An Afternoon Walk..... Ella makes up a story about the house for her daughter, Kitty, as they pick flowers, but the peaceful scene is shattered by a scream, and the immediate appearance of an owl, which explains the scream...or does it? At home, enter the husband, seemingly devoted to his family, but single-minded in his ambition to rise in his job, and unable to share his wife's grief at the loss of her baby, or to understand her nature. A phone call sets in motion a campaign of vague threats, surveillance and, finally, terror towards the fragile Ella. All amidst her husband's determination to prove her scatty, unreliable, and prone to memory loss. Even her cleaning lady seems to believe she is fanciful and absent-minded, while her the next-door neighbor provides some support and belief in her sanity. The heat-wave that's been consuming the area continues adds to the oppressive atmosphere, until the terror escalates and comes to a climax when Kitty goes missing.....

Ms. Eden Gets Your Attention From The First Line,
By
This review is from: An afternoon walk (Mass Market Paperback)
The late Dorothy Eden is amazing. I am only sorry I have just recently discovered this amazing lady. I am working on collecting all of her novels. "An Afternoon Walk" caught me immediately. I felt the frustration of the young wife who cannot convince her husband that things are not what they seem. As her frustration grew with events she could not explain, I found myself turning the pages faster and faster. I really found myself caring about whether she was losing it, or was there an undercurrent of human evil present. The conclusion was well worth my time. Dorothy Eden is a word master. Read and enjoy. I also suggest "Death Is a Red Rose." Wow! What a tale of mystery!

Nice read,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Afternoon Walk. (Hardcover)
Just finished this book and really enjoyed it -- not so much that it was a thriller or a page-turner, but I did feel that I was there with the other characters, and the storyline was good enough that it kept me interested in picking the book up again once I put it down. It's a quick and easy read, but also very memorable. A light read. Enjoy.

I LOVE this book, everytime I read it!!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Afternoon Walk. (Hardcover)
I was drawn in from the first page. You can see the old abandoned house, you can feel the heat, and you can sense the panic in the air. I have read this book over and over again, and I can still pick up this book and turn to any page and be instantly drawn in. It is a wonderful mystery and I could really feel the main character's confusion and terror. Although I can't recommend all of Dorothy Eden's books, I do recommend this one!
