Read The Story of Ivy by Marie Belloc Lowndes. Stalking her wealthy husband through a calculated seduction, the ambitious Ivy Lexton deploys poison as methodically as she wields charm - until guilt and paranoia unravel her facade. This chilling 1927 psychological thriller exposes how society's obsession with appearances enables predatory behavior, while challenging assumptions that evil acts stem from passion rather than cold calculation.
