About the Book

Henry didn't turn back when Francesca needed him twenty years before. Now, on some sort of journey to anchor his soul, he arrives in her home town of Warbling and discovers that she's even further beyond his reach - serving a life sentence for the murder of her child. Still intrigued by her, and entranced by his memories, he becomes drawn into the town and the people who knew her far better than he - her cousin, her lawyer, her closest friend, Angela, whose adopted daughter Francesca had helped her acquire. He finds himself a lodger in the House of Enchantment, an eccentric boarding house run by two gays who believe the comfort of their guests is above profit. And he finds himself incapable of believing that Francesca is a killer, even if she did confess her crime in chillingly logical detail. But if it wasn't her, then who Peopled with richly quirky and original characters, this is a novel of suspense in which the truth is better left unknown.

About the Author :

Review :
'Fyfield at her best compelling disturbing but always elegant ... ' Minette Walters 'Her knowledge of the workings of the human mind - or more correctly the soul - is second to none.' Ian Rankin 'Undiluted brilliance.' THE TIMES 'Frances Fyfield is now universally acclaimed as one of this country's finest crime writers, with a depth of psychological understanding quite the equal of the previously unassailable duo of PD James and Ruth Rendell. The intense and expressive quality of her prose illuminates narratives that both celebrate traditional storytelling values and explode them. UNDERCURRENTS may well be her most disturbing work yet... Some may wish for a longer book, but there isn't a wasted word here, and anyone in doubt as to Fyfield's position in the pantheon of English crime writing should not hesitate.' Barry Forshaw 'Fyfield's writing is always elegant and precise, her characters are finely drawn.' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Written wither her usual precision and elegance, UNDERCURRENTS is about absolution as well as pain, libertation as well as imprisonment. She gets better and better, and it will be interesting to see where she goes next.' DAILY EXPRESS 'A book full of subtle and tense explorations.' LADY 'There is a marvellous final twist, and Fyfielf beautifuly evokes the seaside in winter.' SUNDAY TIMES
