Shock Treatment is another classic late 50s pulp novel by James Hadley Chase, set in the time period and in small town America it follows the story of a TV repair man/TV builder who falls for a femme fatale and his attempts to implement a plan to run away with her. Unfortunately for him, not all is as it seems and his plans for the future go rather quickly awry resulting in law enforcement involvement beyond which he had planned for.

It's a quick but fun and entertaining story on par with the upper end of the quality range of the time period, much like the other Hadley Chase novels. Would recommend if you come across it. ( )
