The Wheel Spins by Ethel Lina White

5.0

A delightful little read. I can easily see why this book attracted Hitchcock’s attention. It’s as Hitchcockian a book as you can get! It brings to mind the plight of Cary Grant in “North by Northwest” also. The book doesn’t let the tension ease right till the very end. What’s true and what’s not? As a reader, you’re as confused as Iris and as frustrated and fearful. The book has plenty of humour as well, another ingredient ready made for Hitchcock. A fun read!
