Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and people who like stories about real, flawed people. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Shelve it next to Cape Fear.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1963: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Tracey Lawrence is assautled in her home and is so affected by the traumatic event she now finds all men totally repulsive, including her husband. Her attitude does not change with time, and to make matters worse her husband has got romantically involved with his secretary. Also, the police still have not tracked down Tracey's attacker and there is no guarantee that she is safe.
