A very spooky story centering around the dogs at a French estate an Englishwoman is considering purchasing in the early 20th century and a murder that occurred centuries before. Wharton does a good job of building the suspense and then summing up the history of the estate as the denouement. A young woman marries an older wealthy man. All seems well at first. The husband then starts to terrorize his young wife. He murders various dogs that come into her life.
Edith Wharton is one of the world's prized novelists. Her books can be found HERE.
