Susan Hill is back And so is her detective, Simon Serrailler- "Crime fans on the look out for intelligent examples of the genre will enjoy "The Risk of Darkness"" ("Time Out") We met Simon Serrailler first in "The Various Haunts of Men" and got to know him better in "The Pure in Heart." Susan Hill's third crime novel, "The Risk of Darkness"-perhaps even more compulsive and convincing than its predecessors-explores the crazy grief of a widowed husband, whose derangement turns into obsession and threats, violence and terror. Meanwhile, handsome, introverted Simon Serrailler, whose cool reserve has broken the hearts of several women, finds his own heart troubled by the newest recruit to the Cathedral staff: a feisty female Anglican priest with red hair. "The Risk of Darkness" is truly the work of a writer at the top of her form.
Susan Hill has written two other stories about Ruby Raccoon: "Ruby Bakes a Cake" and "Ruby Paints a Picture". She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband and two daughters.
