A criminal lawyer returns home to investigate the disappearance of the wife of an old family friend-and soon discovers a web of secrets and betrayals darker than she could have imagined Grace Dearden is a woman so beautiful and virtuous that no one would dare question her excellence or standing in the community. When Grace disappears-seemingly evaporating into the eerie Norfolk marshes-and police investigations fail to find her, her husband, Will, enlists the help of longtime friend and criminal lawyer Alexandra O'Neill-who will stop at nothing to uncover the secret of Grace Dearden's disappearance. A tale of politics and scandal, adultery and betrayal, this thriller delights in unlocking a deep family secret that has plagued the Deardens for years. Written many years before Gillian Flynn's #1 New York Times bestseller, international bestselling author Clare Francis's A Dark Devotion is a British Gone Girl
