No Orchids for Miss Blandish by James Hadley Chase
5.0
For nearly half the length of the book, there is no hero.
There is just a damsel in distress and oh is her distress increasing or what!
Slim, the antagonist, the captive of Miss Blandish is a man to be feared
By the time Fenner is introduced, we are begging for a hero in this vile world that the author has created. But the first thought comes to our mind is, what can Fenner do, he's just a man whereas Slim is the demon.
It is the classical scenario of a hero saving the Damsel in Distress from the demon. But is saving enough? We can feel the trauma of Miss Blandish throughout the second half of the book
Personally, I could feel pain in the words. I could feel that the pain we feel in our mundane life is nothing compared to the pain of Miss Blandish near the end.
It is a must read for anyone who loves thrillers
