Product Description

Product Description

Hanna Benson is a lucky woman, with her large house on a wooded hill overlooking Oxford, her rich and successful second husband, Malcolm, and their five children. Anyone would envy her. Any outsider.
But when Malcolm begins to lay down the law, Hanna’s ten-year-old daughter Tess decides to fight back. She wants her family together again: just her, her little sister, her mother and her real father, Gerard. There is no place in her world for Malcom and his three vicious sons. And it seems that Gerard is only too willing to offer Tess her paradise – he provides her with the perfect way to achieve her aims. Murder. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and disturbing - in the best way..., 11 May 2009
By G. Henry-Stogdon "Giles" (West Norwood) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Deathspell (Paperback)
I picked this book up after reading Veronica Stallwood's excellent Oxford Exit. It turned out to be her earliest crime novel. There is a powerful sense of small town malignancy that runs through this sinister psychological work. Reminiscent of Ruth Rendell but with better character development. A very good read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Deathspell, 8 Jan 2010
By Mrs. P. Clements "bibliophilly" (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Deathspell (Paperback)
This is the fourth Stallwood book I have read and it is very different to the others. A very strange story and exceptionally difficult to get through. I compared notes with others who have tried to read it and we all had to keep leaving it and going back to it. Some simply never got to the end but I persisted. I can't say I enjoyed it. One continually annoying factor, Oxford is a city not a town.
