A Pin to See the Peepshow | F. Tennyson Jesse

Based on the events of a sensational murder trial in the 1920s – the Thompson/Bywaters case – this work of fiction follows the life of Julia Almond as she pursues a successful career but enters into a stifling and unfulfilling marriage.

Bored, frustrated and prone to flights of fancy, she begins a passionate affair which has deadly consequences. Tennyson Jesse creates a flawed, doomed heroine in a novel of creeping unease that continues to haunt long after the last page is turned.
