The Pursued | C. S. Forester

Marjorie comes home to find her sister dead, apparently by suicide. Marjorie‘s mother suspects something more sinister and is convinced she knows who the killer is. She slowly plots her revenge and (as the back of the book states) “who would suspect a neatly dressed, grey-haired widow of anything?”

I actually didn‘t know that this author (of The African Queen and the Hornblower series) wrote thrillers until I found this one.

wanderinglynn I didn‘t know (although I should‘ve) that The African Queen was a novel. I love the movie! Hepburn & Bogart give epic performances. 5y

The Pursued | C. S. Forester

pick

This is a pick but definitely my least favourite of the three Forester thrillers I read (the others being Plain Murder and Payment Deferred). It had a lot more sex in it than I was perhaps expecting. I was impressed though that periods were alluded to, in a book written in 1935, by a man. I'd say this is worth reading, because Forester writes well.
