The Blank Wall
by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding

In this psychological thriller, a suburban matron dealing with domestic problems (her husband is overseas in wartime) finds herself implicated in the murder of her young daughter’s love interest. The Daily Telegraph says that "the mix of the everyday and the extraordinary is deft... A most welcome return to print." Raymond Chandler was a fan, Holding has been compared to the incomparable Patricia Highsmith, and the novel was filmed as “The Reckless Moment” in 1949 and as “The Deep End” in 2001. A complex, tense, page-turner, this is a must-read for mystery fans.
