Review:
"Peter Abrahams is my favorite American suspense novelist."
--STEPHEN KING From the Hardcover edition.
From the Author:
--STEPHEN KING From the Hardcover edition.
I loved Sherlock Holmes when I was a kid, just as the character Ruby does, and in some ways The Tutor is a Holmesian story. I don’t know whether the intense competition in the U.S. to get into elite colleges and universities has a parallel in Britain. The SAT test, the central instigating factor in this story, purports to measure scholastic aptitude, and is taken by almost all college-bound students. I haven’t exaggerated the tension it induces in middle-class American families in the slightest. The demand for SAT tutors, some private, some working for big tutoring companies, get stronger all the time. Why wouldn’t some of these tutors develop a hidden disdain for their clientele? Julian just goes a little further.
