From three-time Edgar Award-winning enigma writer Ruth Rendell comes a captivating and expertly plotted tale of residents and servants on one block of your posh London street - and the dangerous ways their lives intertwine. Life in the well-manicured London locale of Hexam Place is much less placid and orderly as it appears. Behind the tranquil backyards and polished entryways, interactions between servants and their employers are established to combust. Henry, the handsome valet to Lord Studley, is sleeping with both Lord's partner and his university-age child. Montserrate, the Still family's lazy au pair, is assisting to conceal Mrs. Still's illicit affair with a tv actor - for a little price. June, the haughty housekeeper to a princess of dubious origin, is hard at work forming a "society" for servants to address grievances about their employers. Meanwhile, a disturbed gardener, Dex, believes a tone of voice in his mobile phone is supplying him godlike instructions - that can endanger the lives of most who reside in Hexam Place. A deeply observed and suspenseful update to the upstairs/downstairs genre, The St. Zita World is Ruth Rendall at her incisive best.
