By: Edgar WALLACE (1875 - 1932)
When this was written, literary traditions
still decreed beauty to be the outward sign of inner saintliness,
whereas evil characters tended to be “ugly as sin.” Jean Briggerland
defies these expectations by being every bit as angelically beautiful as
she is sociopathic. So lovely that all around her are blinded to her
guilt no matter how blatant her crimes, only Jack Glover, best friend
and lawyer of her most recent victim, is aware of her true nature. Can
he stop her crime spree and bring her to justice before she murders her
way to wealth and happiness? He really, really shouldn’t count on it.
Despite the book’s outrageously implausible plot, it nevertheless
manages to keep one in suspense from first page to last. Advisory:
Antiquated attitudes and occasional profanity will add unintentional
humor to the charms of the story for some listeners but might offend
others. (Summary by Lee Elliot)
