Helpful Score: 2
Ruth Rendell is on of my favorite mystery authors. This book was a sort of combo romance/mystery. I really liked it. It's not deep or anything but still enjoyable.
Some writers are fantastic at building characters including even their dreams. Others are masters of plot including mysteries and suspense. Still others have laconic but powerful descriptive skills. Rendell is all of these, a writer who makes you pay attention and makes you think and keep track of the hints she drops throughout. She pulls you in and you will have no clue about the ending until the end and then it will make sense. She is a gem of writers.
