From Library Journal

This Inspector Wexford duo debuted back-to-back in 1972. Murder finds the British sleuth defying doctor's orders and investigating the death of a young girl, while Dying (LJ 7/72) offers a baffling case of two kidnapped children. A double dose of Rendell is twice the fun.

Product Description

What kind of a person would kidnap two children?

That is the question that haunts Wexford when a five-year-old boy and a twelve-year-old girl disappear from the village of Kingsmarkham. When a child's body turns up at an abandoned country home one search turns into a murder investigation and the other turns into a race against time.  Filled with pathos and terror, passion, bitterness, and loss, No More Dying Then is Rendell at her most chillingly astute.

With her Inspector Wexford novels, Ruth Rendell, winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award, has added layers of depth, realism and unease to the classic English mystery. For the canny, tireless, and unflappable policeman is an unblinking observer of human nature, whose study has taught him that under certain circumstances the most unlikely people are capable of the most appalling crimes.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent suspense story with rounded characterizations., Aoû 30 1999
Par Un client
Above average for Ruth Rendell with unremitting suspens and round up characters, this book could be termed "superb" by any other author; for Ruth Rendell, it is merely excellent. Contrary to the view of the reader from Riga, Ruth Rendell, to me, is of the same category as Dorothy Sayers - stylishly erudite. P. D. James I would classify with Agatha Christie, with a pedestrian style and unmemorable characterizations.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A worthy addition to the Wexford series, Janv. 15 2001
Par Un client
No More Dying Then is worth reading. It stands on it's own, and it is a worthy addition to the Wexford series. I've been reading Rendell for a couple of years now, primarily because Elizabeth George's work is so often compared to hers. I find the comparison complimentary to both authors. Rendell's early work, including No More Dying Then, is less complex in plot and character development than both her later work and all of George's work. Regardless, Rendell's stories are interesting, and her characters are believable. No More Dying Then is generally a satisfying work. The relationships and thought-processes are well-crafted and authentic. The red herrings are fun, and the ending is a bit of a suprise. Plus, there is enough bizarre and deviant behavior to entertain a second milennium audience without excruciating detail, for those of us who prefer not to know too much...

I have been reading Rendell's work in order of publication (a personal preference when authors are as prolific as she), and I have thoroughly enjoyed the development of both Wexford and Burden. I get the feeling that Rendell likes her main characters and cares about their lives. As a result I care about them, and want to know more about them.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Poignant and suspenseful fiction., Mai 24 1999
Par Un client
Written around 1970, this mystery about the abduction and possible murder of two children in Sussex holds up today. In fact, one major plotline reminded me of the 90s bestseller, *The Deep End of the Ocean.* Rendell's writing is often compared, justifiably, to P.D. James'; her grasp of psychology, particularly the psychology of grief and loneliness, is profound and poignant. From the characters of Inspector Burdin and his sister-in-law Grace to those of the villain(s) and victim(s), Rendell has rendered real sensate beings whose pain and terror we share.
