Recensione

"An intriguing mystery that is yet further proof of Rendell's amazing criminal mastery" (Evening Standard)

"If Wexford has sometimes seemed at the mercy of events, here we see his intelligence in full control ... Wexford has always been the most human of policemen, and the mental processes of investigation ... take him back to the beginnings, not only of his own career, but of his search for love..." (Jane Jakeman Independent)

"Fans argue about which are her best books - the long-running Wexford series or her dark, stand-alone novels. The Monster in the Box combines elements of both. Wexford is as strongly characterised as ever but the darkness of the narrative plunges into uncomfortable territory" (Daily Express)

"[Targo] is as good a villain as Wexford ever tried to pin down... hauntingly nasty" (Spectator)

"One of the best-written detective series in the genre's history... At any time we can return to Kingsmarkham to explore the darker side of humanity with Wexford as our reassuring and humane guide" (Washington Post)
