~ Book Synopsis ~
Sarah Fortune is bored to death – but few know,
and less would guess, how the beautiful and successful lawyer escapes the stultifying tedium of her
career. Since the death of her unfaithful husband, she has been moonlighting as a generous mistress,
offering intimate company to lonely men. Sarah is satisfied with her routine. But then she meets Charles
Tysall, an important client of the firm, whose charisma and enormous wealth conceal an implacable will
and a misogynist’s mad aggression. Soon Sarah finds herself implicated in a murder when a decaying
body is found of the coast. Inexorably, Sarah is hurdling towards a confrontation where there will be no
escape from the shadows, no turning from the face of lethal obsession…

About the Author
I grew up
in rural Derbyshire, but my adult life has been spent mostly in London, with long intervals in Norfolk
and Deal, all inspiring places. I was educated mostly in convent schools; then studied English and went
on to qualify as a solicitor, working for what is now the Crown Prosecution Service, thus learning a bit
about murder at second hand. Years later, writing became the real vocation, although the law and its
ramifications still haunt me and inform many of my novels.
I’m a novelist,
short story writer for magazines and radio, sometime Radio 4 contributor, (Front Row, Quote Unquote,
Night Waves,) and presenter of Tales from the Stave. When I’m not working (which is as often as
possible), I can be found in the nearest junk/charity shop or auction, looking for the kind of paintings
which enhance my life. Otherwise, with a bit of luck, I’m relaxing by the sea with a bottle of wine and a
friend or two.

My Review
While it wasn't perfect, I still enjoyed Shadows on the Mirror. I enjoyed learning the characters and Sarah & Malcolm's interactions. The overall storyline was good. Though the beginning to me was a bit slow, once it picked up towards the middle it didn't stop. Frances shows a lot of creativity; this story holds a little mischief and a little romance. All together a good read.
