520 _a"Suspense" by Isabel Ostrander is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to Betty Shaw, a young woman with a distinct scar on her face who seeks employment as a companion to a wealthy woman, Mrs. Atterbury. As Betty navigates her new environment, she is drawn into a web of mystery and intrigue that hints at darker undertones beneath the surface of her seemingly simple quest for a stable life. The opening of the book reveals Betty's vulnerability and determination as she responds to an advertisement for companionship, bringing her to the opulent yet eerie home of Mrs. Atterbury, who is shrouded in secrets. Upon arriving, Betty senses an atmosphere of tension and danger. The narrative foreshadows potential conflict as Betty becomes aware that she is being surveilled, suggesting that her innocence may put her at risk. The introduction of other characters, including mysterious visitors and the shadow of a recent murder, establishes a tone of suspense that compels the reader to ponder the true nature of the relationships within this household and the secrets that linger within its walls.
