Review
"Wonderful at exploring the dark corners of the human mind, and the way private fantasies can clash and explode into terrifying violence" (Daily Mail)
"Once her characters start twisting on every-tightening tracks, their fates are brilliantly sealed, and it’s never obvouis who’ll be the victim or the culprit. Rendell’s greatest trick is making an unforeseen outcome feel predestined" (Financial Times)
"There are quite a few Ruth Rendells: the doyenne of the traditional English detective novel; the queen of the psychological thriller; the celebrated author of the literary thriller" (Mail on Sunday)
"Ruth Rendell is certainly one of the foremost of our writers of crime fiction... She’s using the detective story to say things she thinks are important" (P D James)
"Probably the greatest living crime writer in the world" (Ian Rankin)
Book Description
An unbeatable omnibus from the world's best crime writer, containing a spellbinding assortment of psychological thrillers, murder mysteries and nail-biting crime fiction.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. Good first edition first printing thus (collection) in very good plus price unclipped dust jacket (12.95). I am a little conflicted on the condition. Binding feels solid, but the stitching is visible at the front hinge. Quick flip thru of pages revealed no writing in body of book. Jacket is nice with very minimal shelfwear. Will ship (and look great) in an archival quality clear Brodart cover. We use quality packaging materials (including boxes!) for shipping.
