MY REVIEW:

This book is by an old writer, it was published somewhere around 1982, so I would say its from another era!

Keeping this in mind, this mystery thriller may not seem very thrilling to most of the readers. But as I read for pure fun, I found this book interesting, uncomplicated.

The writing is simple, the story is fast paced. Not much of a mystery though, but at one point I did second guess who the culprit could be. Its like a puzzle falling into pieces but slowly.
The main character isn't naïve, but the hope of a better future dangling in front of her makes her look that way. 

However, she shows courage and at the end when it all unfolds, its uncanny and scary.
I enjoyed reading it.
