Join the Mystery Book Club for a discussio n of Marion by Leah Rowan.
\nNORMAN WAS HER FIRST...
\nMarion is in deep. She's stolen money from the Manhattan ad agency where she work s in a desperate bid to help her sister escape an abusive marriage\, but t he bus breaks down before she can make it to Saratoga Springs. It's late a t night\, and the only place with vacancies is an old set of cabins on the outskirts of town. She pays for a room in cash\, and ends up chatting wit h Norm\, the young innkeeper who's handsome\, charming and a touch hung-up on his elderly mother. Back in her room\, she steps into the shower\, scr ubbing off the late-summer heat\, when the curtain is pulled back...
\nNorm Billings is there with a knife. He raises his arm to strike\, but before he does\, Marion knees him in the balls\, grabs the knife\, and sta bs the life out of him. Now\, she's covered in blood\, and she's a woman o n the run―not just a thief\, but a killer\, too. Where will she go? How will she save both herself and her sister? And what mysteries will sh e uncover as she does?
\nIn Psycho\, Hitchcock shocked audiences whe n he killed off his protagonist. But what if the leading lady had fought b ack? Marion offers an alternate history of the most famous dead blonde to ever grace the silver screen. Only this time\, the knife is in her handsâ €•and she's no victim
