‘Waiting for her, he was on edge with expectation. He had never planned a murder before … Only sheer necessity was making him do it now …’
Coincidence couldn’t explain the three accidental deaths. It had to be something more – something sinister? One old lady had fallen and broken her neck; the others had died in hit-and-run accidents. And now beautiful young Caroline Conroy, who has returned to her poisonous family after a mysterious tragedy abroad, must face the enemy: a smiling stranger who is calmly and ruthlessly planning her destruction.

Reviews
Joan Aiken's triumph with this genre is that she does it so much better than others
Contemporary Gothic, executed with fine melodramatic conviction
Three first rate thrillers in a row bring Joan Aiken very near the top of the tree. A superb essay in sheer terror
Terrifyingly enclosed spine-chiller
