When Hannah is raped during the course of a burglary, no one could have predicted her model family would disintegrate. Then the rapist is released from prison after a ridiculously short sentence and Hannah's father plans a shocking revenge--one that will lead him down the back alleys of his own psyche and strip away all his controls.
Margaret Yorke shows us that every human heart has its grey area and finds the literary spark in even lacklustre personalities. She is truly a master of the cozy English mystery, but lets in the cold sensible air of modern life to an amazing degree. You'll find you don't want to put her little paperbacks down until she is finished with you.
Nasty crime

Rape is such an ugly topic to talk about but this author, Margaret Yorke did such a wonderful job of exposing some of the unfortunate side effects from such an injury. After I read the book Paradise Wild by Johanna Lindsey, I read this book. Each speaks about a character who is raped. Please read my review on Paradise Wild. This book treats rape the right way.
