Recensione:

Praise for Ruth Rendell

"Those who haven't read Ruth Rendell have missed something unique and wonderful."
-- Tony Hillerman

"Much honored around the world, but less well known here, Ruth Rendell is a writer whose work should be read by anyone who either enjoys brilliant mystery -- or distinguished literature."
-- Scott Turow

"Ruth Rendell is, unequivocally, the most brilliant mystery novelist of our time. Her stories are a lesson in a human nature as capable of the most exotic love as it is of the cruelest murder. She does not avert her gaze and magnificently triumphs in a style that is uniquely hers and mesmerizing."
-- Patricia Cornwell

"Ruth Rendell terrorizes with the subtle authority of a cat burglar in the night."
-- San Francisco Chronicle

L'autore:

RUTH RENDELL has won three Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America and one Diamond Dagger, three Gold Daggers, and one Silver Dagger from the Crime Writers Association of England. She lives in London.
