Synopsis

When Fran Varady is approached by Private Investigator Clarence Duke, she mistrusts him on instinct. But she can't ignore what he has to tell her. Her mother, Eva, who walked out on Fran when she was only seven years old, has hired Clarence to find her daughter. And for good reason. Eva is dying. Within days, Fran is reunited with the mother she hasn't seen for fifteen years, and is soon to lose again. But the biggest bombshell is still to come. Eva has another child—a daughter she gave up soon after her birth—and she wants Fran to find her. Matters aren't helped by the fact that slippery Clarence Duke seems intent on discovering what she's up to. But it's when he's found dead in his car outside Fran's home that the trouble really begins . . .

Originally published on my blog here in January 2002. In this Fran Varady novel, it is not (for once) the fault of her curiosity that she is caught up in a murder mystery. She is suddenly contacted by a private detective, who has traced her for Fran's mother. She had left Fran's father when Fran was......more

Goodreads review by Judith on December 31, 2018

I've just re-read this great story. After struggling through a couple of very poorly written novels, I turn to a tried and tested writer I can rely on for a great plot with lots of twists and turns, good characterisation and a brilliant sense of tension and excitement. Why isn't this lady getting the......more

Goodreads review by Lizzie on January 03, 2024

Having been evicted from her house sitting by the odious Bertie and Charlie, Fran Varady is now again homeless, or as her friend Ganesh puts it, dossing in his Uncle Haris’s garage, which is situated at the rear of the newsagests he runs. Which doesn’t sound too bad until one considers the petrol sm......more
