Publisher's Summary

Long before Desperate Housewives, there was Bedelia: pretty, ultra femme, and adoring as a kitten. A perfect housekeeper and lover, she wants nothing more than to please her insecure new husband, who can’t believe his luck. But is Bedelia too good to be true? A mysterious new neighbor turns out to be a detective on the trail of a kitten with claws of steel a picture-perfect wife with a string of dead husbands in her wake.
Caspary builds this tale to a peak of psychological suspense as her characters are trapped together by a blizzard. The true Bedelia, the woman who chose murder over a life on the street, reveals how she turns male fantasies of superiority into a deadly con.

The Perfect Wife or Femme Fatale?

Written by the author of "Laura," this is another perfect example of "that which you most desire will destroy you." The gist of it is the perfect wife may also be a serial killer. I liked especially, the depiction of what it meant to be perfect and wealthy, and how one must pay for that perfection in the popular mind of the 1940s. Moody, glamorous, and creepy, I enjoyed every minute of it!
