Thrillers & Suspense

Impetuous Robert and his beautiful sister Louise escape from the repressive, anti-Catholic society of eighteenth-century Ireland: Robert to America, where he joins the revolutionary forces, and Louise to France, where she is tricked into a prisonlike marriage

The head of the family is Roger Mallon, grand old man of Irish letters, who has not published a line in over forty years. Living with him in his big house in Dublin are his children and grandchildren, all under the sway of his authority. When he opens his secret diaries to a visiting American scholar, the jealousies and tensions festering in the household are laid bare.\nReveling how the sins of the father are visited on succeeding generations, Eilís Dillon skillfully portrays the sinister nature of her characters. The head of the family is a masterpiece of artful construction and ironic perception.

Rue Morgue

Poisoning of coarse and beastly entrepreneur from Dublin who is trying to debauch quiet Wicklow village. Seen through the eyes of nice little rat-poor middled-aged person who suddenly inherits a baronetcy. Most snug: well and intelligently written with copiously detailed background unmarred by any stage Irishry. Good surprise finish. Maurice Richardson in The Observer. First published in 1954.
