These do seem like the ultimate biddy books.<br /><br />Neer,<br /><br />thanks, I do think you would like this one. It's a creepy village! Agree about Lowndes and Gilbert as well.<br /><br />The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-51865738227054004232012-10-24T20:28:29.757-07:002012-10-24T20:28:29.757-07:00This seems like a real spine-tingler. The idea of ...This seems like a real spine-tingler. The idea of being transported to a different world altogether... chills. When I read Some Must Watch (which should be among the top mysteries ever written) the tension slowly built up to such a point where I simply wanted to scream; this one seems much like that. Thanks for the review.<br /><br />Some writers have been neglected for God knows what reason. White is one of them. Marie Belloc Lowndes, and Anthony Gilbert are two more who come to the mind.<br /> <br /><br />John- Looking forward to your post.neerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986509319841061021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-52029415867181537992012-10-22T06:46:04.068-07:002012-10-22T06:46:04.068-07:00Well done!

And you've given me an idea - I'm re-reading this one and I'm going to compare it to yet another of what I like to call the Badass Biddy novel, this one by Usula Curtiss -- <i>The Forbidden Garden</i>. I've been wanting to write about that book and it's movie version <i>Whatever Happened to Aunt Alice?</i> for a while now. I've been spurred on!

Guess I became too excited. <br /><br />White is such an under-rated writer and now I am really curious about those nasty female characters. :)neerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986509319841061021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-9879930459703025772012-10-19T07:36:07.328-07:002012-10-19T07:36:07.328-07:00Neer -

That's what Curt means by "follow-up" not to imply a sequel. It's a creepy, Gothic "old dark house" thriller -- the best she wrote of that type, I think -- with some very nasty female characters. I look forward to what he has to say about <i>The Third Eye.</i>J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-77568183015767253222012-10-19T07:04:28.425-07:002012-10-19T07:04:28.425-07:00I had no idea that there was a sequel to The Wheel...I had no idea that there was a sequel to The Wheel Spins.
