Description
In the Edgar Award-winning classic, a niece investigates the shocking secrets that condemned her once proud family
Faith
Severn has never understood why the willful matriarch of her
high-society family, aunt Vera Hillyard, snapped and murdered her own
beloved sister. But long after Vera is condemned to hang, a journalist's
startling discoveries allow Faith to perceive her family's story in a
new light.
Set in post-World War II Britain, A Dark-Adapted Eye is both a gripping mystery and a harrowing psychological portrait of a complex woman at the head of a troubled family.
