Book Review: Rendezvous in Black by Cornell Woolrich "How do you go about finding out who the best-loved woman in a guy's life is? Ask him?" Outline of the story: A young man waited for his girlfriend for a nighttime rendezvous, they were about to get married and life couldn't be any sweeter for the young couple. Then the unthinkable happened: the young man waited and waited, only to learn a freak accident had killed his girl in this fatal night. After a period of heartbreak, the man decided to seek revenge against the five men he felt were responsible for the death of his lady love, 'justice' would be served by him killing the most beloved women in those men's lives. Rate: 4.8 stars out of 5. The author worked his charm again in this tale of tragic love, loss and revenge. As usual, the writing is the strongest point of this novel, not many people can write with such style and overwhelming atmosphere anymore! The story is short, only 211 pages, but it's still a very well crafted,
