Kate, this book is good, but it is so realistic, it is scary - I was reading on the bus going home tonight and by the time I got off, it was dark and I had to walk down a little road near the woods to get to my car. I heard someone walking behind me and didn't think anything of it, then remembered reading that after the experience she had, the woman in the book said that now, she was not afraid of bad guy's, but of the average, seemingly normal co worker or neighbor....



Yvonne Carmichael is a geneticist, a scientist renowned in her field but one day, she makes the most irrational of decisions. While she is giving evidence to a Select Committee at the Houses of Parliament, she meets a man and has sex with him in the secluded Chapel in the Crypt. It’s the beginning of a reckless liaison, but there is more to her lover than is at first apparent – as Yvonne discovers when the affair spins out of control and leads inexorably to violence.
Apple Tree Yard is about a woman who makes one rash choice that ends up putting her on trial at the Old Bailey for the most serious of crimes. Like the highly acclaimed Whatever You Love, it is part literary investigation of personal morality, part psychological thriller.
