With Where Have You Been? Wendy James proves herself a master of suburban suspense.
Wendy James’s third novel is structured like a symphony…. Skilful structuring, fine, flexible writing and suspense that comes to a satisfying, if not limitingly cut-and-dried conclusion, make this social-realist novel as hard to put down as any thriller.
The narrative’s power and cumulative suspense call to mind Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo.
James has cleverly crafted this novel in true thriller style, making the reader second-guess at every opportunity. Where Have You Been? is a novel you’ll not want to put down.
