| Description | In this book there is the ex-millionaire Maynard family of Westchester and New York. Judith, the family beauty and recent divorcee, is the central figure of the story. Just back from Reno, and (against everyone's wish) ensconced at The Birches, the family home, Judith is in a state of terror. She refuses to go out into the daylight, shows a special fear of cab drivers and—to make everything even more mystifying—refuses to explain her strange behavior to anyone. Complications set in quickly as, in rapid succession, the body of an unidentified woman is found in the family pool, the gate lodger turns out to be a New York detective on the trail of a twenty-year-old murder, and Lois Maynard, Judith's younger sister, falls in love. A suicide attempt, a shot in the dark, and a second murder victim keeps things going at top speed. Here is that special blend of smooth villainy, real-life characterizations, and tense action which has kept Mary Roberts Rinehart queen of mystery writers.—jacket. |
