This book was bought from a charity shop. It is a paperback in very good condition.

From the cover:- "Barbara needs a story. A struggling journalist, she tricks her way into the home of former soap star Margaret Reynolds. Desperate for a scoop on the actress and her return to stardom, she finds instead a terrified woman living alone in a creepy manor house....."

REVIEW:- This book is only 124 pages long and I read it in one afternoon. I really enjoyed the story with its twists and turns and found it unusual and well-written. I love Linda La Plante's scripts on tv so was not surprised.

This book was given to my friend Snoopy56 when we met for coffee this week.

Picked up from the book buffet.

A departure from the usual murders. Interesting enough and well developed in a short story that it kept you moving along wanting to read more. You could say that the journalist Barbara, instead of getting her own way and exploiting a reclusive actress, got her come uppance.

Sending in the bookring "Books with the number 1 to 10 in the title".

Quite a spooky story that kept me hooked. I read it in one evening.

This book was picked up from the Sitting Bull on Otterspool Prom in May.
I enjoyed the book and thought I'd sussed it, but the adoption was strange.
I've not encountered this scheme before and was pleased to find the book.
