The Glass Mask (1944) by Lenore Glen Offord

It has been nearly 8 years since I last read a book by this author. Between 2016 and 2018 I read Offord’s The Nine Dark Hours (1941), Skeleton Key (1943), and My True Love Lies (1947), all of which I enjoyed. Of the three I would say The Nine Dark Hours is the best. Today’s read is a sequel to Offord’s 1943 novel, and The Saturday Review of Literature described it as an ‘admirable blend of mystery and family-history novel.’ They further added that it had ‘enough action, and much excellent character work, humor, and lively dialogue.’ They summed it up as ‘rewarding’.
