The Angel oj Terror Chapter I
THE hush of the court, which had been broken
when the foreman of the jury returned their
verdict, was intensified as the Judge, with a
quick glance over his pince-nez at the tall
prison er, marshalled his papers 'wi th the precision
and method which old men display in
tense moments such as these. He gathered
them together, white paper and blue and buff
and stacked them in a neat heap on a tiny
ledge to the left of his desk. Then he took
his pen and wrote a few words on a printed
paper before him.
Another breathless pause and he groped
beneath the desk and brought out a small
square of black silk and carefully laid it over
his white wig. Then he spoke:
" J ames Meredith, you have been convicted
after a long and patient trial of the awful crime
of wilful murder. With the verdict of the jury
I am in complete agreement. There is little
doubt, after hearing the evidence of the unfortunate
lady to whom you were engaged, and

An oldie, but oh-so-goodie suspense thriller.
25. Juli 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Looks can be deceiving and are in this wonderful suspenseful murder mystery! A young woman whose beauty is comparable to the beauty of angels is such a manipulative, homicidal, psychotic narcissistic (sp) genius and murderer. She is absolutely cold blooded and cold hearted and creates friendships and relationships in order to realize her goals of prestige and wealth.
This book is VERY well written and absolutely timeless; I thought that it was written fairly recently then found that it was first published in 1922!!! I could hardly put it down. I ordered it for my Kindle and realized to share it I needed to purchase the paperback; my mother can hardly wait to read it---I'm sure my father will read it too when she finishes. We have a reading circle consisting of family in two states and we send books around all the time. My Kindle does not leave my side; I may read this book again, in the meantime family can read the paperback version.
Highly recommended to anyone who is a serious mystery fan.

Keeps you Intersted
14. Oktober 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I found this story very enjoyable to read. The plot keeps the reader turning pages to see what will happen next and of course, the author works the characters to make the reader angry at some, frustrated at others. It keeps you going. For a free book I would recommend it to anyone.

A likeable, cold blooded killer.
23. Februar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I really enjoyed the 'villaness' off this book, since she was a refreshing change to the usual butter-wouldn't-melt-in-their-mouth female characters typically featured in works of this period.
