Publisher Description

Few mystery writers can match Ruth Rendell's ability to get inside the dark, tangled psyches of everyday criminals. Rendell takes a single emotion-in this case a sister's all-consuming jealousy-and shows how even the most unsuspicious people are capable of the worst kind of horrors.

"Quintessential creepy Ruth Rendell. This is part of the Harper Short Novels series, which I didn't know about until now -- a haunting, eerie psychological thriller / ghost story. Halloween-time reading."

Overall Performance:
" Pretty strange book. Not on my recommend list. "
— Chris, 1/15/2013
Overall Performance:
" This book absolutely bored me. Although written as a ghost story/mystery, I didn't think there was anything "scary" about it. I pretty much realized with this book and another Rendell mystery, that she is not one of my favorite writers. "
— Naomi, 5/21/2012
Overall Performance:
" I have yet to read a poor Ruth Rendell mystery. in fact I have enjoyed reading them all. Not all at once but over the years. "
— Lili, 11/26/2011
Overall Performance:
" This is one of my favorite Ruth Rendell writings. It is more of a novella than a novel, but even after having it read it years ago, I can still be pulled back to this story and its surprising twist. "
— Deborah, 11/4/2011
Overall Performance:
" Possibly my favorite Rendell book so far. Deliciously creepy. "
