"Her absence is keenly felt. But we do have this mesmeric book . . . It’s a felicitous last hurrah for Rendell" (Barry Forshaw Independent, Books of the Year)
"It enjoyably and honourably concludes Rendell's six decades of exploring the death force that, as her last book demonstrates, may be triggered in unexpected people and places. - Mark Lawson" (Guardian, Books of the Year)
"Dark Corners is written in a deceptively simple manner, and at times it reads like a twisted fairytale. It leaves an uneasiness behind like a dark stain on the consciousness . . . The violence of Dark Corners is the violence that stems from the mundane and the ordinary, and it is all the more frightening because of that." (Independent)
"Everything that makes Rendell's work so memorable - gothic but believable people and plots, simple yet vivid prose, peerlessly rendered settings, and fear and despair as the twin ‘parents’ of violence - is in evidence here." (Publishers Weekly)
"Another of Rendell’s penetrating studies of ordinary people trapped in extraordinary circumstances . . . her countless admirers will seize on it with delight." (Literary Review)

‘Rendell set an extraordinarily high benchmark in crime fiction that continued throughout her long career. She is revered by all who came after her.’ Ian Rankin
When Carl sells a packet of slimming pills to his close friend, Stacey, inadvertently causing her death, he sets in train a sequence of catastrophic events which begins with subterfuge, extends to lies, and culminates 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.
‘Rendell transformed what had become a staid and formulaic genre into a different kind of crime novel. She turned it into a prism for examining the world around her with a critical eye. ‘ Val MacDermid
‘Ruth Rendell has raised the game of the crime novel in this country through the sheer quality of
her writing.’
Peter James
‘Ruth Rendell deals quite seamlessly with social issues. She’s got a real grip on what makes people
do things.’
Val McDermid
‘Ruth Rendell gets into the mind not only of the hero but into the mind of the villain.’
Jeffery Deaver
