The summer residence of the Moreland family, Spindrift, evokes novels set in the English countryside, featuring mysterious houses, gloomy rooms, and a romantically charged atmosphere. The author skillfully employs these settings as a backdrop for a gripping detective story that explores the hypocrisy of American society dominated by financial relationships. Although the novel has a detective plot centered around a murder, it does not adhere to the conventions of a classic detective story with a formal investigative framework. The protagonist, Christy Moreland, plays the role of the detective, convinced that her father's death, officially ruled a suicide, was actually a crime. She does not rely on typical detective methods; instead, she trusts her intuition. As she searches for the murderer among a close circle of family and friends of the deceased, she finds herself in numerous conflict situations.

Grand Master Phyllis Whitney dishes out another classic novel of suspense set in a large Chicago department store. Linell Wynn's ex-boyfriend turns up in a display window--dead. Everyone is a suspect, but Linell discovers some of her co-workers are not who they say they are! How does it feel to be in a big department store after customers have hurried home and the lights have been darkened so that eeriness reigns over the vast reaches of the floors? To Linell Wynn, who writes sign copy for Cunninghams', such a scene has always seemed perfectly natural until the day that murder walks the floors at dusk. The matter-of-factness of the police as they question people whom she knows, works with every day, does nothing to dispel the feeling that they are only temporarily holding back the powers of darkness. Evil has struck once--and evil is hovering, waiting to strike again. Steeling herself, giving herself courage against it, she is still unprepared when she stumbles upon death for the second time. Things which have familiar everyday significance suddenly assume a strange unnaturalness and terror surrounds her. Before that terror can be vanquished, Linell, herself, stands face to face with death.

Spindrift by Phyllis A. Whitney. From the book jacket inside front cover: Inside the walls of a palatial Newport estate, a violent struggle was beginning. Christy Moreland had come back to Spindrift determined to uncover the truth behind the mansion's most tightly held secret: the reason for her father's death. It was a truth that, at times, Christy felt she was barely strong enough to face, for it meant openly confronting Spindrift's domineering mistress-her mother-in-law, Theodora Moreland. Yet it was a battle that Christy knew she could not escape, especially if she was to free her young son from the obsessive and destructive hold the Morelands had come to exert over him. As Christy searches out the mysteries that haunt Spindrift-and the people in it-she slowly unveils a tightly woven web of deceit that only murder can continue to conceal....
