Publisher Description

The latest victim in a series of apparently motiveless murders is found near Inez Ferry's antique shop in Marylebone. Someone saw a shadowy figure running away, but the only other clues are that the murderer usually strangles his victim and removes something personal, like a cigarette lighter or a necklace.... The activities of the sinister 'Rottweiler' will exert a profound influence on the lives of a small group of people, especially when the suspicion emerges that one of them may be a homicidal maniac.

"een ouderwetse goed geschreven thriller. Ik heb er een tijdje over gedaan, met alle feesten hier in huis, maar uiteindelijk toch nog uitgeraakt. Niet slecht."

    " More like her Vine work to me. A great holiday read (although holidays over). Quirky range of characters. "

    " Like most Rendell, compulsively readable and not a little distressing. "

    " I picked up this book because I wanted to read a good mystery. Unfortunately, I am still looking for one. Though the book wasn't terrible... I will stop right there. The book wasn't terrible. I probably shouldn't have expected much from a book called The Rottweiler. "

    " I had mixed feelings about this book. Parts are brilliant. I found the portrayal of one woman's descent in alcoholism particularly compelling. On the other hand anything to do with the actual crime seemed disappointing. The two cops investigating the killings were so inept they should have appeared on an episode of Murder She Wrote. "

    " Interesting novel. Suspenseful albeit the murderer is revealed soon at the beginning of the story. Not certain I enjoyed the ending, but the story kept me entertained and captivated. My second Rendell and I can't say I was disappointed. "

    " Tedious, boring and ultimately disappointing. Not her best. Oh and Will's so called "girlfriend" was just as special as him, if ya know what I mean! "

    " Slow book, with a lot of characters. At some parts I had difficulty determining who exactly was who! It did give some insight into the killers point of view which I thought was interesting, but that was all. Not super exciting. "

    " I was totally engrossed by the characters and *guessed* correctly who the killer was from the beginnng. Ultimately, the ending was a let-down and I am probably done with Rendell "psychological mysteries" for a while. "

    " Murder mysteries tend to not get high ratings from me just becuase they are not my type of book...but generally this is a good beach read "

    " Not Rendell's best work. It was mediocre, as her work goes--which still makes it much better than the work of most other mystery writers. I'd skip it unless you're already a die-hard Rendell fan. "

    " I'm currently reading and quite enjoying this murder mystery set in London. The author's writing style and the tone (and genre) of the book remind me a lot of P.D. James' books. "

    " I really like this one. Read it twice. So intense. You really don't know who is the killer even when you do know it! "
