A Guilty Thing Surprised: A Wexford Case
A Guilty Thing Surprised: A Wexford Case

Murder mystery exposing perfect couple's facade.

Ruth Rendell's craftsmanship in weaving a tale of a seemingly perfect life unraveling through murder is masterful. As a fan of detective stories, you'll appreciate Chief Inspector Wexford's gritty determination to uncover the truth beneath the community's idyllic veneer. It's a book for those who love a good whodunit with strong character exploration and a generous helping of societal critique.
