Echo of Evil Manuel Komroff 4.33 3 ratings1 review A murderess freed from prison wishes for a normal life, but evil follows her home. Columbia University Finding Aids > Rare Book & Manuscript Library > Manuel Komroff papers, 1897-1979 Manuel Komroff papers, 1897-1979 Table of Contents. Seller rating: This seller has earned a 5 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers. Written in almost childlike prose, and probably less compelling than some of his earlier books, this has unexpected depths, less obscurity, and its everyday, contemporary setting adds appeal. Used poor paperback Condition Poor Seller. Once Anna arrives, its shadow is cast over the Hallows, but had they been kinder, their misfortune would not have occurred. The theme of the power and effect of evil is competently handled. In despair, Anna commits suicide, and the Hallows leave town, to find a new home elsewhere. She finds them concerned only for themselves, and when she turns to the daughter, Laura, for sympathy, she is instrumental in causing the breakup of Laura's engagement - and the spread of the story all over town.
