LOL. Obviously supposed to give a ghostly aspect to the book? I do agree that she looks as if she's put her fingers in a socket!!

Look at what I found at the thrift store for a whopping $.50. Anyone heard of this before?
Lady, Beware!
Every Sunday afternoon James Fenton and his wife took their usual walk-every Sunday afternoon.The pattern never changed.
Then Fenton reached his breaking point.
The idea of escape had never occurred to him before. But suddenly something clicked in his brain.
"Now, at this minute, "he thought, "one gesture of mine might change someone's future. Theft, fire, faces smashed in . . . murder."
So Fenton chose No. 8 Boulting street as a starting point for the greatest adventure of his life.
He rang the bell and a young woman answered. Fenton had the impulse to say, "I have come to strangle you." Instead he took off his hat and smiled. "Do you rent rooms?" he asked.

I think it's a short story collection.

Thanks for that. I'm not all that fond of short stories so I suspect this will be a low priority.

A new collection has recently been published, too - The Doll. I did buy it as I like to have all her books on my shelves.
