1100. Adele Parks - Just Between Us


A library book from P.

I found this difficult to follow until, after finishing, I discovered in the author’s afterword, that it is part two of a book, part one of which is called ‘Both of You’. Would have been a lot easier to read had I known this and read the earlier book first!

This book begins with the police investigating the apparent death of a bigamously married woman, although nobody has been found. It then jumps to an apparently quite different character called Stacie, living with her father on the South coast, having recovered from cancer in France. The book makes no sense unless you assume that Stacie is the bigamous woman (as indeed she is), and the complex plot gradually unravels in a not entirely satisfactory way.

OK, but with hindsight I really should have read the earlier book first.
