Why read it?
1 author picked The Turquoise Mask as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It’s so tough to choose just one novel from Phyllis Whitney’s voluminous stack.
She is quite arguably the queen of the gothic suspense genre. With this pick published in 1974, I am highlighting my very first read by her.
Why do I love it? It rocked my world and, to this day, draws me right into its web.
With all her books, she depicts unique settings that allow for “armchair travel”. This one is set in what was a completely exotic location to my younger self, the American Southwest.
I also learned about the element of suspense from this novel…
From Mary's list on vintage gothic suspense by iconic authors.
