Hell Cat
Idabel Williams
——-
Critique of Williams’ novel, from the April 29, 1934, issue of The Pittsburgh Press:
Wherever “Scoots” Frazier went, trouble, torture and scandal seemed to follow. From Springvale, a Missouri valley hamlet where her father was mayor, “Scoots” left a trail of wrecked marriages and disillusioned husbands and wives.
From high school days until the climax of her madcap career, “Scoots” dominated men, stole them from their mistresses, sweethearts and wives, but she could hold none of them for long because of her violent temper, unscrupulous methods and near-fiendishness.
And, strange as it may seem, this wanton, who was loved by many men, never fell in love herself. She could run the gamut of human emotions and come away from her escapades bearing their scars, but pre-natal marks had doomed her to immunity from Cupid’s darts.
