A husband falls into a psychological spiral in a novel by the author of Laura, “an expert at suspense and suspicion”
(The New York Times).
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...
With what Graham Greene once called her “devilish cunning,” Vera Caspary reveals, with sure psychological insight, the strange desires that hide in the hearts of seemingly respectable people. Out of a web of love, jealousy, guilt, and hate, she has woven one of her most suspenseful thrillers.
“Caspary writes emotive entertainments, part romance, part suspense, about women destined to kill or doomed to die.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A beautiful job.”
—The Boston Herald
