The thing is they both happened in my district.” The police knew all about Margaret Parsons’s lide and, by the look of it, it was very dull. Margaret Parsons had been a ‘good’ woman. Religious, old-fashioned and respectable, her life had been as spotless and ordinary as her home, as unexciting and dependable as her marriage.

She had been a predictable, ordinary woman - but now she had met a death of passion and violence for which there seemed to be no motive or clue… Ruth Rendell is recognised as one of the most accomplished crime writers of today and this superb paperback collection features ten of her very best novels starring the inimitable Chief Inspector Wexford.
