"Love a mystery and Rendell adds layers of description of the countryside, gardens and wildlife. Personalities galore and some with interesting character development. I had trouble seeing the mystery solution which underscores this story of many characters and twists and turns. Enjoyed it and read long one night to get to the end."
— Kathleen (4 out of 5 stars)
Road Rage Listener Reviews
-
" I find Ruth Rendell quite good for a mystery/crime/spooky read that draws one in. A decent light read. "
— Jean, 2/12/2014 -
" Typically intelligent but gentle Inspector Wexford mystery. Very relaxing summer read, perhaps best suited to Boomer ladies. "
— Annfairfaxbaker, 2/1/2014 -
" Readable, but a bit longwinded and lacking the spark that many of the books in Rendell's Wexford series have. "
— Bruce, 1/10/2014 -
" As always, I enjoy reading an Inspector Wexford mystery because he is such an interesting character. Ruth Rendell writes a tight mystery with just enough clues to keep me wound up in the troubles of her characters until the end. "
— Connie, 1/5/2014 -
" Estranho, mas no bom sentido! "
— Babete, 1/2/2014 -
" One of Rendell's best. "
— Selma, 12/8/2013 -
" Another thriller by Ruth Rendell. I really loved the other book l read of hers, and this one was also good, but not as clever as the other. There was a great twist at the end, and I still love reading about the British legal system. I will read more of hers in the future. "
— Sydney, 12/2/2013 -
" Not hard to guess and a slow journey to get there. Not Ruth Rendell's finest hour... "
— Laura, 9/10/2013 -
" I really enjoy the way Rendell teases - making one think one knows the solution, then making one doubt, rethink, doubt again. I particularly like the way Wexford and his wife work together. Their marriage is amazing. "
— Kyrie, 8/2/2013 -
" Things get personal when Inspector Wexford's wife Dora disappears mysteriously. A radical environmentalist group claims responsibility, while a group Wexford is sympathetic to is trying to stop a bypass from being built. Above average Rendell, also well dramatized in the TV production. "
— RJ, 3/16/2013 -
" I have yet to read a poor Ruth Rendell mystery. in fact I have enjoyed reading them all. Not all at once but over the years. "

" Good enough that I ignored television and everything else tonight to finish it. "
— Sally, 2/1/2012 -
" This was an excellent read. Inspector Wexford has an entertaining way of deducing who done it. I really enjoy his novels. I gave it 5 stars. "
— Temple, 1/24/2012 -
" Rendell's books are all solid, well-written, and very British. Unfortunately, I seem to find all of her books tough to get into, and this one was no exception. Once it got going it was OK, but I can't say much more than that... "
— International, 12/17/2011 -
