Items related to Dark Corners
A brilliantly dark and sinister novel of psychological suspense by Ruth Rendell, "unequivocally the most brilliant crime-writer of our time" (Patricia Cornwell).
When Carl sells a box of slimming pills to his close friend Stacey, inadvertently causing her death, he sets in train a sequence of catastrophic events which begin with subterfuge, extend to lies, and culminate in murder.
In Rendell's dark and atmospheric tale of psychological suspense, we encounter mistaken identity, kidnap, blackmail, and a cast of characters who are so real that we come to know them better than we know ourselves.
Infused with her distinctive blend of wry humour, acute observation and deep humanity, this is Rendell at her most memorable and best.

About the Author:
RUTH RENDELL wrote her first novel From Doon with Death in 1964, which introduced her enduring and popular detective, Inspector Reginald Wexford. Since then, she has gone on to write sixty bestselling novels, including police procedurals, some of which have been successfully adapted for TV, standalone psychological mysteries, and a third strand of crime novels under the pseudonym Barbara Vine. Her awards include the Gold, Silver and Cartier Diamond Dagger Awards from the Crime Writers Association, three Edgars from the Mystery Writers of America, an Arts Council National Book Award, and the Sunday Times Literary Award. A regular Sunday Times bestseller, she recently celebrated fifty years of writing Inspector Wexford novels.
Review:
"Superbly written." —Winnipeg Free Press
PRAISE FOR RUTH RENDELL:
· "It's an image that's hard to forget: the severed but still clasped hands of two adulterous lovers, buried for years in a cookie tin. That's Ruth Rendell for you, offering a vision that's grim, grotesque and yet strangely beautiful." --The New York Times Book Review on The Girl Next Door
· "Rendell has written a comic and alarming novel that makes an almost perfect little book." --Toronto Star on The Saint Zita Society
