Synopsis:
Angel Street by Patrick Hamilton is a psychological thriller twist on the classic detective story. It is a version of the play more commonly known as Gaslight—and the origin of the term ‘gaslighting’. Mr. Manningham exerts a strange influence on the members of his household, especially his wife, Bella, who fears that she may be losing her mind. When a police sergeant arrives to reassure her that, in fact, it is her con artist husband’s manipulation that is causing her distress, the question becomes not ‘whodunnit’, but how can Bella get free from his machinations?
