Where Are the Children? (Where Are the Children, #1)

I came across this book when I was in high school. I borrowed it, read it and returned it the next day...
I was horrified, chilled and appalled at the way the main female character was treated, but equally amazed and thrilled at the ending which allowed her to twist the dirty deeds of her tormenter back on himself.
One of the reasons this subgenre became so popular was that until the 1970s (and the movie "The Burning Bed") very few people were willing to admit that a man could hurt his wife. In this book the audience - the readers - see that it is all too easy for a man to do so, especially when he appears to be suave and good and nice.
I recently read another Clark book and it had a different theme, but was based on a twisted phsyche as well.
The things that people do to each other...
