pickThis was chock full of psychological suspense. I found the denouement a little disappointing but also realistic in a way. In the end, this had a lot to say about the effects of suspicion on one‘s psyche. I feel like one could read into the themes more but for me this was an entertaining, escapist, and well written story- just what I needed right now to take my mind of the stress of moving. I‘m going to watch the Hitchcock film later today.
Bookwomble I think I read the story in a collection of Jack the Ripper themed tales. The film I've definitely watched, and it's fantastic and atmospheric. Enjoy! 😊 1y
psalva @Bookwomble Thanks! I‘m looking forward to it. I‘m tempted to start reading all the books Hitchcock made into films and do side by side comparisons. 1y
Bookwomble @psalva That would be an interesting project! 😁 Off the top of my head, I know I've read Conrad's The Secret Agent, was an early Hitchcock adaptation as Sabotage, and also Vertigo, which was just as thrilling a read as the film is to watch. 1y
