Description:
It`s the early years of the 20th-century, and troubled young Midwestern girl Catherine Land has learned to fend for herself using a combination of craftiness, sex appeal, and a dim view on conventional morality. So when she sees an advertisement by a wealthy businessman looking for "a reliable wife" she sets off with the intention of marrying him--and then slowly poisoning him with arsenic. However, as their twisted marriage progresses, Catherine and her new husband find their relationship changing in strange and unexpected ways. Robert Goolrick`s dark debut novel takes its devilish premise and then spins it out into a satisfyingly complex emotional pattern.
