Adam and Eve and Pinch Me: A Novel - Rilegato

“Ruth Rendell is one of the greatest novelists presently at work in our language.”
—Scott Turow

“Rendell is not only irresistible because of the brilliance of her descriptions of contemporary life and the sad truth of her characters. She is a great storyteller who knows how to make sure that the reader has to turn the pages out of a desperate need to find out what is going to happen next.”
—John Mortimer

“It is not only her rate of productivity which is startling. It is also her ability . . . to tap into registers of feeling which range from the commonplace to the psychopathic. She is to be treasured.”
—Anita Brookner

“Those who haven’t read Ruth Rendell have missed something unique and wonderful.”
—Tony Hillerman

“Ruth Rendell is, unequivocally, the most brilliant mystery novelist of our times. Her stories are a lesson in a human nature as capable of the most exotic love as it is of the cruelest murder. She does not avert her gaze and magnificently triumphs in a style that is uniquely hers and mesmerizing.”
—Patricia Cornwell
