A Sight for Sore Eyes

A standalone novel published by Hutchinson in


Perfect beauty takes many blinding guises in A Sight for Sore Eyes, a suspense novel that is itself a flawless piece of craftsmanship. But to the tormented characters who obsessively pursue their objects of desire—including a redheaded woman, a mint-condition Edsel and the reflection of the beholder’s own face in the mirror—the worship of beauty leads directly to murder and madness.

Francine Hill, who has been traumatized by the murder of her mother, grows into a beautiful young woman but must endure the over-protectiveness of an increasingly obsessive stepmother.
