Before the Stepford Wives, there was Bedelia, a picture perfect spouse who lives to please her wealthy if insecure new husband, Charlie Horst. But then a detective unsettles the picket-fence Connecticut town, looking for "a kitten with claws" who has left a trail of dead husbands behind her. Snowbound by a blizzard, the protagonists carry their doubt and treacheries to deadly conclusions.
Vera Caspary anticipates today's real-life female serial killers. If past trauma and poverty "enable" this murderer to justify her crimes, the fragile ego of her latest husband places him squarely in her sights.
