Om den här e-boken
“Follow days and nights of terror and anxiety” in this romantic thriller as a widowed doctor weds his dead wife’s nurse and accusations of murder begin (The New York Times).
The new Mrs. Rue Hatterick is living the dream. First, she was singled out by brilliant hospital chief of staff, Dr. Brule Hatterick, to care for his sick wife. Then, she and the doctor swiftly get married after the former missus dies. What young nurse would refuse a man she admires as much as Rue does Brule Hatterick? He’s a widowed father with a daughter in need of a mother and Rue gratefully steps into the role. As Mrs. Hatterick, Rue now has everything she didn’t before: wealth, privilege, security.
But the dream turns into a nightmare when rumors of murder swirl and the police open an investigation. Her husband appears to stand above accusation and leaves Rue to fend for herself when she falls under the guise of suspicion. When Brule’s young colleague and protégé suddenly makes a declaration of undying love to Rue and urges her to flee with him, Rue doesn’t know who to trust. When another nurse is murdered, a frightened Rue must make a choice that could very well find her in the arms of a murderer. . . .
“First rate whodunit.” —Kirkus Reviews

Om författaren
Mignon G. Eberhart (1899–1996) wrote dozens of mystery novels over nearly sixty years. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, she began writing in high school, swapping English essays with her fellow students in exchange for math homework. She attended Nebraska Wesleyan University, and in the 1920s began writing fiction in her spare time, publishing her first novel, The Patient in Room 18, in 1929. With the follow-up, While the Patient Slept (1931), she won a $5,000 Scotland Yard Prize, and by the end of the 1930s she was one of the most popular female mystery writers on the planet.
Before Agatha Christie ever published a Miss Marple novel, Eberhart wrote romantic crime fiction with female leads. Eight of her books, including While the Patient Slept and Hasty Wedding (1938), were adapted for film. Elected a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master in 1971, Eberhart continued publishing roughly a book a year until the 1980s. Her final novel, Three Days for Emeralds, was published in 1988.
