'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' -- Grazia
