The paintings of her were also withheld, until she turned 21, and their release in 1975 caused...
...Adapted Eye belongs to the genre of old murders reconsidered. But the question of who did what to whom and why is teasingly left unresolved. Nonetheless, the reader is almost certain to become enmeshed in the story of domineering, possessive Vera Hillyard, her malicious older son, her seemingly illegitimate younger son, and the devoted sister who secretly seeks to escape Vera's grasp and instead provokes a murder...
