Clare Francis - A Death Divided

review by Brian Lowen on show 2nd Feb 2012
What you might call a ‘find the girl’ type story. Rather disappointing for me as Clare has written some good books with a bit more action in them than this one, but I’m sure other readers will find it to their taste.

Joe, struggling to survive his job in a high-powered law firm, is faced with the challenge of finding his childhood friend, Jenna, who has been missing for four years. But has she disappeared through her own choice or is she under the influence of her husband, the restless, troubled Chetwood?

For Joe, the search is a matter of duty, but also of conscience, for he introduced them to each other, and he was enthralled by them both.

Helped by his prickly girl-friend, Sarah, Joe manages to find the beautiful, faded Jenna, only to realize too late that he has set some terrible events in motion.

Good character building of the people involved with good descriptive scenes, but a bit too tame for my liking.
