The Strange Countess

A novel full of intriguing characters who you can never fully trust, if you loved Netflix’s ‘You’ you’ll love this.

This shadowy mystery novel follows Lois an unassuming young girl who has just been hired as the secretary for a wealthy countess. As the days progress she begins to notice a man everywhere she goes, following her, relentlessly. Soon she becomes wrapped in a web of secrets, betrayal and deceit that might cost her life.

It is a carefully crafted plot that tears ahead with blinding pace never letting you catch your breath. Its fact paced structure make the book perfect for someone on the go looking for a mighty injection of classic mystery in to their lives.

Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer, poet and journalist. He was such a prolific writer that his publisher claimed his work could account for a quarter of all books sold in England. He wrote countless books, screenplays, poems and historical non-fiction, spawning over one hundred and sixty films based on his work. He unfortunately passed away suddenly before he could see his most famous creation ‘King Kong’ come to life. It has been adapted several times over the years, notably by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame, and more recently in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ starring Millie Bobby Brown.
