While Christina Lane is a good writer, I felt sometimes too disconnected from the events she described. Lane's prose is not quite academic, not too simple, just somewhat dry, with some passages coming across as forced to maintain the length of the book. Despite these shortcomings(my subjective opinion), I feel that i have learned about Joan Harrison and the fascinating life she led. I had never heard of her before I bought this biography. It seems she most often got a passing mention in Hitchcock's many biographies and within Documentaries if the filmmakers even managed to remember her name. That omission, I hope, has been rectified by this book and Television programs such as Noir Alley, hosted by the TCM channel.
