Product Description

Review

'A new thriller by this brilliant author is always an event.' Tim Manderson, Publishing News 'Her knowledge of the workings of the human mind - or more correctly the soul - is second to none.' Ian Rankin 'Undiluted brilliance.' The Times 'The best female crime writer in this country' Sunday Express


Product Description

Richard Beaumont hoped to see the elusive chough on the Dover cliffs. Instead he sees a young woman falling to her death. No-one recognises her, no-one has reported her missing, and Richard returns, shaken, to his new young wife, but instead of finding solace in Lilian's company, he locks himself away and obsessively paints the scene of the woman's broken body on the rocks. His cool behaviour towards her takes Lilian to the flat below and the wordly-wise company of Sarah Fortune. But Sarah, once Richard's lover, is awkward with her and is also preoccupied with her brother's unbreakable habit of cat-burglary, and the suspicious traffic to the penthouse at the top of the mansion block. Unable to forget what he witnessed, Richard returns to the coast and is befriended by the local police surgeon. Recently widowed, John is depressed, not so much by his wife's death but by the realisation that his marriage had been a loveless void. Recognising the symptoms, Richard introduces him to Sarah, so that she can no longer ignore the Beaumonts' troubles and is drawn into helping to trace where the dead girl came from and in so doing reveals a trade which is both breath-takingly lucrative and chillingly cruel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Fyfield's Best, 31 Dec 2006
By P.M. Wood "Penny" (South Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Looking Down (Paperback)
An artist sitting under a cliff bird watching is disturbed by the body of a young girl hurtling past. Instead of reporting it immediately, or going to her assistance, he continues sketching. He sketches the body. He becomes a suspect, though it is not certain whether she killed herself or was thrown from the cliff. The police doctor makes friends with him. Together, with the help of Sarah Fortune and other residents of the apartment building in which Richard Beaumont lives they piece events together and uncover the perpetrators of the girl's murder and the crime that has been going on under their noses.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mildly disappointing, 1 Sep 2005
By H. Brookman "coorong" (West Sussex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Looking Down (Paperback)
I've never read Frances Highfield before but the obsequious reviews led me to buy this. The chief problem is that she doesn't bother to develop her central character Sarah Fortune. She must assume you already know her, which is a problem if you don't, so whilst she's very sympathetic and all that, she barely has any character at all.The plot is just acceptable and the other characters have more validity, so you'll finish the book and be interested enough to find it worth writing a review.
