Tigerlily's Orchids: a psychologically twisted version of a modern urban fairytale from the award-winning Queen of Crime, Ruth Rendell - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
When Stuart Font decides to throw a house-warming party in his new flat, he invites all the people in his building and, after some deliberation, even includes the unpleasant caretaker and his wife. They are a disparate group of people, each with their individual Rendellian psychoses and potential for violence. There are a few other genuine friends on the list, but he definitely does not want to include his girlfriend, Claudia, as that might involve asking her husband., The party will be one everyone remembers. But not for the right reasons. Living opposite, in reclusive isolation, is a beautiful young Asian woman, christened Tigerlily by Stuart., As though from some strange urban fairytale, she emerges to exert a terrible spell on Stuart and his guests. Mr and Mrs Font, the worried parents, will soon have even more cause for concern about their handsome but hopelessly naive son. Darkly humorous and piercingly observant of human behaviour, Ruth Rendell has created another compelling fable of our lives and crimes.

Críticas
"The sins and self-deprecations of the inhabitants of a mansion block in north-west London are skewered with great skill in a novel that incorporates adultery, dipsomania, theft, paedophilia, drugs and, inevitably, murder. A clever whodunit most notable for its naked misanthropy" (Evening Standard)
"Ruth Rendell keeps up an amazingly high standard . . . utterly gripping" (A.N. Wilson)
"Once her characters start twisting on ever-tightening tracks, their fates are brilliantly sealed, and it's never obvious who'll be the victim or the culprit. Rendell's greatest trick is making an unforeseen outcome feel predestined" (Financial Times)
"Throroughly gripping . . . As always with Rendell, it's the exquisite human and social minutiae that count" (The Times)
"Ruth Rendell has few rivals as a chronicler of everyday life" (Sunday Times)
