NO MORE DYING THEN

What kind of a person would kidnap two children? That is the question that haunts Inspector 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 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.

Fiction

SHAKE HANDS FOREVER

According to all accounts, Angela Hathall was deeply in love with her husband and far too paranoid to invite an unknown person into their home. So who managed to gain entry and strangle her without a struggle? Perhaps it was the mystery woman who left her fingerprints on the Hathalls’ bathtub? Perhaps it was Angela’s husband, who lied about a stolen library book? And why was the Hathall home, usually so unkempt, exquisitely clean the day of Angela’s death? Then a neighbor—friendly, knowing, disarmingly beautiful—offers Inxpector Wexford her assistance. What begins as a rather tricky case turns into an obsession that threatens to destroy the Inspector’s career—as well as his marriage.

Fiction

MURDER BEING ONCE DONE

Wexford’s doctor has prescribed no alcohol, no rich food and, above all, no police work. When a young girl’s body is found in a London cemetery and the local police, under the command of Wexford’s nephew, are baffled, Wexford decides to brave his doctor’s wrath and the condescension of the London police by doing a little investigating of his own. A compelling story of mysterious identity and untimely death, Murder Being Once Done is Rendell at her most sublime.
