What to expect
Stephen Whalby loves to walk the moor. It is a dark and forbidding place, but it is his.
When the body of a young blonde woman is found there, her face horrifically disfigured, the victim of a merciless murderer, his beloved moor is tainted with suspicion and terror.
Then a second woman goes missing on the moor and Stephen watches as the search party make their way across the treacherous murder scene. Not to be usurped by a killer or a victim; he, and only he, is the master of the moor.
Critics Review
-
Wonderful at exploring the dark corners of the human mind, and the way private fantasies can clash and explode into terrifying violence
Daily Mail
-
Rendell is unrivalled at depicting psychologically warped people and at creating unease through the simplest things. This is another triumph
Observer
-
The best mystery writer anywhere in the English-speaking world
Boston Globe
-
Once her characters start twisting on every-tightening tracks, their fates are brilliantly sealed, and it’s never obvouis who’ll be the victim or the culprit. Rendell’s greatest trick is making an unforeseen outcome feel predestined
