| Description |
Clarissa Hailsham-Brown is so given to romancing that when she does tell the truth no one believes her. Drug-peddling, complicated family relationships, the disposal of a body, suspects and red herrings a-plenty all contribute to a complicated plot which thriller addicts will enjoy trying to unravel. |
