The Skull Beneath the Skin
reviewed on + 62 more book reviews


Protecting a death-threatened actress, private detective Cordelia Gray finds that her own life is in grave danger. This is a masterly version of the clue-and-alibi game, combining the enclosed setting of the country-house murder with elements of the horror story, an overlay of lust and hairbreadth escapes.
