Description
âYou must read Bedeliaâ, the seductive black-widow thriller by the author of the classic film noir, Laura (The New York Times).
Charlie Horst has returned with his new bride, Bedelia, to his family home in Connecticut. Indulgently infatuated, Charlie is the luckiest man alive. Whatâs not to love about Bedelia? Sheâs gorgeous and complacent. Sheâs also a gracious and ideal party hostâluscious and decorative in blue velvet. And in public, she plays the part of worshipful wife to perfection. In private, even more so. Who can blame Charlie for overlooking her little deceptions? Or for not paying any mind to her contradictory claims about her past? When Charlie falls ill due to a freak poisoning, Charlie knows that Bedelia will be right his side, watching him closely. But whoâs watching Bedelia?
âVera Caspary wrote thrillersâbut not like any other author of her time, male or female. Her specialty was a specific type that she pioneeredâthe psycho thrillerâ (Huffington Post) and this âsinister entertainmentâ (The New Yorker), is Caspary at âher most chillingâ (SistersinCrime.com). Filmed in 1946, and starring Margaret Lockwood, itâs âa tour de force of psychological suspense . . . Desperate Housewives meets Double Indemnity in Bedeliaâ (Liahna Armstrong, President Emeritus, Popular Culture Association).
