Hapless Ivy Langer finally lands a job as governess a postition that appears heaven sent for the child loving but seemingly dull young woman But who is one of the stupidest characters you ll ever meet in any genre The plot was nonsensical The villainy was ridiculous And the hero was a douchebag not in a fun and or sexy way but just a garden variety creep whose picture would appear next to Sexist Shitstain in the encyclopedia He also does absolutely nothing of value to assist the heroine unless you count badgering a cop to drive past a roadblock in bad weather Stay classy Alan I read Fletcher once before enjoyed it but this was just dumb 2. Book the devil's dress pdf 5 rounded up for the cover which tho delightfully aesthetic is also totally wrong this is mostly set on a Colorado mountain not a tropical island And if I ever read the phrase dilly dress again it ll be too soon What s worse is that the author does nothing with this on a deeper level no criticism no The More You Know shooting stars not even a fail horn eyeroll toward the audience Clearly we re supposed to find Alan s retro misogyny amusing cute but it s not Fletcher s glossing is particularly odd considering the vast majority of gothic readers were female even mid 70s housewives or teenyboppers would ve been turned off by his continual steamrolling patronizing sleazy behavior He s only a couple steps above Archie Bunker imo 191 I was expecting this book to be scary but it wasn t and I was glad for that The summary on the back of the book was confusing because it didn t seem to match the actual story It says Muriel received a call for helpa cry of terror that never happened as far as I can recall and I read the book last night so my memory is still intact.
