Her crime novels have a deep vein of surrealism; not just in the ingenious plotting but in the seething menace lying behind the everyday.\u00a0The Narrow Bed<\/em>, the tenth of her Culver Valley series, is exquisitely horrible. As with previous books, much of the enjoyment here is in the psychological acuity. Although she is praised for the twistiness of her plots, Hannah\u2019s real gift is in revealing the contorted and convoluted nature of the human heart.\u201d
