Ghoulish and unputownable. I mean I say it all the time, but this one’s really killer. Possessiveness, furniture construction, and a cellar filling with cement and bodies! ( ) When Rendell is on her game, her books are irresistible. And this one is a dandy. She's channeling Poe, and showing Stephen King a thing or two. Separate story lines, each featuring a young person whose upbringing was deplorable---one a talented and extremely handsome young man who came up without love or attention, and has a sociopathic personality; the other a beautiful young woman who heard her mother's murder at age 7, and later suffered at the hands of an inept therapist and an over-protective, increasingly demented stepmother as creepy as any in fantasy literature. Tension builds in each story, as we wait for the lines to intersect (as we know they must). When they do, forget about putting the book down. January 2020 aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The lives of three people--Francine, a child who hears her mother's murder while hiding in her room; Harriet, an aging beauty who seeks out handymen to ease her boredom; and Teddy, a young man who had been ignored by his parents since birth--converge with harrowing results.
