5.0 out of 5 stars A completely unexpected outcome, Jul 17 2001
By A reader (Litchfield Co., CT) - See all my reviews
This was an enjoyable book because there were several possibilities presented, but the person who was responsible for murdering the victim was unexpected.

I had no idea of where the case was headed and was surprised at the end. An excellent read. Ins. Wexford is a favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent murder mystery, Nov 11 1998
By A Customer
Terrific vintage Rendell, one of the best Chief Inspector Wexford mysteries. The wealthy and beautiful Elizabeth Nightingale is murdered one night in the woods, and it is up to the intelligent, cantankerous Wexford and his sidekick Burden to solve the crime. This appears at first to be a fairly ordinary mystery; the leisurely pace and sharp humor may fool the reader into thinking that this is a peaceful, quiet novel. The final revelation, however, is disturbing and shocking, one of the author's most gripping and powerful conclusions. Otherwise, a fairly light, literate, entertaining mystery, written in Rendell's irresistably readable prose style, filled with ingenious plot twists and numerous red herrings. A bravura performance; even this comparatively minor work shows that Rendell can easily outwrite the vast majority of her contemporaries.
