PETERS TOWNSHIP PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWS
March 29 : Dark Corners by Ruth Rendell When his father dies , Carl Martin inherits a house in an increasingly rich and trendy London neighborhood . Cash poor , Carl rents the upstairs room and kitchen to the first person he interviews , Dermot McKinnon . That is mistake number one . Mistake number two is keeping the bizarre collection of homeopathic and alternative “ cures ” that his father left in the medicine cabinet , including a stash of controversial diet pills . Mistake number three is selling fifty of those diet pills to a friend , who is then found dead . Dermot seizes a nefarious opportunity and begins to blackmail Carl , refusing to pay rent , and creepily invading Carl ’ s space . Ingeniously weaving together two storylines that finally merge in a shocking turn , Ruth Rendell describes one man ’ s spiral into darkness — and murder — as he falls victim to a diabolical foe he cannot escape .
