Product Description

Book Description

Rodney Williams's disappearance seems typical to Chief Inspector Wexford -- a simple case of a man running off with a woman other than his wife. But when another woman reports that her husband is missing, the case turns unpleasantly complex.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tiresome, Sep 20 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Unkindness of Ravens (Audio Cassette)
I picked up the audio version of this book hoping it would keep my interest for a cross country drive. Instead, I found myself irritated at the tedious pace and extraneous details. I didn't care for any of the characters, and by the time I realized it wasn't going to get any better...I was in too deep and had to finish out the 9+ hours to find out whodunnit. At least it kept me awake for the drive. Nevermore.

4.0 out of 5 stars As good as PD James, Feb 11 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: An Unkindness of Ravens: An Inspector Wxford Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
I've been looking for an English mystery writer to match PD James and I've found her. Ruth Rendell's Inspector Wexford is intelligent and cultured, just like Dalgliesh. This was a fun read, interesting, and one that kept me guessing. I'm looking forward to reading more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probing mystery with many surprises along the way, Jun 6 2000
By W. Oliver (Alabama) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: An Unkindness of Ravens: An Inspector Wxford Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Chief Inspector Wexford's neighbor Rodney Williams is reported missing by his wife and what he thinks will be a typical "husband running out on wife" case proves otherwise. As the search for the missing man resumes, Wexford soons finds that Williams was a man of many secrets. The man's penchant for young girls coincides with the popularity of a local feminists group called ARRIA which seems to include every young woman in town. Rendell does a masterful job here of layering new elements to the mystery with every concluding chapter and the outcome eventually turns out to be surprising yet sensible. Rendell is also an expert at molding three dimensional characters with only minimal details (what was the other reviewer reading? ). Overall, well written, literate and satisying.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Unconvincing, improbable little fantasy posing as a mystery, with cardboard characters you never really care about. Read more
