3.5 stars-received arc for honest review- "You are not important enough for anyone to watch you."Sarah Fortune is a highly respected, beautiful talented lawyer. But she is bored missing something in her life. After the death of her cheating husband Sarah becomes a 'mistress' spending her evenings with lonely men. This seems to satisfy Sarah she is happy with her new routine. This all changes when she comes into contact with Charles Tysall. Before she knows what has happened Sarah is being accused of murder! She finds herself unable to escape from 'shadows'.Let me start off by saying this is not the type of novel I normally read. I had hard time getting into the book and following along. It was a good book and I did come to enjoy the book. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I also found myself slightly paranoid while reading this lol. I was not fond of the way the case ended and in a sense feel like somethings were left unanswered. This book was well written and once I was able to follow along and get into the book, I was able to read it quickly. If you enjoy crime novels and suspense I would recommend it.
I've read most of Frances Fyfield's books completely out of order; have really loved some of them and have been left disappointed by others. It was good - and a complete stroke of luck - to have picked up both the first of her Sarah Fortune and the first of the Helen West series together. This one gives the beginning of Sarah's story, puts into lovely focus how Malcolm became Malcolm and sets up the rest of the books to be read again.Fyfield's writing is effortlessly superb and endlessly enjoyable.
