Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Michael "Mix" Cellini is a psychopath obsessed with a famous serial killer and with young model Nerissa Nash. He rents rooms in the disintegrating mansion of Gwendolen Chawcer, an octogenarian eccentric obsessed with a man she knew fifty years ago. All Rendell's perfectly drawn characters provide narrator Ric Jerrom with opportunities for black comedy, chilling descriptions, and insights into upper-crust snobbery. Jerrom's voices and attitudes take the listener directly into the characters' lives, into Chawcer's stuffy, shabby mansion, into Cellini's unrealistic hopes and dreams, and into Nerissa Nash's terror in the face of her stalker. Jerrom is a masterful storyteller, and Rendell provides enough genteel horror to scare your pants off.

Review
"Brilliant. . . . Wonderful. . . . Remarkable. . . . A triumph. . . . Its final denouement [is] a miracle of irony and compassion." --The Boston Globe
" Dazzling. . . . Cool, dark, intricately plotted. . . . At once creepy, incredibly funny, and oddly moving. Grade: A." --Entertainment Weekly
"Brilliant. . . . Chilling. . . . A profoundly unnerving psychological suspense novel . . . that demonstrates Rendell's cunning artistry. . . . We'll never forget our visit to St. Blaise House." --The New York Times Book Review
"Rendell, the mistress of foreboding . . . twists to a high pitch, so that you keep on turning the pages, alternately shuddering and smiling. . . . One of the top crime novels of the year." --The Rocky Mountain News
