quiet little thriller

From the back cover: "Once Patience Merriman had been the toast of Oxford. But now the professor's aging widow is confined toa wheelchair, and she aims her bitterness at anyone within range. She ridicules her daughter Romola. She schemes to destroy the romance between the two young students boarding upstairs. And her latest ploy is promoting the scurrilous suggestion that her own daughter intends to do her in. Once the accusation is made, though, she wonders if she's made a mistake. This suggestion might be too good to pass up..." I enjoyed this mystery. Patience is certainly a horrible person, and the reader can't wait to see her get what's coming to her. But everyone else in the book was a little underdeveloped. The ending was very satisfactory, but in places the book went on a bit too long. Worth reading. CMB
