Bedelia - Paperback
by Vera Caspary (Author)
A novel of breathtaking suspense and a brilliant psychological portrait.
Charlie Horst has returned with his new bride Bedelia to his family home in Connecticut. Indulgently infatuated, Charlie is the luckiest man alive. What's not to love about Bedelia? She's gorgeous and complacent. She's also a gracious and ideal party host--luscious and decorative in blue velvet. And in public, she plays the part of worshipful wife to perfection. In private, even more so.
Who can blame Charlie for overlooking her little deceptions? Or for not paying any mind to her contradictory claims about her past? When Charlie falls ill due to a freak poisoning, Charlie knows that Bedelia will be right his side, watching him closely. But who's watching Bedelia?
