Playing Happy Families Hardcover - 1995
by Julian Symons
The three-time Dagger Award-winning author of Something Like a Love Affair presents a brilliant tale of disquieting psychological suspense in which a mysterious disappearance causes a seemingly stable middle-class family to disintegrate.
From the rear cover
All of the Midways will remember this Saturday ... because Jenny Midway is about to vanish from the face of the earth. In a strange turn - almost as if magnetic poles have been reversed - the members of the Midway family will begin to repel each other, exchange personalities, and discover shocking strengths and weaknesses they never knew existed. Detective Superintendent Hilary Catchpole is called in to investigate the disappearance, which might very well not be a crime at all. Against daunting odds, he must unearth the truth about Jenny - before the rest of the family implodes, changing beyond recognition and becoming utterly without mercy ...
