New and uncollected tales of murder, mischief, magic and madness.
Ruth Rendell was an acknowledged master of psychological suspense:
these are ten (and a quarter) of her most chillingly compelling
short stories, collected here together for the first time. In these
tales, a businessman boasts about cheating on his wife, only to
find the tables turned. A beautiful country rectory reverberates to
the echo of a historical murder. A compulsive liar acts on impulse,
only to be lead inexorably to disaster. And a wealthy man finds
there is more to his wife's kidnapping than meets the eye.
Atmospheric, gripping and never predictable, this is Ruth Rendell
at her inimitable best. The stories are: Never Sleep in a Bed
Facing a Mirror; A Spot of Folly; The Price of Joy; The Irony of
Hate; Digby's Wives; The Haunting of Shawley Rectory; A Drop Too
Much; The Thief; The Long Corridor of Time; In the Time of his
Prosperity; and Trebuchet. Introduction from Sophie Hannah.
