NOISBN . ex-rental library book Guild Libraries Hollywood with attendant markings rubber-stamped terms on ffep a bunch of check-out dates on rear fep shelfworn with a bit of fraying at spine ends; the jacket is still attractive despite a few deprecations including tape-staining from internal repairs to rear panel an orange label remnant covering the bottom 2 inches of the spine a small chunk torn out of the bottom corner of the rear flap and a surface-scrape to the front panel that's somewhat obscured by the jacket design. Suspense novel set mostly in Monterey California about a newly-married woman coping with the in-laws from hell. Even before her baby was born "Hilda had already realized there was something wrong in the senior Trentons' household. And she slowly grew to understand what it was first in amazement then in anger finally in terror as the Trenton family closed in on her on her marriage on her child!" Yikes. The author's previous novel "The Frightened Child" was filmed by 20th Century-Fox as THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL 1951; this one I guess was deemed a little too creepy for screen treatment. The "M-Y" printing code by the way translates to December 1949. . Harper & Brothers hardcover books
