Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Published in 1976 and 1977, respectively, these are fairly typical of Rendell's popular psychological thrillers. Demon presents a researcher studying psychopathic personalities who doesn't recognize that his seemingly shy, harmless neighbor is a total nut job. Judgement finds a police investigator trying to discern why a housekeeper slaughters her employer's entire family on Valentine's Day.

Kurzbeschreibung
Her white face, beautiful, stared blankly back at him. He fancied she had cringed, her slim body pressing further into the wall behind her. He didn't speak. He had never known how to talk to women. There was only one thing he had ever been able to do to women and now, smiling, he did it.

In this thriller, Mrs Rendell portrays a 50 year old psychopath called Arthur Johnson. He fits exactly the definition of a psychopathic person. He is asocial, self centred, impulsive and suffers from an acute anxiety nurosis. He has a strong need to preserve an immaculate ego, he is paranoiac, fears retribution and has an urgent need to be thought well by all people. And men like him cannot be reassured because their belief in their own worthlessness is so intense. Self-confidence cannot be implanted in Arthur anymore at the age of 50. That's why he fears other people - they represent a menace to his own integrity - and so he lives in private isolation.
Characteristically for a psychotic mind, Arthur is unable to form emotional relationships and he has no social ways of coping with his frustrations. This is certainly why Arthur keeps a plastic shop window model in his cellar. This model is dressed in his Auntie Gracie's clothes - for him she is the image of a mother, wife, counsellor, housekeeper and sole friend - which Arthur delights in "strangulating" regularly at night.
A very good thriller which shows that Mrs Rendell understands how a psychopathic mind works and how it can go awry.

This book will not disappoint Ruth Rendell fans. The story is creepy, suspenseful, and ultimately satisfying. The main character is a disturbed Norman Bates type who is compelled to visit his basement every so often to fulfill a disturbing fantasy. What happens after circumstances beyond his control prevent him from carrying out his fantasies will keep you reading until the very last page. This is Ruth Rendell at her scary best.
Format:Taschenbuch
Imagine my delight as a hard-core Rendell fan when I discovered a book that I had never read! Lonely Arthur Johnson is about to lose control of his carefully built defenses against his tendency to violence. If the first two pages of this book don't grab you, nothing will. Demon in My View is another voyage into the unexpected from the Grand Master of psychological suspense. It is not the very best of Rendell, but just a notch below.

It Knocked Me Out
This was one of the first Rendell books that I read, and it absolutely knocked me out. I was recovering from a cold, lying in bed and enjoying it nicely, when it took a turn that... Lesen Sie weiter...
