This is a tale of ruthless greed, exploitation and suffocating, skin-crawling
terror. Middle-aged Josh and Maisie Evans lead a seemingly unremarkable life.
When their elderly lodger Flo dies and leaves them her Estate, they head to
Italy on holiday, to take in the sea air and let the sun soak into their bones.
There they meet Mrs Fingal, a wealthy widow who lives unhappily with her
grown-up niece. When Josh and Maisie bond with her over ice-cream and daily
ambles, it's only natural that they arrange for her to move in with them once
home. It suits everyone. For fans of Shirley Jackson, Roald Dahl and Muriel
Spark, A Helping Hand is a sharp and nasty slice of darkness, and a reminder
that beneath the suburban respectability of cups of tea and genteel chitchat
another world lurks, and that the real horrors of this world can all too often
be found behind discreet net curtains.
