Présentation de l'éditeur

"It grips like grim death." -- The Spectator. In this 1960 Edgar Award-winning thriller, a young housewife with two lively daughters and an endlessly crying baby battles domestic chaos as well as growing suspicions of the household's new lodger. Are her fears the product of sleep deprivation, as her unsympathetic husband suggests, or is there really something sinister about the respectable-seeming schoolmistress? "Highly intelligent entertainment, beautifully written with wit and humor." -- Frances Fyfield.
