305 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with gilt lettering to spine over grey boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Smart, sophisticated Isobel Behringer was a third-generation New York woman. With her grandmother's wit and determination, and her mother's sense of style, she knew how to take care of herself. At least she thought she did. When she finally decided to marry her lover, psychiatrist Peter Arlen, she knew she would have to give up some of her cherished independence. She also realized that she would have to learn a few well-established rules about life in Pete's sprawling East Side apartment. The first commandment was "Thou shalt not trespass during office hours." Isobel tried to obey, but it was not easy for someone with her feisty spirit. Still, it all went smoothly enough for a while. But soon odd things began to happen. First, there was the strange disappearance of a pair of Isobel's pumps, then the disturbing defacement of her hand-painted umbrella. More alarming were the anonymous phone calls and menacing letters; even her cat, Welch, was being threatened. As the hate mail escalated. Isobel became increasingly suspicious of everyone around her. The mounting tensions take a toll on Isobel's marriage and ultimately lead to a violent encounter with a deranged stalker who is obviously obsessed with the idea of eliminating her from Pete's life. Too Close for Comfort is both a riveting story of psychological suspense and a novel of genuine emotional depth. Condition: A near fine copy in a fine jacket.…
