As a huge fan of these old Gothic mystery novels and a collector, I have several Dorothy Eden novels. Dorothy was one of the more recognizable names in this genre .
I like to work these books into my reading schedule from time to time. I was really jonesing to read one the other day. So, this one was the one I chose.
I noticed the reviews on this one were mixed. Some even tagged it as YA . I wouldn't go that far. A trademark of this genre is the lack of sexual content and no strong language. Howev...more

I read this book along with my mother when just a preteen. I tcaptured my attention then and years later now it had the same effect. I love suspense over mystery sometimes and this was a balance of both. Although I will say that now I'm older I felt the main characters passiveness was a little annoying but, at least it was a realistic role. 4 stars
I came upon this one after discovering Dorothy Eden's "Waiting for Willa." While "Walk" does not have the sense of intrigue, it again follows the pattern of the amateur sleuthe trying to figure out what the devil is going on. And also like "Willa," the climatic moment when the real antagonist steps into the light is a surprise.
Must have been a library book. Adult fiction, suspense.
Pretty clean. Not really that good a story. Well written.

3.5 for this tale of a husband who brainwashes his wife to hide his involvement in a murder.
It was ok, kind of repetative, but I wanted to see it through.
Wonderful mystery.
This was the first "grown-up book" I ever read. I remember sneaking it off my mom's bookshelf one summer and reading it. I loved the seemingly innocuous setting that only added to the sense of suspense. A nostalgic favorite!
