An Oxford Revenge- Faith Martin(writing as Maxine Barry)- Romantic suspense
“REVENGE ISN'T ALWAYS AS SWEET AS YOU THINK-HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR
REVENGE?”
Davina Grainger, a famous poet has arrived in Oxford. She has one person that she is
focussed on, the person she feels is responsible for her brothers suicide- Dr Gareth
Lacey. She is determined to destroy him as he destroyed her brother. On meeting him
she finds he isn’t what she imagined him to be at all- in fact she is rather drawn to him
in a romantic way. Meanwhile some undergraduates are preparing an end of term
play. Alicia is writing it despite adversity from her famous professional critic brother
and Jared is directing. They too are romantically linked. Alicia’s brother however has
his eye on someone else for Alicia- the leading man whose father just happens to be
an Earl. Two stories, two romances. One woman out for revenge with a plan up her
sleeve to discredit Gareth. I enjoyed this. There is the wonderful writing that is
Faith’s style, a good plot line (or two) and some likeable characters.
A different read and a very enjoyable one.
Faith Martin was born in Oxford, and has spent all her life within twenty miles of the university city, even working at Somerville College for five years before turning to writing full-time. The author of the popular DI Hillary Greene novels, she also writes more classic-style 'whodunits' under the pen name Joyce Cato, but began her writing career as Maxine Barry, winning an award for penning romance novels! A popular writer for over 25 years, she has had nearly 50 novels published so far. Her hobbies include walking her now ageing dog, wildlife-watching, reading and (reluctantly) gardening.
