Used book – The Tiger Lily House, Ruth Rendell

Stuart Font, a young and handsome London landlord, has several questions. Was he right to invite all the residents of his building to his housewarming party? And if he invites his mistress Claudia, won't her husband show up too? Furthermore, he's increasingly intrigued by the pretty, solitary Asian woman, a tiger lily grower, who lives opposite. But Stuart, rather naive, is far from suspecting that this little party will be etched in everyone's memory. And for good reason: it will trigger a spiral of violence and murder. Like in an urban fairy tale, the mysterious young woman seems to have emerged from the Tiger Lily house only to cast a terrible spell.
