'Britain's equivalent to Patricia Highsmith, Celia Fremlin wrote psychological thrillers that changed the landscape of crime fiction for ever: her novels are domestic, subtle, penetrating - and quite horribly chilling.' Andrew Taylor The Long Shadow (1975), Celia Fremlin's ninth novel, tells a Christmas story with a difference. Imogen Barnicott's husband - a celebrated, cruel and egocentric professor of Classics - has recently died in a car accident. Now, to the pain of widowhood is added the attentions of an anonymous phone-caller who accuses Imogen of murder and alleges that he can prove it. But can Imogen be certain her husband is truly dead and gone? 'Genuine chiller... Splendid suspense in a brilliantly captured domestic setting.' Sunday Telegraph 'The story unfolds with brilliant ingenuity, always on the verge of explanation, ever plausibly plunging deeper.' Times Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

A recent widow suddenly receives a message saying that she was responsible for her husband’s death. And then things go from bad to worse. Mysterious events lead people to wonder whether husband Ivor is actually dead. Just when she’s longing for peace and quiet, Ivor’s odd lot family comes for Christmas visits and never leaves.
The suspense builds nicely and kept this reader turning pages. Author Fremlin is unjustly forgotten; her books are unexpected gems. ( )
