Its dark, disquieting images linger long after the book itself is finished. 'Duncker is a mistress of suspense ...a writer of fascinating versatility. Her preoccupations - sex, power, obsession, archaeology, perversion, revenge, food - are always consuming, never prosaic. Seven Tales of Sex and Death is a febrile, fascinating, disquieting read. It asserts itself for what it serious stuff, to be read in one gulp and then mulled over for days' MAGGIE O'FARRELL, Independent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48039081083092,"sku":"TVJ-023353","price":9.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-023353-1.jpeg?v=1780405239","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/seven-tales-of-sex-and-death-by-patricia-duncker","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
