Helpful Score: 1
An unusual mystery novel, in that not much really happens. However, the primary plot is still intriguing and held my interest. Unfortunately, the secondary plot about a Pakistani family and their teenage daughter was excruciating. I found myself speed-reading through those sections as the book progressed. Not one of Rendell's best works, but still worth reading if you are a fan of her Inspector Wexford series.

Too much hype doth disappointment make.
Gentle, slow tale. References to the way life used to be, especially in England, were enjoyable, as Wexford remembers days when people did not become media stars via crimes. Also, nice observations. But no grand pay-off for the reader, just a slow denouement.
