Collected Short Stories Reviews

"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
