### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent Character Development. Intricate Plot.
  

*by O***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2021*

This was my first Ruth Rendell. (Of course, I've seen her work translated to TV.) I enjoyed the plot progression, the atmosphere she created, her descriptions of the landscape and the authenticity with which she drew her diverse characters. I especially appreciate that she tied together all the loose ends at the end. I'll be reading many more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    It's worth reading for the beautiful description of the Chinese room alone.
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2021*

I enjoyed this book. It was puzzling.  I could not figure it out.  Dame Rendell's descriptive writing is outstanding, especially pertaining to nature.  So far I've read 16 of her books (Wexford series and stand-alone novels) having just become aware of her two years ago.  Some I love, some I like, one I hated. I always learn some new words and new facts.The attached photo is an oorery.  I had never heard of them before.  Another reviewer, Amazon Customer, July 2, 2021,  said she wouldn't read another book by Rendell.  Oh, you don't know what you're missing.  If for some reason you reread the reviews and see this, I urge you to reconsider.  Try Crocodile Bird, 1993.  It's not a Wexford novel.  The Best Man to Die was published in 1969, five years after her first book was published, so she was just getting started.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Disappointing for a Ruth Randell book
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2017*

Ruth Randell is a great writer.  She makes everything she writes come alive with her vivid and perceptive descriptions. This book is no exception, but the story is weak.  It's a short story filled out with 150 pages of well-written description and observation that have nothing to do with the story.  The plot is interesting, with two seemingly unconnected strands and the usual red herrings.  But then it suddenly ends with Inspector Wexford solving the mystery with clairvoyant, Sherlock Holmes-like perception.  Randell usually does a lot better.
