Kort biografi
Ruth Barbara Rendell, née Grasemann, was the only child of two schoolteachers. She got her first job as a reporter for a South Woodford newspaper and married her boss, editor Don Rendell, at age 20. The couple had one son. She published her first novel, From Doon with Death, in 1964. Ms. Rendell was a prolific writer of police procedurals and psychological suspense/crime novels exploring such themes as romantic obsession, family secrets, miscommunication, and the impact of chance and coincidence. After years of writing such critically acclaimed works and receiving many awards, in 1986 she created the pseudonym Barbara Vine. The Barbara Vine novels are more oblique and have a recurring theme of consequences from events that occurred in the past. She was made a life peer as Baroness Rendell of Babergh in 1997.

Ruth Rendell är allra bäst när hon skriver sina psykologiska deckare tycker jag men hon är alltid pålitlig och denna pusseldeckare med Wexford i huvudrollen är inget undantag. helt klart godkänd

En mycket tråkig roman som man i förstone inte begrep vart den ville komma. Och inte intresserade man sig för det heller, det var bara på vilja man tog sig igenom första halvan. Sedan rann det på, efter hand ville man faktiskt veta hur det skulle gå till slut. - Men slutet blev lika trågigt som början, och aldrig blev man särskilt överraskad.
Personporträtten känns inte särskilt trovärdiga, de flesta karaktärerna är väldigt stereotypa.

Översättningen var lite underlig också, med uttryck som "Att sa sig före" något och "överantvarda". Känns inte så fräscht.… (mer)
