Love Into Dread...

It had been years since lovely Lois Fleming had seen the man named Shandy Stowe, years since they had been thrown together in an affair as impossible as it ws unforgettable. -- But now the scene was different, terribly different, as they met face to face in a small Connecticut town that seethed with secret scandal, shame and guilt. It was as if Lois were looking at a stranger--a stranger with hatred in his eyes, bitterness in his mouth, and all the old power to draw her into a vortex of fearful danger and deadly violence...

It had been years since Lois Fleming and Shandy Stowe, had been thrown together in an unforgettable affair, but things were different now, and Lois was seeing a stranger with hatred in his eyes, yet all the old power to draw her into a vortex of danger. (From the book)

3 1/2 Stars. Dark Intent by Rae Foley was originally published in 1954. I got my copy from a used book sale which was a large print edition, published in 1996. The author's writing style was good... it flowed without the author's storyline being repetitious. My only problem was that there were quite a few characters to keep track of and I personally have problems with that sometimes. Overall, an enjoyable read.

(read in French: On n'est jamais parfait) Simply put: boring.
