Traffic was heavy on the wide dim street, but the pavements were almost empty. The lights were beginning to come on. In the country, she thought, the leaves would be gone and the tree branches would be black against the sky. --- BEDEVILED --- Surprisingly, this is the only mystery novel that Libbie Block ever wrote - a one-hit wonder, and it is a doozey. Right from the first page. Right from the first sentence: "I am Elizabeth, and I want to kill a woman named Coca Himbert.". . . . .Elizabeth tells most of the story herself, and it's like being inside a diseased mind, as she slowly becomes aware that her husband, a struggling young classical composer, is being stolen away from her by the maestro conductor's young wife (this is a recurring pattern) and murder becomes her only solution, an obsession she cannot remove from her mind. . . . . And when the woman is eventually murdered, Elizabeth confesses, even though she does not actually remember committing the crime. But the police have no other suspect. Did she do it, or can she find the person who did? It's a mystery like no other. . .
