A Double Life by Flynn Berry

The Blurb On The Back:

Claire’s father is a privileged man: handsome, brilliant, the product of an aristocratic lineage and an expensive education, surrounded by a group of devoted friends who would do anything for him.

But when he becomes the prime suspect in a horrific attack on Claire’s mother, a scandal erupts. Claire’s father disappears overnight, his car abandoned, blood on the front seat.

Thirty years after that hellish night, Claire is obsessed with uncovering the truth, and she knows that the answer lies with the same friends who all those years before had answered the call to protect one of their own.

Because they know where Claire’s father is.

They helped him escape.

And it’s time their pristine lives met her fury.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Flynn Berry’s literary psychological thriller is a shallow affair that’s inspired by the Lord Lucan affair but while I believed in Claire’s obsession with knowing the truth, she never really engages with other characters sufficiently enough to make her seem rounded and her “investigation” is driven by chance and happenstance until an abrupt ending that I found very unsatisfying.
