"In just two novels (No One You Know was the first), Michelle Richmond has established herself as mistress of the kind of literary mystery which packs the punch of a fine thriller but with added insight and wisdom...Mesmerising and harrowing, this is not just a story about a missing child but about faith, the function of memory and the way life can completely turn around in an instant." Daily Mail "Heartbreaking and riveting...beautifully written" Closer "A gripping tale of a woman's search for her fiance's missing daughter" People Magazine "A breathtaking novel...magnetic." Elle France "What a wonderful novel! The lush prose kept me turning pages as surely as the compelling plot did. Suspenseful, richly imagined, and ultimately hopeful, The Year of Fog is a keeper. Michelle Richmond is a talent to watch." Joshilyn Jackson, author of GODS IN ALABAMA
