The source on which we all draw

[Wexford] has become an old friend who gets better with age

It's not often you pick up a book where the plot is technically perfect, where the characters all come off the page perfectly formed and the writing is so good that it's impossible to spot an unnecessary word, but which still managed to be a damn good story. I was still reading at 2 o'clock this morning...

Psychologically acute and extremely disturbing, Ruth Rendell's work is outstanding

The writing is lean and mean, and the climax will blow you away

Compelling

There is no doubt that Crime is a page-turner
