Title : In All Honesty - Ruth Rendell - Book

Summary :

A little lady with a legacy and crazy habits tyrannizes her attentive customers and her bitter children. When she decides to replace the carpet in her Victorian house with a thick synthetic pile carpet, she doesn't know that it's at her own risk... Thus begins In All Honesty , the first short story in this collection where Ruth Rendell explores the phobias of everyday life: a repetition, a habit becomes unbearable and the actions follow one another until the damage is irreparable.
We end up slipping death caps into trays of mushrooms in a supermarket, hating the Times crossword, convincing ourselves we caused the death of a loved one, using nicotine as a lethal weapon...
With her renowned psychological finesse and deceptive economy of style, Ruth Rendell dissects the motives behind her actions, exposing the inner workings of her characters' neuroses to create, more than suspense, a nagging unease.
Ruth Rendell has established herself as the queen of crime fiction. She is the only author to have twice received the Gold Danyo Award from the British Crime Writers' Association. She has just been honored by the Queen of England, who named her a Companion of the British Empire.
In All Honesty is his nineteenth book to be published by Editions Calmann-Levy.
