Neidierman's first and BEST book, in my opinion. Adult sisters Rita and Harriet run their deceased parents store in the Catskills and live in apartments above. Excellent characters, with a dark Shirley Jackson vibe. Plain and practical Rita looks out for her pretty but simple sister, Harriet. Life is smoothly predictable until a drifter named Richard enters. Neiderman expertly winds the tension and gives just enough forshawdowing without giving the ending away. I LOVE this book. One of my top 10 favorites for sure.
