La bambola che uccide di Ruth Rendell (shaunie)
shaunie: Minty's character in Adam and Eve and Pinch Me is similar to a character in the earlier book - The Killing Doll is better overall, creepy and haunting.

Minty Knox träumt davon, ihr eintöniges Leben in einer bescheidenen Gegend Londons endlich hinter sich zu lassen. Und sie träumt von einer Hochzeit mit dem attraktiven, lebenslustigen Jock Lewis. Dass daraus nichts wird, kann Minty nicht wissen. Genauso wenig wie sie von Jocks rechtmäßiger Ehefrau etwas weiß. Erst ein Brief, in dem man sie von Jocks Tod unterrichtet reißt Minty schließlich aus ihren Träumen. Doch von nun an sieht sie plötzlich Gespenster...

The novel actually makes you root for the psycho killer. It's quite well told. (

Per usual, Rendell does not disappoint–her insight into human psychology is always finely wrought. It was interesting to see the world through the eyes of a very disturbed young woman, who was obviously suffering from OCD. Captivating. (

A genial con man is involved with several women, one of whom is crazy. What could go wrong? A number of tangled web weavers’ lies intersect in curious ways. Rendell is magnificent at describing how people make bad decisions that make sense at the time, and the way emotions change as time passes. The tension towards the end of this one is deliciously unbearable. (

Absolutely adore Ruth Rendell and this one didn't disappoint! Oddball but believable characters like Minty and Jock - good stuff. (

Adam and Eve and Pinch Me could well have been a Barbara Vine for its lucid, downbeat exploration of the psyches of dysfunctional people. It is also exciting to see that, so late in her career, Rendell still wants to take chances - for she has given herself the challenge of telling a tale which is part ghost story and part crime novel.
