A young girl is murdered in a cemetery. A compelling story of mysterious identity and untimely death, Murder Being Once Done is Rendell at her most sublime. For the canny, tireless, and unflappable policeman is an unblinking observer of human nature, whose study has taught him that under certain circumstances the most unlikely people are capable of the most appalling crimes. Since that first novel, Ruth Rendell has also demonstrated a keen fascination with the collision between society and the individual, particularly where circumstances drive the individual to behaviour that society Murder Being Once Done: (A Wexford Case) as somehow abnormal. Stable structures have only limited interest; what is gripping is where things start to fall apart, and that is the area where Ruth Rendell excels. Never content with mere description, she illuminates the human condition in a style that is invariably clear and compelling. Although she started with that most classic of English forms, the police procedural, she transformed it both with her psychological insights and her concern with society. She never descends to polemic, yet the picture she has painted of British society since the mid-Sixties is often far from neutral. It is clear that many things she sees make Ruth Rendell angry or despair, but her responses are always tempered through the filter of her characters; she always shows, never tells. So with Road Rage [a Wexford mystery], the complex issues around the Murder Being Once Done: (A Wexford Case) impact of development are explored and confronted, sometimes with a very human ambivalence. I think I know what Ruth Rendell herself believes, but only by my own interpretation of her characters. And I could well be wrong; she has the skill to confound us all. Her commitment to politics and the creation of a better and more equal society was recognised with her elevation to the House of Lords where she sits as a working peer with the title Baroness Rendell of Babergh. Few writers can maintain interest in series characters as Ruth Rendell has done with the Wexford novels. Although by her own admission they are no longer her favourite element of her work, the sequence of seventeen novels demonstrates her fascination with psychology and allows her to show over a period of time the effects of events and the attrition of age on her central group of characters. From the very beginning of her career, she made it plain that she would not be pigeonholed into writing one kind of novel only. Rather than follow her first Wexford directly with a second, To Fear A Painted Devil is a non-series novel with its roots in the classic English mystery. These novels of psychological suspense have the recurring theme of the long shadows Murder Being Once Done: (A Wexford Case) by the past. This variety of outlets for her talent means Ruth Rendell reduces the likelihood of becoming bored with her Kingsmarkham characters, bringing fresh interest to each Wexford chronicle. It also means she is never frustrated by the very real constraints that series writing imposes. This has allowed her to grow and develop as a writer in order to meet the fresh challenges she sets herself. Patricia Highsmith Murder Being Once Done: (A Wexford Case) often cited as the mother of the psychological suspense novel. As usual, she has paved the way for a bandwagonload of followers. Ruth Rendell is, I believe, unique among British crime writers. No-one can equal her range or her accomplishment; no-one has earned more respect from her fellow practitioners. The broad church that is current British crime writing owes much to a writer who has over Murder Being Once Done: (A Wexford Case) thirty-four year career consistently demonstrated that the genre can continually reinvent itself, moving in new directions, assuming new concerns and exploring new ways of telling stories.

Dec 11, Gary rated it liked it. This is the 7th book in the Inspector Wexford series by author Ruth Rendell. I find Ruth Rendell books a little hit and miss and unfortunately for me this was a miss. It was ok but I expect a lot more from the books I read and especially from authors of the pedigree of Ruth Rendell. Chief Inspector Wexford is on leave in London while recovering from a medical problem and staying with his nephew who is a high ranking police officer. When a young Murder Being Once Done: (A Wexford Case) is found murdered in a cemetery and the police This is the 7th book in the Inspector Wexford series by author Ruth Rendell. When a young woman is found murdered in a cemetery and the police are baffled, Wexford feels the urge to help solve the murder. I found this a disappointing read and very nearly gave up Murder Being Once Done: (A Wexford Case) it. Mar 12, Petra rated it liked it. I listened to the audio of this while jogging. It was a fun way to spend the time. Clues and red herrings are abundant; I was kept guessing. I got the impression that Inspector Wexford was a bit out of his usual element. He's ill, on an incredibly strict diet no man would be able to manage Despite these elements, this Inspector-on-sick-leave managed to make me want to increase my runs to keep listening. Ruth Rendell writes a g I listened to the audio of this while jogging. The Rendell books are darker in nature. View all 4 comments. Jul 12, Jaksen rated it really liked it. One of Rendell's better Inspector Wexford mysteries. Set in London, among the back streets, small vendors, dilapidated 'mansions' divided into smaller flats, and an old cemetery, AND a mausoleum, it doesn't get much better for a Wexford-mystery. There is no Mike Burden here; however, Wexford has to deal with a different Mike, who is Murder Being Once Done: (A Wexford Case) as arrogant and self-sure as Burden, though at least Burden respects the man he works for. The basic story is thus: Wexford, on 'vacation' in London due to healt One of Rendell's better Inspector Wexford mysteries.

