Best Mysteries of All Time: A Stranger in My Grave (The Best Mysteries of All Time)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Family and Social Psychology Novel...
Review: This Reader's Digest Reissue of M. Millar's "Stranger.." is long overdue. Most interestingly, the author is very similar to her late husband, the better known Ross MacDonald (Ken Millar) in exploring hidden family secrets, without the hard-boiled detective (usually Lew Archer) that made her husband famous. But Mrs. Millar is expert at depicting all social classes, including Mexian immigrants, and their family interests, and has a sly humor that keeps this book amusing thruout. Possibly the book drags a bit, but still a top drawer family history suspense novel!
