About this product
Product Information
INCLUDES AN EXCERPT OF RENDELL'S FINAL NOVEL, DARK CORNERS From crime legend Ruth Rendell, a psychologically intriguing novel about an old murder that sends shockwaves across a group of astonishingly carnal and appetiteful elderly friends: "Refined, probing, and intelligent...never less than a pleasure" ( USA TODAY ). In the waning months of the second World War, a group of children discover a tunnel in their neighborhood outside London. For that summer of 1944, the subterranean space becomes their "secret garden," where the friends play games, tell their fortunes, and perform for each other. Six decades later, construction workers make a grisly discovery beneath a house on the same land: a tin box containing two skeletal hands, one male and one female. As the hands make national news, the friends come together once again, to recall their long ago days for a detective. Then the police investigation sputters, and the threads holding their friendship together begin to unravel. Is the truth buried amid the tangled relationships of these aging men and women and their memories? Will it emerge before it's too late? Stephen King says, "no one surpasses Ruth Rendell when it comes to stories of obsession, instability, and malignant coincidence." In The Girl Next Door --"yet another gem" ( The Washington Post )--Rendell brilliantly shows that the choices people make, and the emotions behind them, remain as potent in late life as they were in youth. "Rendell's wit, always mordant, has never been sharper than when she skewers patronizing assumptions about the elderly" ( Chicago Tribune ).

Reviews
This book is extraordinarily courageous, a demonstration that fiction can take us where reportage dares not go., [Rendell] is one of the most literate living writers of fiction…Her witty style and her endless trove of subtle references to fellow writers (living and dead) are matched by a timeliness that always takes on contemporary social issues along with the invented mystery that propels her plot into action. Part of the miracle is that with more than 60 books to her credit over a half-century career, Ms. Rendell never descends into mere formula. The Girl Next Door is no exception., A must read... not your typical crime story, but it is a typical Rendell book -- cunningly observed, elegantly written., "Only recently has it been common for novelists to work into their late 70s and beyond - not merely producing new work but writing at a very high level. A case in point is Ruth Rendell, whose new novel, The Girl Next Door , just appeared. Rendell is 84...Like her contemporary P.D. James, she is one of the finest writers of her time... her wit, always mordant, has never been sharper than when she skewers patronizing assumptions about the 'elderly.'" , A must read… not your typical crime story, but it is a typical Rendell book - cunningly observed, elegantly written., [Rendell] has always been at her heart-stopping best when she pushes the reader out of the comfort zone with her stand-alone psychological thrillers... The Girl Next Door is vintage Rendell and a perfect celebration of her half-century...This novel reminded me of the singularity of Ruth Rendell's talent, her effortless mastery of language and her uncanny genius for mapping a criminal mind., [Rendell] is one of the most literate living writers of fiction...Her witty style and her endless trove of subtle references to fellow writers (living and dead) are matched by a timeliness that always takes on contemporary social issues along with the invented mystery that propels her plot into action.

Fans of psychological suspense, along with Rendell's loyal following, will love this complex story., Using her customary spare yet decorous style and measured pace, Rendell, now in her 80s, beautifully and carefully individualizes each member of her ensemble cast, at the same time creating not a grim reminder of mortality but a picture of moribund lives renewed. A special book by a special writer., A must read... not your typical crime story, but it is a typical Rendell book - cunningly observed, elegantly written., Only recently has it been common for novelists to work into their late 70s and beyond -- not merely producing new work but writing at a very high level. A case in point is Ruth Rendell, whose new novel, The Girl Next Door , just appeared. Rendell is 84...Like her contemporary P.D.

James, she is one of the finest writers of her time… her wit, always mordant, has never been sharper than when she skewers patronizing assumptions about the 'elderly.', Ruth Rendell's fiction clusters at such a high level that the best judgment I can render about The Girl Next Door is this: It's a good Rendell, and that makes it very good indeed.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
