At 30, Helen Clarvoe is alone: Her only visitors are the staff at the hotel where she lives, and her only phone calls come from a stranger. Until that stranger, with a quiet, compelling voice, lures the aloof and financially secure Miss Clarvoe into a world of extortion, pornography, vengeance, madness, and murder. But who is the hunter and who is the victim?
A gothic chiller which still feels incredibly modern, Beast in View is a true classic of the crime fiction genre.

Overall, this was a fast-paced read, but definitely a product of the times, not just in the casual slurs department. Without giving anything away, the story starts with a setup like “Sorry Wrong Number,” but it’s a specific crank call from a mysterious person, not a mistake.
I figured out the twist by the end of the first page, but because I’m generally horrible at doing this accurately, I figure was being set up as a reader to expect Ending X when I’d really be getting Ending Y—a twist in a direction I wasn’t expecting.
Nope. Happened like I predicted.
A big subplot concerns a character who is revealed to be gay. The characters react like you’d expect, and the fate of this character is also as you’d expect. :-( Just be aware.
Definitely a product of the time

If you could sum up Beast in View in three words, what would they be?
This is a superb psychological study disguised as a novel of suspense and terror. Millar is a master of the unexpected twist and this clearly is one of her best books. In Millar, like Highsmith, crime is more interesting than detection and the ultimate focus is on a diseased society and the way it breeds fear.Superb psychological study
