Thirteen Steps Down Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I enjoyed this book, to a certain extent. What I liked about it was the insight it gave me on a distured pyschopath's mind and the eerie tone that set up the right mood! What I didn't enjoy, though, was the slow pace that the events progressed at and at some point, I got really bored... But then again, Rendell got the hair on my head to stand up by the end! It isn't the best book I've read so far, but it isn't the worst either. Despite the great pyschological analysing done, and the good aspects that make this book a thriller, I wouldn't recommend it for Reading. "

" 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. "

" This was an interesting read. It really got into the minds of the characters. I can't go into detail, although it isn't really a mystery. The ending is very ironic. "

" I enjoy Ruth Rendell's Brittish crime novels, and this is one of my favorites. It is creepy and keeps you guessing. Another great vacation read. "

" Ms. Rendell had ticked all the boxes again. Creepy and atmospheric. She is so good at setting the stage. While her characters are not at all lovable, she lets you know how they got there. I don't think I would ever say no to another Rendell book. "

" Young man on his own in London is obsessed by a supermodel, and by the killer Christie. What could possibly go wrong? Another satisfying Rendell mystery. "

" Fun mystery book. Rendall is famous for her dark humor and her deft handling of the British murder mystery. A good read for anyone interested in this genre. "

" Rendell delivers another fine story. Much of the action takes place inside the characters heads where fantasies and superstitions prevail. Also emphasizes the multi-culturalism of modern London, a theme of many of her recent works. "

" Oh, Ruth Rendell, you are one of my favorite British mystery authors. You are so deliciously creepy. "

" Sorry, I'm abandoning this one. I think I've become spoiled by reading all these literary masterpieces. I can't get into this one. I've read 100 of about 300 pages. I may come back to it later. "

" What happens when someone's on the edge of sanity, is obsessed with a serial killer who lived (and killed) in his neighborhood 50 years before, and a gorgeous supermodel whose path crosses his just enough that he thinks he has a chance with her?? Creepy but good. "

" all ruth rendell books are great. they are british mysteries which sometimes feature a particular detective, but most are phycological thrillers/mysteries. she is a prolific writer who has written tons of books and my goal is to read all of them. "

" Just finished listening on the commute back and forth to the Capitol. Good reading, but the story was not up to Rendell's best. "

" This is a most peculiar book and not at all what I expected from this author. The main character, Cellini, is obsessed with historic gruesome murders and the story depicts his ultimate journey into madness. I felt for Chawcer and her end, but in all not a nice read. "

" I really hated this book. It was creepy at first, but mostly it was incredibly dull. I could not wait for it to be over. I think I should stick to actual mysteries rather than psychological suspense. "

" I really like Ruth Rendell's work, but this was not one of her better books. Maybe because it was an e-book, the formatting was off, but there was a lot of head-hopping. The pace was much slower than I usually like. "

" Stand-alone mystery (not part of series). Very dark. "

" Nobody gets into the psychology of a murderer like Ruth Rendell. "

" Excellent thriller. When true love isn't...ghosts...serial murderers....what's not to like? "
