Meet Ivy and Rachel. Ivy is a vibrant and charismatic woman whose ex-husband, now a judge, had denied Ivy access to their son owing to the fatal drowning of their first child at her family's farm. Dull and unassuming Rachel is swept away by Ivy's life force. Total opposites, the two have become fast friends, and Rachel soon seeks justice for Ivy by confronting the judge and searching for Ivy's son. But Rachel is unaware of Ivy's manipulations and soon finds herself in over her head. A shocking climax reveals the deepest and darkest of secrets.
VERDICT Reminiscent of the psychological thrillers of Barbara Vine and Elizabeth George, Fyfield's (Casting the First Stone) U.S. debut superbly demonstrates why she is one of the best of the British crime writers at understanding the human psyche and what makes it evolve. Fyfied is a recipient of both the Gold and Silver Crime Writers' Association Daggers.
