Story
Everyone agreed Evelyn wouldn't hurt a fly, but they didn't count on a mother's fierce love, nor the fury of a woman scorned. Written in the spirit of Patricia Highsmith, Evelyn Marsh begins with the provocative statement that "Evelyn's first murder was an accident." The rest of the book exists to explain the implication embedded in that first line. It's a why-done-it and how-done-it, instead of a who-done-it.
