Description

A chilling puzzle wrapped in elegance and danger, The End Of Her Honeymoon draws you into a web of doubt that tightens with every observation and whispered rumour. A mystery that becomes a mirror, revealing how obsession and guilt can unthread a seemingly serene life. In this classic mystery and psychological thriller, Marie Belloc Lowndes crafts a taut tale of domestic deception set against Edwardian England. The London setting hums with shopfronts, parlour rooms, and the slow mechanisms of social propriety, as suspicion mounts and motive reveals itself with a calculating precision. The narrative texture-shrewd in its psychology, precise in its period prose-offers both a gripping murder mystery and a study of character under pressure. It's a cornerstone for vintage mystery readers and crime fiction enthusiasts who relish a keenly observed, character-driven puzzle. A note on literary and historical significance: this work helped shape early 20th-century British crime fiction, bridging traditional detection with a deeper psychological focus that would influence later classics. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, Alpha Editions revitalises a landmark tale with care and reverence. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. An enduring doorway into golden age crime novels and Edwardian London.
