The Missing World

"This is intelligent fiction, vigorous both in its observation of human foible and in its speculation on the role that memory plays in underwriting our sense of choice and direction in our lives."—The New York Times Book Review

"Delicate and terrifying . . . a modern-day Rebecca."—The Boston Globe

"The sort of old-fashioned tale that Maugham would have admired—its thrills are understated, delicious, and not to be missed . . . [Livesey's] style recalls the early, best Hitchcock, as evil unfolds in the most commonplace of circumstances."—The Washington Post Book World

"A page-turner: suspenseful, crisp, beautifully crafted . . . Livesey is a riveting storyteller as masterful as Patricia Highsmith or Ruth Rendell."—The San Diego Union-Tribune

"Darkly humorous . . . a Shakespearean comedy with Murdochian overtones."—The New Yorker
