barbara Vine/Ruth Rendell or Minette Walters will enjoy this series. British crime writer Fyfield wrote this novel in 1989, and it was released in the United States in 1991. But as the hardcover edition has been long out of print, this ebook reissue will be a welcome substitute.
