Book description
A dream wedding becomes a nightmare - as the bride disappears. The
night before her lavish wedding to Oliver Bergin, Cressida Forrest went
to bed serene and happy. By morning she had vanished - without apparent
cause, and without trace. Shocked, anxious and uncomprehending, the two
families face a long and painful day of revelations, as a complex,
fragile web of sexual, marital and financial secrets is ripped apart by
Cressida's disappearance. And the question they are all forced to ask is
who really was the woman they thought they knew - perfect daughter,
sister, lover and wife never to be? 'Seductively readable... I carried
