Shake Hands Forever
Ruth Rendell

Vintage, 2000

Sharp, focused mystery
Shake Hands For Ever - a novel which takes its title from a work by Michael Drayton - is very much a Wexford novel. There's not a lot of Burden here at all, instead Rendell turns her full attention to the character of Wexford, and his frustration when he comes upon a ...
  
  











  



  
A Guilty Thing Surprised (Chief Inspector Wexford Mysteries)
Ruth Rendell

Fawcett, 1987

Excellent murder mystery
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 ...
  
  











  



  
Some Lie and Some Die (An Inspector Wexford Mystery)
Ruth Rendell

Vintage, 1999

An Elegant Piece of Mystery Fiction
"Some Lie and Some Die" is a superbly crafted mystery novel. It's short--in pages, and in time-line, and it's not overly burdened with plotting or diverting details. It is, in a word, elegant. The events (a murder, a missing girl, a palette of suspects) are set ...
  
  











  



  
Road Rage (A Chief Inspector Wexford Mystery) (A Chief Inspector Wexford Mystery)
Ruth Rendell

Dell, 1998

A typical Wexford novel - excellent!
Rendell has done it again! This is a masterful mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. Wexford's beloved Kingsmarkham is a village divided. A new bypass is scheduled to be constructed, and protesters descend on the quiet little town, causing havoc ...
  
  











  



  
From Doon with Death: The First Inspector Wexford Novel (Mortalis.)
Ruth Rendell

Ballantine Books, 2007

For Starters ...
Starters is the British term for appetizers. And, as the first in the Inspector Wexford series, Rendell does, indeed, present a fine appetizer. FROM DOON WITH DEATH was published in 1964. I got a list of the titles and publication dates of the Wexford books and am ...
  
  











  



  
Wolf to the Slaughter: An Inspector Wexford Novel (Chief Inspector Wexford Mysteries)
Ruth Rendell

Ballantine Books, 2008

Absolutely stunning
Anita Margolis, young, beautiful, carefree, has vanished into thin air. She left her home to attend a party one wet evening, but has not been seen since. She is reported missing soon after by her brother, whom she shared a flat with, the acclaimed but eccentric artist ...
  
  











  



  
Sins of the Fathers: An Inspector Wexford Mystery (Formerly Titled : a New Lease of Death)
Ruth Rendell

Ballantine Books, 1986

As Usual, a Rendell Ending with a Twist
This is a much older Rendell, an Inspector Wexford from 1967. It probably seems a bit dated and therefore poorly reviewed. I see another example of Rendell's beautifully written and convoluted plots. The book that you think you are reading as you go along turns ...

Gene Florence, Cathy Florence

Collector Books, 2006

Must have resource
I recently started collecting Jadite. I found this book to be a valuable resource. Great photos. Good price guide and full of valuable information.
  
  











  



  
Best Man to Die (Chief Inspector Wexford Mysteries)
Ruth Rendell

Fawcett, 1987

Twists of plot all over the place - excellent!
Not your usual predictable murder mystery. I usually don't like the Inspector Wexford stuff, but this one was outstanding, read it!
  
  











  



  
Not in the Flesh: A Wexford Novel (Inspector Wexford Mystery)
Ruth Rendell

Crown, 2008

Excellent
What a shame that another reviewer did not bother to read Rendell's account of female genital mutilation as written in this book. It is well-known in the UK that Baroness Rendell is a long term campaigner against the practice. In this book she introduces the subject ...

A Sleeping Life
Ruth Rendell

Vintage, 2000

Well Organized, Intriguing, and Stylishly Written
Many critics praise Ruth Rendall for her psychological insight into the characters she presents. I have never understood this; from my own point of view, her psychological insight usually consists of inconsistencies and uncertain motivations--the latter of which most ...
  
  











  



  
Simisola (Inspector Wexford)
Ruth Rendell

Arrow Books Ltd, 1995

A Wexford mystery. Only 18 black people live in Kingsmarkham. One is Wexford's new doctor, whose daughter disappears. Chief Inspector Wexford takes more than a mere professional interest in the case, testing not only his powers of deduction, but his beliefs and prejudices about racial equality.
  
  











  



  
Harm Done: A New Inspector Wexford Mystery
Ruth Rendell

Vintage, 2000

Good Story
The narrator of the CD production of Harm Done that I listened to was Portia Davinia. She did a great job with the voices and accents of the different characters. There are several mysteries (small and big) that Detective Wexford is involved with. Wexford is a ...

This is a complete unabridged reprint of a very rare 1898 book, complete with the author's tales in search of all sorts of exotic cocktails, such as things were in the 19th century. Also includes chapters on beer, ales, and wines.
