I have a feeling when Belloc Lowndes died she was reincarnated as Shirley Jackson. This book is a very nuanced vintage thriller, it treads a very thin line of belief and disbelief. Belloc Lowndes just knows people and her characters are so deftly drawn. Her red herrings are faint mirages which catch the eye just enough, make you doubt just enough. Reminds me most of DuMaurier's Rebecca. Strong pick
