Like a country house murder story, this novel unveils as much about all the characters as it does about the woman who so mysteriously vanish into thin air on her wedding day. Her father, her sister, her husband-to-be and his family – all have something to hide,something to fear from the collapse of their delicateweb of secrets. Set partly in a great English country house, and partly in Paris against a background of haute couture and the fashion collections, this novel has all the ingredients which have made Penny Vincenzi a bestseller.
