Search - Fox's Earth

A Southern suspense novel about a woman and all the havoc she can cause. A great book.

Just didn't like this one much. I do love Siddons, but this just wasn't her best, IMHO.

Twisted ambition at its "best."

Very Siddons: The good and the not so good are clearly identified yet still a surprise at the end. I enjoyed reading it.

This was an evil good read.

This is an excellent book with a lead character you can't help but despise. Ruth Yancey Fox is pure evil!

Anne Rivers Siddons writes wonderful books for the beach. You can get lost in her stories.

The first time Ruth Yancy saw Fox's Earth--the magnificent Georgia estate of the wealthy and privileged Fox family--she was a child who had known only poverty and abuse...yet she knew in her heart it would someday be hers. Years later, as Ruth Yancey Fox, she would enter its gates, vowing not just to live there, but to rule. And in the decades to follow she would pursue her dream with a vengeance--dominating everyone and everything under her roof. For nothing and no one would ever take Fox's Earth from her--no matter how much scheming and subterfuge was required...or how many lives she had to cruelly destroy.

Siddons is always a good read!

Ruth Yancey was only a small child the first time she saw Fox's Earth, a magnificent three-storied Georgia house that was home to the privileged Fox family. The daughter of a mean, poor mill worker, Ruth vowed that someday she would not only live in such a house, but rule it as her own.

Years later, becoming Ruth Yancey Fox, she does. For decades she will dominate Fox's Earth and its inhabitants with evil manipulation, cruelty, and lies. Until eventually, even she realizes that her secrets will have to come out . . . .

*****

not as good as some of her others
