Wonderland of Evil
Young widow Holly Niven felt as if she were stepping into an enchanted wonderland when she accepted a post as companion to famous beauty Millicent Godent, a ravishing, mysteriously haunted society queen whom Holly was to guard against a threatened nervous breakdown. Millicent was married to handsome Max Godent, a powerful business tycoon, their Manhattan mansion was a showplace of jet-set society, and no expense was spared to satisfy her most extravagant whims -- all this was Holly's to share and enjoy.
Since the accidental death of her young husband the year before, Holly had felt no interest in any man. Now, suddenly, not one man but two filled her thoughts. One was Max, Millicent's husband, and Holly knew she should not let his teasing charm quicken her pulse, but Max was the most irresistible man she had ever known. The other was Christopher Thorn, the famous crusading reformer whose lack of interest in romance was legendary. Why, then, did he single out Holly for his attentions? Then Holly discovered that danger was part of the bargain, as breathless romance turned to screaming fear, and death was everywhere...

Twists and turns, red herrings and suspense, this book kept me engaged and I couldn't put it down.
