Enjoyable mystery. A bit too much Burden and not enough Wexford, for my liking. Still, a diverting way to pass the time.

See what happens when you close shopping centers at funny hours, like 6 pm? Dead bodies pop up in the parking lot. It's the frustation of not being able to get dinner.

This is the first Wexford book I read, and I enjoyed it very much. It is what Miss Marple and Jessica Flecther should be.

Chief Inspector Wexford investigates the estrangement of a middle-age housewife at a car park of a supermarket. In the meantime, he takes over the case after the explosion of a bomb in his car which was addressed to his subversive daughter.

A lot of action in this book, as usual by any book written by Ruth Rendell.
