The Vixen Amber Halloway by Carol LaHines Paperback Book

Description: The Vixen Amber Halloway by Carol LaHines Ophelia, a professor of Dante, is stricken when she discovers that her husband Andy has been cheating on her with a winsome colleague. What follows is Ophelia s figurative descent into hell as she obsessively tracks her subjects, performs surveillance in her beat-up Volvo, and moves into the property next door to Amber s, which has gone into foreclosure. She spies on the lovers, growing more and more estranged from reality. Andy s betrayal reawakens the earlier trauma of abandonment by her mother at the age of eight. When Andy and Amber become engaged, Ophelia snaps. The story is a jailhouse confessional, a dark comedy, an oeuvre of women s rage, a suspenseful revenge fantasy, and a moving portrait of one woman s psychological breakdown.

Review "Think suspense and thriller. LaHiness fascinating narrator, Ophelia, is decidedly pathological...shes also sympathetic, humorous, intelligent-a deeply damaged woman telling her tale to a prison psychiatrist in preparation for a hearing before a parole board, but its not a confession." --Baum on Books, NPR Podcast "Carol LaHines chilling novel chronicles a jilted womans descent into madness." -- Associated Press Review"A heart-wrenching account of one soon-to-be-ex-wifes psychological breakdown... a compulsive read." --Katrna Biele, reviewer for Medium.com Details ISBN164603466X Pages 208 Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781646034666 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-06-11 Audience General Author Carol LaHines Publisher Regal House Publishing LLC Imprint Regal House Publishing LLC Place of Publication Raleigh Country of Publication United States US Release Date 2024-06-11 ISBN-10 164603466X UK Release Date 2024-06-11 AU Release Date 2024-09-17 Illustrations Illustrations We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
