A review by annedyne
Veiled One by Ruth Rendell
5.0
Intricate and bizarre, yet very human and very entertaining - brilliant
I think this is the best Ruth Rendell I've read to date - and that's saying a lot. I watched this intricate jewel of a puzzle unwind before me, mesmerized by the craft of it, and yet peered out from Wexford's or Burden's eyes through every weird, tender, horrifying, hilarious, delicious moment to the utterly satisfying reveal.
