13 Steps Down

13 Steps Down: Ruth Rendell: Crown Publishers: Mystery: 340 pages

Mix Cellini, moves to the Notting Hill district in London just to be near where the infamous serial killer, Reggie Christie, use to live, with whom he is obsessed with. Mix seems to be a normal guy until one day at work he sees Nerissa Nash, a supermodel, and Mix knows that once they met that she will fall in love with him. So he thinks up of scenarios of how they can run into each other to make his dream a reality.

13 Steps Down was named one of the Top Ten Audio Mysteries of 2005 by Booklist, so I decided to give Ruth Rendell a try. I was not disappointed. If a writer can make you hope that the killer will not get caught, they are worth reading. A cozy it is not, but there was still a limited amount of language and sex mentioned for a psychological thriller.
