Critical acclaim for Frances Fyfield:
'Frances Fyfield ... is at the forefront of the latest generation of contenders for the title of British Queen of Crime ... all the physical and emotional sadism of a Jacobean revenge drama... Perfectly Pure and Good shows that she has the courage to stretch the genre to its very limit.' - Mail on Sunday
'Elegant and unnerving novel of psychological suspense ... another haunting story of romantic obsession.' - New York Times
'A novel to cherish.' - Times Literary Supplement
'A complex, unsettling novel.' - Publishers Weekly

It is the same town where Tysall spent her summer holidays.
Sarah arrives in Merton to find that her clients consist of a dotty matriarch, two brothers (one nasty and one industrious), and a daughter sadly in search of self-esteem. And along a quay studded with cheap amusements and fish-and-chip wrappers lurks a ghost, a phantom who may be more dangerous than any flesh-and-blood villain--
