Reseña del editor
The Portobello area of West London has a rich personality – vibrant, brilliant in colour, noisy, with graffiti that approach art, bizarre and splendid. An indefinable edge to it adds a spice of danger. There is nothing safe about Portobello... Eugene Wren inherited an art gallery from his father near an arcade that now sells cashmere, handmade soaps and children’s clothes. But he decided to move to a more upmarket site in Kensington Church Street. Eugene was fifty, with prematurely white hair. He was, perhaps, too secretive for his own good. He also had an addictive personality. But he had cut back radically on his alcohol consumption and had given up cigarettes. Which was just as well, considering he was going out with a doctor. For all his good intentions, though, there was something he didn’t want her to know about... On a shopping trip one day, Eugene, quite by chance, came across an envelope containing money. He picked it up. For some reason, rather than report the matter to the police, he wrote a note and stuck it up on lamppost near his house: ‘Found in Chepstow Villas, a sum of money between eighty and a hundred and sixty pounds. Anyone who has lost such a sum should apply to the phone number below.’ This note would link the lives of a number of very different people – each with their obsessions, problems and dreams and despairs. And through it all the hectic life of Portobello would bustle on.
Contraportada
Praise for The Water’s Lovely: ‘Ruth Rendell is back to her creepy best. She has always been 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 coaxes her horrors along so seductively that all kinds of nastiness seem not only possible, but inevitable’ Literary Review ‘Ruth Rendell is excellent at catatonia. She revels in the menacing potential of stillness, the sinister heft of the inanimate object. In this cool yet engrossing novel, life’s miscellanea...threaten to unmask awful secrets. The suspense is genteel, but palpable... Rendell is in full control of her craft here.’ Sunday Times ‘The plot twists in this electrifying read reach all the way to the last page.’ Publishers Weekly
