by Elbur Ford ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A
A novel of suspense in which the pace and pitch are feverish tells of Connie Kent, who adores her mother who is mentally unstable, and hates her governess who is to marry her father at her mother's death. The years pass- but do not assuage her hatred and it is only in the killing of her small stepbrother, whom she loves, that she achieves her revenge... Period proprieties do not subdue the tenor- which is overwrought, but susceptible.
