Product DescriptionDistrusting her husband's explanation of his first wife's disappearance and lured by her old, exciting way of life, Carrie Foster makes illicit trips to London, where she learns that those from the pasteven the deadcannot be silencedFrom Publishers WeeklyYorke invests her latest with the qualities that mark its 30 predecessors: welldefined characterizations and the ambience of British locales. If the author fails to succeed entirely here, she is nevertheless intriguing, creating a mystery about the union of a deceitful pair. In London, Gordon Matthews is freed after serving a minimum sentence for murdering his wife. Meeting pretty, seemingly innocent Carrie Foster, he tells her he is divorced, and she marries him. It's the case of a trickster tricked, for Carrie doesn't reveal her life as a prostitute. The couple settles down in suburbia where Carrie soon tired of her whining, jobless husband and goes back "on the game." While traveling to London by train, she attracts Nicholas Fitzmaurice, a young student who becomes obsessed by her. Pretending she's single and in love with Nicholas, Carrie sneaks out on dates with him, thus setting the stage for a tragedy and the mystery's synthetic denouement. Events don't quite jell because of too many issues and actors: the bitter parents of Gordon's murdered first wife, his nasty mother and others. All psychologically sound and extremely interesting, they are mostly (alas) beside the point.Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.From Library JournalGiven a light sentence for the murder of his first wife because of a miscarriage of justice, Gordon Matthews covers up the murder of his second wife even though someone else committed it. Elsewhere, the true murderer suffers from guilt and remorse; a private investigator and a sensationseeking journalist ferret out family secrets; and kinfolk of both wives attempt to protect their own interests. Veteran British author Yorke submits highcaliber domestic drama fully detailed, provocatively realized, and raptly expressed.Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
