This is an older book from the 1960s, a sort of mystery/thriller book. I am not considering it a classic but still a fun read. It is one of those older pocket paperbacks and I had a bookmark that I kept skipping over because it was small and I have been on a run of hardback books or larger sized paperbacks. I needed a smaller book and this is one that I had. I had gotten it as the 2nd book from PBS--when someone posted a book to me I always checkout their bookshelf to get another book if possible and this was it a few months or maybe a year ago. For some reason I thought this was in England but instead it is in California--I am guessing the turret seemed more English to me maybe. A well to do family where the son's 2nd wife is beaten up and in a coma in the hospital. A sort of who done it--the very young 19 year old daughter, married even younger & had a child, her now ex-husband is being figured for this assault but is being hidden by a niece in the turret room. Ends up the young 19 year old daughter is crazy & did it and the maid was trying to help her cover it up. A sort of crazy story but turned out to be a fun read anyway.
I have posted it on PBS, it is the only copy so who knows on these older books, it might move at some point.
