Synopsis

A gripping and suspenseful novel about secrets, betrayal, and the power of the past.

Clive and Martha have been a couple since they met at university; they now have a young daughter, Eliza, and on the surface, all seems well in their family. But neither Martha nor young Eliza know that the story of this happy marriage harbors a secret scene: a momentary betrayal that could have destroyed the marriage before it even began. Only Clive knows about the trap door in their history but he's convinced that, with the intervening years, the incident has lost its power.

But when Eliza comes home from school one day and excitedly announces that she has a new piano teacher called Eliot Fox, the guise of domestic tranquility threatens to shatter. The enigmatic Eliot Fox knows the secret that Clive is desperate to keep hidden. As her presence in the family's life grows, so too does the ominous shadow of the past that looms over Clive.

Glazebrook's darkly suspenseful tale of a family in crisis reveals how seemingly ordinary lives can contain extraordinary acts of destruction. Told with intensity and penetrating emotion, Never Mind Miss Fox is a compelling tale of guilt, justice, and what it really means to make amends.

This was probably a 2 1/2 stars - it wasn't that I didn't think it was good, it was a quick read and you certainly felt as if you were reading the story from the different perspective of each character; however, the only character I felt any empathy or indeed interest in, was Eliza. The rest of them......more

Goodreads review by Dana on August 20, 2014

I won this book through goodreads, which is why I resisted posting a not so great review. Although this book was described as suspenseful I just didn't feel that way about it. I wasn't all that interested to find out what would happen to the characters, all of whom seemed flat. I couldn't connect to......more

Goodreads review by Melissa (Semi-hiatus for Work) on May 07, 2021

Glazebrook’s novel has potential, yet it never fully delivers on the sinister mood the description implies. The deep secrets alluded to are not all that surprising and none of the characters evoke much sympathy. As a cautionary tale this book is worthwhile, but as a whole, it is fairly mediocre. Cliv......more

Goodreads review by Deb (Readerbuzz) on September 25, 2014

I don’t like to post reviews of books that disappoint me. I do it, nevertheless, as a public service; I would want to know if I was going to walk into a book that might waste my time. Consider this a public service, then. My frank opinion: This is a perfectly fine story, but the tension the book blur......more
