“A most pleasing tale, adroitly plotted and deftly rendered, peopled with characters both original and convincing.�Robert Wade, San Diego Union Tribune, “[Targo] is as good a villain as Wexford ever tried to pin down & hauntingly nasty.� Spectator (U.K.), “Those coming to this masterful series for the first time doubtless will be delighted to make Wexford's acquaintance.�Tim Rutten, Los Angeles Times, “One of the best-written detective series in the genre's history& Everything weaves together in Rendell's imaginary town, but more so than ever in The Monster in the Box .�Michael Sims, Washington Post

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
