5.0 out of 5 stars A Haunting Read, June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beast in View (Mass Market Paperback)

More than a mystery this is a gothic chiller with a modern twist. Even more than 40 years after it was written, it still holds its spell. Helen Clarvoe is being stalked by a female psycho, who might or might-not be a childhood friend. Meanwhile Evelyn Merrick (or someone who claims to be her) is closing in on Helen, a wealthy heiress absconded in a hotel in L.A.

Who's the hunter? Who's the prey?

This horrifying story will grab you and won't let go till the gory, devastating and haunting conclusion... but do not peek! The narrative will take you there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prepare to be dazzled, January 27, 2000

Paige Turner (Mission Viejo, California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beast in View (Mass Market Paperback)

Margaret Millar writes like an angel. I am so glad to have discovered her and that the publishing world is "rediscovering" such a great talent. Her plotting and characterizations hold their own with the well known British writers. The denouement will not shock readers in the year 2000 as it did readers in 1962. Apart from that quibble, this is a perfect novel of suspense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hurrah for Mrs. Millar, December 20, 2001

X.L. (Noisy le sec, France) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beast in View (Mass Market Paperback)

Everybody knows (or I hope so) that Margaret Millar was the wife of Kenneth Millar (a.k. Ross Mc Donald). The husband is well-known, but the wife deserves reading, as evidenced by this book, one of her best. Mrs Millar, aside of incredible twist-endings, offers a deep psychological insight of amazing characters haunted by their past - a reccurent theme of her works. If you like it (how could you not?) hurry up reading such masterpieces like "How Like An Angel", "Rose's Last Summer" or "A Stranger in My Grave". Millar is one of the genre's best plotters.
