The femme fateles

A husband falls into a psychological spiral..

When Fletcher marries Elaine, his second wife nineteen years his junior, he can’t imagine a more passionate union. Then an illness destroys his confidence, and all he can picture is her next affair. He keeps a secret diary of his fantasized suspicions, making his impending suicide look like murder.

The writer takes an already intriguing “dog in the manger” plot (”If I can’t have her, no one will”), weaves in an eerie plan to frame for murder, and then proceeds to turn everything topsy-turvy. If you enjoy dark film noir mysteries, this is a tale you should find to be most enjoyable.

“So well plotted and well written. I love Vera Caspary. Apparently, Wilkie Collins was her biggest influence, and I see it in this: he loved bizarre disabilities.”
