A Judgement in Stone by Ruth Rendell

3.0

From a technical standpoint, A Judgement in Stone is great. Revealing the murder itself and that Eunice Parchman is a murderer from the beginning creates the effect in which the reader is suspensefully counting down until the actual murder, which I think is ingenious. Even when I knew the murder was coming, I still felt quite disturbed when it actually happened. The dramatic irony/black comedy ending was nice, though.
Idk, I have mixed feelings about this one, mainly because I felt like I couldn't extract an overarching message from A Judgement in Stone.
