Clare Morrall Press Reviews
'Down at the core, beneath its several layers, THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED is a well-crafted suspense story...Morrall digs beneath the surface to mine psychological nuggets, some of them gold.'
Rachel Hore, Independent on Sunday
'A wise, intelligent and surprising novel, in which -- as in life -- nothing is simple'
Kate Saunders, The Times
'A highly achieved, engrossing read... Superbly imagined, it reads like documentary truth.'
Tom Adair, Scotsman
'Compelling...In clear, concise prose, Morrall movingly depicts Kate's strength in the face of adversity, and Felix's excoriating regret at the damage done.'
Marie Claire
'An absorbing novel about deception and self-discovery'
