The final book in Roger Fuller's series of Peyton Place paperback spin-offs chronicles the lurid Lansbury family: lonely, overlooked Lucy (the titular nice girl - I'm assuming), Jezebel Janet and disillusioned Dexter. The story unfolds as Allen McCampbell (previously featured in "Secrets of Peyton Place") seeks information on the family in his scheme to bed Janet & get a decent insurance policy from her brother-in-law, Mark. Like every Peyton Place resident, each member of the Lansbury family has a Deep, Dark Secret. Author Fuller mixes contempt for his audience with gleeful prurience.
