Of the two Marlow sisters, Fay was the pretty, popular one, the apple of her father's eye. Ellie was the quiet, dependable one. At 19, Fay met and married Olympic athlete Jeremy Page. Less than a year later, he walked out, leaving Fay with a new baby and a shattered heart. Ellie, of course, picked up the pieces. Soon after, Fay announced that she would marry Patrick Nelson, despite the fact that Ellie had secretly loved Patrick for years. This time, Fay's husband stuck around for 20 years before deserting Fay and her four daughters. Coincidentally--and suspiciously--he left at almost exactly the same time that Jeremy's body was found in a dumpster. Switching between past and present, this is a story about families--especially the relationships between fathers and daughters and between siblings--with elements of generational saga and murder mystery thrown in for good measure. With echoes of Rosamund Pilcher's slice-of-life romances, keen psychological insights reminiscent of Ruth Rendell, and an intriguing cast of diverse characters, Fraser's latest is a charming and engaging genre bender.
