The Crocodile Bird by Ruth Rendell

5.0

Amazing. A mother-daughter relationship dynamic for the ages. Did Eve hinder her daughter's development by keeping her so isolated from the outside world or did she make her into an unusually resourceful and strong young woman? I won't forget Liza Beck, our heroine, for some time. She's a beautifully drawn character with an amazing story. Dark, intricately plotted, compelling reading. Easily the best of Rendell's works that I've read thus far.
