All the elements that made Carol Upchurch's previous books so successful are present in The Asking Price, and the reader is thoroughly engrossed within the first few pages. Many reviewers lined up to praise such earlier novels by Upchurch as Grace and Favour and Falling for Mr Wrong, singling out her sharp and perceptive character analysis and highly surprising plots. Her secret is to combine the elements of passion and betrayal with plotting of real invention: here, her protagonist Hope is struggling to keep three difficult children in check (not to mention her disorganised husband) while she holds down a prestigious real estate job on Long Island. When things start to collapse around her, she calls England and asks her sister-in-law if she can supply a reliable childminder; what she gets is Annabel, a troubled girl who has come to America to escape her own past, and Hope's problems are soon bigger than before. As a thoroughly involving tale of two very different women coping with each other's lives and the problems of relationships, Upchurch absolutely defines the term page-turner with this new novel. --Barry Forshaw
