āVera Caspary wrote thrillersābut not like any other author of her time, male or female. Her specialty was a specific type that she pioneeredāthe psycho thrillerā (Huffington Post) and this āsinister entertainmentā (The New Yorker), is Caspary at her most chilling. Adapted in 1946 into a film starring Margaret Lockwood,Ā Bedelia is āa tour de force of psychological suspenseĀ .Ā .Ā .Ā Desperate HousewivesĀ meetsĀ Double Indemnityā (Liahna Armstrong, President Emeritus, Popular Culture Association).
