This Picador Classic edition of Minette Walters' The Sculptress features an introduction by Stephanie Merritt, journalist and author of While You Sleep. 'It was a slaughterhouse, the most horrific scene I have ever witnessed . . . Olive Martin is a dangerous woman. I advise you to be extremely wary in your dealings with her.' The facts of the case were simple: Olive Martin had pleaded guilty to killing and dismembering her sister and mother, earning herself the chilling nickname 'The Sculptress'. Journalist Rosalind Leigh knew this much before her first meeting with Olive, currently serving a life sentence. How could Roz have foreseen that the encounter was destined to change her life - for ever?… (mer)

Olive Martin sitzt wegen einer grausamen Tat im Gefängnis: Sie hat zugegeben, ihre Mutter und ihre Schwester ermordet und dann zerstückelt zu haben. Unter ihren Mitgefangenen ist Olive wegen ihrer Ausbrüche gefürchtet, und ihre Beschäftigung mit Knetpuppen, in die sie Nadeln sticht, hat ihr die Bezeichnung „Die Bildhauerin“ eingetragen. Die Journalistin Rosalind Leigh ist gewarnt, als sie das Gefängnis betritt, um Olive zu treffen. Doch schnell stößt sie auf eine Reihe von Ungereimtheiten, und die beiden Frauen begeben sich auf eine gefährliche Reise in die Vergangenheit ...
...the assured British stylist doesn't let up on her sensitive probing of these two tortured psyches. And in the end, it's the women's friendship, not their weirdness, that makes this story hard to put down.

Die Zeitspanne, die Robert Martin in seinem Testament dafür angesetzt hatte, war abgelaufen, und sein Vermögen - dank Crews Spekulationen noch gewachsen - lag weiterhin auf Eis, während Olive die Genehmigung einholte, ihre Rechte darauf geltend zu machen.
