    About this ebook

    From the Edgar Award-winning author of They Buried a Man comes a novel of strangling horror!


    "As a thriller or serious novel, powerful and rewarding." -- Anthony Boucher, New York Times


    Mildred B. Davis is an American novelist whose books generally fall into the suspense/mystery genre. Katherine (Davis) Roome, her daughter, and a published author herself, helped Mildred break a 30-year publishing silence by working with her to turn some previously unpublished manuscripts into the Murder in Maine series.

      Mar 15, 2022

      Verity pushed back the quilts, rolled off her straw mattress onto the floor, felt for the poker, and stirred the ashes. The embers glowed. She wouldn’t have to go fire-borrowing again. Her chilled hands were clumsy. One glowing bit of wood rolled fro

      It was the second helping of chocolate mousse at lunch that had done it, Stuart decided, as he felt the two sides of his zip begin to part company. The sensation was decidedly unpleasant – a sad sliding down over which he had no control. What if he s

      I’ve been having very vivid dreams lately. A few nights ago, I was playing tennis at the Australian Open, but instead of Rebound Ace (as is the construction at Melbourne Park) the court was en tout cas and my forehand (notoriously ‘wild’ as my tennis
