description: When a middle-aged woman's corpse is found on a wooded embankment in an English seaside town, the murder suspects find themselves struggling to keep in place the polished veneers with which they have so carefully covered the rawness and decay of their lives. Veneers is a powerful yet understated account of the way some human beings, obsessed with a need to control others, seek to impose a life of captivity, misery and fear on those around them. This gem of a novel is a sensitive, acutely-observed contribution to the literature of dysfunction.
