Nicci French is, in my opinion, an accomplished fiction writer, and this book Losing You [ISBN 978 0 141 03541 3] has a good plot, a straightforward, narrative that moves along quite well. Characters are pretty well drawn without being tedious as well. However, it has my most unfavourite story topic – a child abduction, which so upsets and unsettles me I read the book with little pleasure and lots of dread.
