'Intriguing absorbing and compelling' Spectator
Jenny's marriage is loveless and she is having an affair. She works at an old people's home where she is especially fond of Stella a gracious dignified woman dying of cancer - whose own secrets parallel Jenny's - with the difference that she may have been involved in murdering her lover's husband . . .
Both a finely crafted mystery and a disturbingly honest depiction of the kinship between love and madness The Brimstone Wedding tells an unsettling story about the power and the poison of love. If you enjoy the crime novels of P.D. James Ian Rankin and Scott Turow you will adore this book.
