Amazon.com description: Product Description: En torno a una mesa del pub Dugong, los trabajadores domesticos de la aristocratica callejuela londinense Hexam Place han creado una informal sociedad. Alli, criadas y conductores, mayordomos y cocineros, nineras y au pairs se sienten liberados para contarse las miserias de sus trabajos y las manias de sus empleadores pero, hasta que punto son sinceros los unos con los otros? La llegada del jardinero Dex, un hombre recien salido del psiquiatrico que cree que los mensajes de su compania de movil proceden de una voz divina, abrira una caja de Pandora llena de obsesiones, adulterios y, quiza, asesinatos. Con la elegancia habitual en ella, Ruth Rendell nos ofrece un nuevo recorrido por los laberintos mas oscuros de la mente humana. A punto de cumplir cincuenta anos de carrera literaria, esta gran dama de las letras inglesas es sinonimo del mejor thriller y de los mas perturbadores retratos psicologicos. / Life on Hexam Place appears orderly on the outside: drivers take their employers to and from work, dogs are walked, flowers are planted in gardens. But beneath this tranquil veneer, this quintessentially London world of servants and their masters is set to combust. Henry, the handsome valet to Lord Studley, is sleeping with both the Lords wife and his university-age daughter. Montserrat, the Still familys lazy au pair, assists Mrs. Still in keeping secret her illicit affair with a television actor, in exchange for pocket cash. June, the haughty housekeeper to a princess of dubious origin, tries to enlist her fellow house-helpers into a society to address complaints about their employers. Meanwhile, Dex, the disturbed gardener to several families on the block, thinks a voice on his cell phone is giving him godlike instructions: commands that could imperil the lives of all those in Hexam Place.
