An intelligent, erotically charged thriller with deep moral
implications
Yvonne Carmichael, a renowned geneticist, public authority, and
happily married mother of two, sits in the witness box. The charge
is murder. Across the courtroom, not meeting her eye, sits her
alleged accomplice. He wears the beautiful pin-striped suit he wore
on their first meeting in the Houses of Parliament, when he put his
hand on her elbow and guided her to a deserted chapel, where she
began to undress. As the barrister's voice grows low and sinuous,
Yvonne realizes she's lost herself and the life she'd built so
carefully to a man who never existed at all.
After their first liaison, Yvonne's lover tells her very little
about himself, but she comes to suspect his secrecy has an
explanation connected with the British government. So thrilled and
absorbed is she in her newfound sexual power that she fails to
notice the real danger about to blindside her from a seemingly
innocuous angle. Then, reeling from an act of violence, Yvonne
discovers that her desire for justice and revenge has already been
compromised. Everything hinges on one night in a dark little alley
called Apple Tree Yard.
Suspenseful, erotically charged, and masterfully paced, Louise
Doughty's "Apple Tree Yard" is an intelligent psychological
thriller about desire and its consequences by a writer of
phenomenal gifts.
