Dark Corners

Blackmail, kidnaping, diet pills, and murder all at a block of flats in London! I love Ruth Rendell so much, and this (one of her last works) just might be my new favorite. Psychological crime fiction pared down to the bare essentials.

Anxiety-inducing. At first I was rooting for Carl but by the end I just thought he was awful. That's not a criticism of the book, I enjoyed turning against him. I also hated Dermot and Sybil, but somehow I really liked Lizzie and her petty schemes.
