The bridesmaid

Psychologically quite dark, with a fascinatingly well realized geography of flats and yards which really makes the setting come to life. But for me, Rendell really works best when there's active “incidents,” and in that respect this work doesn't really add up to much. When ya come down to it Phillip and Senta are just shouting at each other in dark rooms about things which may or may not have happened. Not my favorite, but still worth a read.
