A Double Life

Rachel

This was bad, I kept thinking it was going to get better, but it did not. Claire's dad is accused of attacking her mother but ended up killing the wrong person and has been on the run for over a decade and she believes his rich socialite friends helped him. She befriends one of the daughters of his friends hoping to find out more information about where he may be. Sounds decent right, but there is zero character development for anyone, not even the main character. This book felt it could of used an extra 100 to 150 pages of story because once she starts befriending the other woman everything moves quick to a point where major developments to the story are kind of glossed over and I was left wondering how did she come to certain conclusions.

A gripping, intense, stunningly written novel of psychological suspense from the award-winning author of Under the Harrow, inspired by one of the most famous unsolved crimes of the 20th century.

Her mother insisted she'd seen him in the house that night, but his powerful, privileged friends maintained his innocence. The first lord accused of murder in more than a century, he has been missing ever since"--
