From AudioFile

Ruth Rendell's brand of psychological suspense is much imitated, but her master's touch is clearly evident. Nigel Anthony, also clearly a master of the narrative arts, takes listeners through Inspector Wexford's winding investigation of the disappearance of two teenaged children and their overnight sitter. Moody, introspective, and intellectual, Wexford is wonderfully played by Anthony, who amplifies, not just the Chief Inspector, but the other policemen, family members, and townsfolk. Anthony spins out the tale with ease and assurance. He's in touch with the story's pace, knowing exactly when to stretch it out and when to ratchet up the suspense. Listeners can savor Rendell's newest work and enjoy the listening hours. R.F.W.

Review

“The Wexford books clearly display Rendell’s great mastery of storytelling at its best.” -- Sunday Telegraph

“Ruth Rendell has quite simply transformed the genre of crime writing. She deploys her peerless skill in blending the mundane, commonplace aspects of life with the potent, murky impulses of desire and greed, obsession and fear.” -- Anthony Clare, Sunday Times

“Ruth Rendell is not only the finest crime novelist there is, but one of the finest novelists writing in the English language.” -- Gerald Kaufman, Scotsman

4.0étoiles sur 5 Family Matters., Sep 28 2003
Par C. Gilbert "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Babes in the Wood (Hardcover)
Rendell does a masterful job of spinning together the twin threads of crime and family in this novel. In _Babes in the Woods_ the crime is not what you think, families are not what you think, and you find that when the floods recede, most appearances can be deceiving.

One of the better Wexford mysteries, and well worth reading.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another Rendell Hit!, Sep 15 2003
Par Christine L. Engleman "Christine" (Darnestown, MD USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Ruth Rendell seldom disapoints and I cannot think of any book in the Wexford series that is less that 5 stars. Besides being a clever mystery writer, each book takes us further into the lives of Inspector Wexford and his family. As he and Mike Burden undertake to solve the disapearance of children from a very strange family, his own family's problems keep him busy as well. I think that a great deal of the pull of each successive novel in this series is that we know we are going to have a great visit with some old friends we are happy to see again. That and Ms Rendell's wonderful writing makes each new book a reason for celebrating!

5.0étoiles sur 5 More from Rendell on top form, Déc 14 2002
Par RachelWalker "RachelW" (England) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Babes in the Wood (Hardcover)
This has got to be one of the best Wexford tales RR has written yet.

It is brilliantly written, as always, and there is a wonderful cast of characters, all of whom we almost invariably either like or despise. Wexford is on fine form, and he is fascinating as ever. His wry observations of life, and his opinions (while we may not agree with them always) make him seem very human, and he is a very interesting characters for us to see the story through the eyes of. Once again, Burden tags along, and provides an edge of distinct grey in his character. However, this time he doesnt get quite as much of a role as he has in the past.

The plot is original and absolutely fascinating. The way it unfolds is unfalteringly engrossing, and even though this is no thriller, its still a huge pageturner and its intriguing, exciting, and Ruth Rendell builds layer upon layer of nice plot turns into the story.

In the beginning, we are presented with an almost inexplicable set of human behaviours, and, through the events of her plot, Rendell excellently explains why people sometimes act in such strange ways, which is part of the reason why this book is so fascinating. the mystery contains many more levels than just the "who?" or "how?", but she delves deep into the character's psyche's, giving reason to every single characters often strange actions. Finding out "why" people do such strange things is almost as compelling as the mystery itself.

Along the way, we are also presented with some more brilliant story from wexford's own family life. Topping the book off is the fact that Kingsmarkham is flooding, which gives the story an extra layer of originality and interest, and also allowing her plot to go down different, more unconventional avenues.

The final conclusion is unexpected and satisfying.

I can't wait for what she has to offer us next year. Ruth Rendell's crown is showing absolutely no signs of tarnishing, even after all the many, many years she's been wearing it.
