In this terrifying mystery classic, Edgar Award–winning novelist Celia Fremlin blends the desperation of 1960s domesticity with gripping suspense. But when Mary spies a man in a raincoat, lurking about the neighborhood, she develops a panicky obsession with the stranger that her friends can't soothe - and the frustrations of everyday life suddenly take a sinister turn. The women's only consolation lies in getting together to vent their frustrations and share the latest gossip. All of the housewives on the block complain about their domineering husbands, their noisy children, and their dreary chores.
