Review
"She can make a scene between two women sitting in a café as violent as anything you’ve seen between a couple of guys with baseball bats" (Mark Billingham)
"Wonderful at exploring the dark corners of the human mind, and the way private fantasies can clash and explode into terrifying violence" (Daily Mail)
"Ruth Rendell gets into the mind not only of the hero but into the mind of the villain" (Jeffery Deaver)
"Rendell’s eerier capacity to comprehend disturbed criminal minds continues to astonish" (The Times)
"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)
