REVIEWS: "Unforgotten" by Clare Francis PDF Print E-mail

Latest reviews for Clare Francis's sensational new thriller Unforgotten, due out in paperback in November 2008:

'Devilishly clever is the dependable Clare Francis...It's a cliché, but this one really was unputdownable' Daily Mail

'An expertly rendered tale with psychological tension, pyrotechnics, courtroom drama, good old-fashioned detection and some well-deployed red herrings' Guardian

'Clare Francis has produced a very fine novel indeed. The structure is taut and fragile, and her prose is impeccable. Her use of landscape is exceptional, and captures a time and a place that has all but vanished.'

Independent

 

'Both murder mystery and domestic drama, Unforgotten tells the story of solicitor Hugh Gwynne' Financial Times Magazine

'Francis draws you in and keeps you guessing' Woman & Home Magaine

'Francis skilfully constructs a slow burning thriller that derives its impact from a firm grounding in the processes of the legal system and the dynamics of happy and unhappy families' The Spectator

'The plot intricate and the solution ingenious. A very good read' The Scotsman
