The award-winning author brings us another terrifically paced, richly drawn novel of suspense and psychological intrigue.
Ruth Barbara Rendell, Baroness Rendell of Babergh, CBE, who also writes under the pseudonym Barbara Vine, is an acclaimed English crime writer, known for her many psychological thrillers and murder mysteries. Siân Thomas is a Welsh actress who trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama. She has appeared on stage, on TV and in films such as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in which she played Amelia Bones. She was part of the cast of the musical Spring Awakening in London until May 2009 (when the show closed), playing the 'Adult Women'. In 2002 she appeared in London's West End theatre production Up for Grabs with Madonna. She has a particularly effective voice for reading modern poetry, which is often deployed on the BBC Radio 3 program Words and Music.
‘One of her most gleefully energetic efforts. And its powers of
description and characterization place it far beyond the limits of
a genre novel.’
*The New York Times*
'Rendell’s eerie capacity to comprehend disturbed criminal minds
continues to astonish.'
*The Times*
'Ruth Rendell is back to her creepy best. She has always been
wonderful at exploring the dark corners of the human mind, and the
way private fantasies can clash and explode into terrifying
violence.'
*The Daily Mail*
