Sylvia Dalton is one of the most entertaining monsters I've encountered in quite a while. The vituperation she heaps on her family members is horrifying and funny at the same time. What a harpy! Then she shifts into a different gear for the book's second half, which is reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith's work. And the whole thing winds up with a hell of a twist!