  • Item More Personal, More Unique, And, Therefore More Representative of the Experience of the Book Itself
    Q&B Quill & Brush (301) 874-3200 Fax: (301)874-0824 E-mail: [email protected] Home Page: http://www.qbbooks.com A dear friend of ours, who is herself an author, once asked, “But why do these people want me to sign their books?” I didn’t have a ready answer, but have reflected on the question ever since. Why Signed Books? Reading is pure pleasure, and we tend to develop affection for the people who bring us such pleasure. Even when we discuss books for a living, or in a book club, or with our spouses or co- workers, reading is still a very personal, solo pursuit. For most collectors, a signature in a book is one way to make a mass-produced item more personal, more unique, and, therefore more representative of the experience of the book itself. Few of us have the opportunity to meet the authors we love face-to-face, but a book signed by an author is often the next best thing—it brings us that much closer to the author, proof positive that they have held it in their own hands. Of course, for others, there is a cost analysis, a running thought-process that goes something like this: “If I’m going to invest in a book, I might as well buy a first edition, and if I’m going to invest in a first edition, I might as well buy a signed copy.” In other words we want the best possible copy—if nothing else, it is at least one way to hedge the bet that the book will go up in value, or, nowadays, retain its value.

See the list. Wexford's murder suspect is about to slip away. For Wexford and his team a race against time begins and the DCI has to pull all stops to solve a murder case that left him with only one single clue - a woman's hand print. Relying on the help of his nephew and a trusted colleague, Wexford finally proves that his hunch was right. Will he and his team be able to stop a murderer and his accomplice before it's too late? But Reg Wexford doesn't realize that Shake Hands For Ever: (A Wexford Case) is in for yet another surprise. Written by Jasper P. Reg Wexford may not be the most dynamic detective of all, but when it comes to dogged patience, Wexford is the top cop. Shake hands forever displays his capabilities perfectly. It's not a whodunnit is such, as the identity of the killer is pretty obvious, and not exactly challenged. Tom Wilkinson is very good, he has some terrific scenes with George Baker. I must heap praise on Baker himself, he always seemed to play ruthless Government officials, and shady villains, his role here is rugged, but heart felt. He has some great scenes where he's holding off being seduced.

    1 This is a peer-reviewed manuscript version. The final version is published in Contemporary Women’s Writing with the following citation: Schnabel, Jennifer. "Realistic Man, Fantasy Policeman: The Longevity of Ruth Rendell’s Reginald Wexford." Contemporary Women's Writing 11.1 (2017): 102-120. https://doi.org/10.1093/cww/vpw044 Realistic Man, Fantasy Policeman: The Longevity of Ruth Rendell’s Reginald Wexford Ruth Rendell first introduced Chief Inspector Reginald Wexford in From Doon with Death in 1964; we last see him 49 years later in No Man’s Nightingale. Rendell develops the protagonist in her detective series, which includes 24 novels and five short stories, by adapting the conventions and tropes of the detective and police procedural genres set forth by her predecessors like Georges Simenon, Dorothy Sayers, and Ed McBain. However, while her detectives operate within the framework of the fictional Kingsmarkham police department, Rendell did not stifle Wexford with mundane bureaucratic constraints. Instead, she focused on presenting a realistic man with idiosyncrasies, shortcomings, and fears, as well as a character who adapts to the changing social and cultural environment alongside the reading public. Rendell has called Wexford “a fantasy policeman in a fantasy world,” using investigative methods which do not always adhere to standard police procedures (Salwak 87). As a result, forensic details are also largely missing from her narratives, such as in-depth descriptions of autopsies, lab processes, and coroner reports found in other contemporary crime novels and popular television programs. She said, “The wonder is that thousands of readers (including policemen!) seem to like it this way” (87).

    ILLITERACY: THE ULTIMATE CRIME Ana de Brito Politecnico do Porto, Portugal The iss ue of reading ha s a privileged positi on in Ruth's Rendell's novels. In several, the uses of reading and its effects are disc ussed in some detail. But so are the uses of not reading and the non-read ers. The non-readers in Rendell's novels also have a special position . The murderer in The Hou se of Stairs is a non-reader but even so she is influenced by w hat other peopl e read. Non-readers often share the view that reading is an tisocial or that it is difficult to und er stand th e fascination that book s, those "small, flattish boxes"l have for their read ers. But Burd en is the most notoriou s non -reader w ho co mes to mind. His evolu tio n is ske tched throughout the Inspector Wexford mysteries. In From Doom with Death (1964) he thinks that it is not healthy to read, but Wexford lends him The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse for his bedtime reading, and the effects on his turn of phrase are immediate: 'I suppose the others could have been just-well , playthings as it we re, and Mrs. P. a life-long love.' 'Christ!', Wexford roared . 'I should never have let you read that book. Playthings, life-long love! You make me puke' (p. 125).
