A Dangerous Woman
A novel of unnerving suspense and terrifying insight into the perversities of passion, A Dangerous Woman is as devastatingly honest as Martha herself. "One
of the best novels of the year." Chosen as one of the best books of the year by ALA Library Journal.

Martha
Horgan is not like other women. She stares. She has violent crushes
on people. She can't stop telling the truth. Martha craves love,
independence, and companionship, but her relentless honesty makes
her painfully vulnerable to those around her: Frances, her wealthy
aunt and begrudging guardian; Birdy, who befriends her, then cruelly
rejects her; and Colin Mackey, the seductive man who preys on her
desires. Confused and bitter, distyrusting even those with her best
interests at heart, Martha is propelled into a desperate attempt
to gain control over her own life.
