Condition remarks: Boards - good. Binding - tight. DJ - Torn with some loss on rear panel. Otherwise, internally sound.
A gripping work of psychological suspense, I Start Counting chronicles the story of Wynne Kinship, a young teenage girl deeply infatuated with her older foster brother, George, whose mysterious behavior begins to align unsettlingly with a series of local murders. Audrey Erskine Lindop masterfully constructs a narrative of obsessive loyalty and willful blindness, as Wynne refuses to believe the mounting evidence that points toward the person she idolizes most. The novel presents its tension through the intimate, unreliable perspective of adolescence, making the reader acutely aware of the dangerous gap between what Wynne sees and what she chooses to understand. Written with a sharp psychological acuity and a tone that balances innocence with dread, it stands as a compelling and underappreciated gem of mid-twentieth-century British crime fiction.
