Description:
“A fine yarn…. The pace
is fast, the plot well-knit, with plenty of suspense and surprise as extra
dividends.”
– Chicago Tribune.
Phoebe Wycherly was
missing two months before her wealthy father hired Archer to find her. That was
plenty of time for a young girl who wanted to disappear to do so thoroughly – or
for someone to make her disappear. And before he can locate the Wycherly
girl, Archer had to reckon with the Wycherly woman, Phoebe's mother, an eerily
unmaternal blonde who keeps too many residences, had too many secrets, and left
too many corpses in her wake.
“Macdonald
is one of a handful of writers in the [mystery] genre whose worth and quality
surpass the limitations of the form.” – Los Angeles Times.
