The Monster in the Box

How is it possible that I’ve never read a Rendell book? She’s awfully prolific and it’s certainly the type of book I’d have found myself considering from the shelves.
The Monster in the Box was pretty good. I liked Inspector Wexford. I liked his wife and I liked his friends. I liked the bad guy though it was a very unsatisfying “ending” to that bad guy. Very unsatisfying. Do all of Rendell’s bad guys come to such an unsatisfying demise? I’ll have to check out another one and find out.

Just might want to avoid Babes in the Wood…..our mystery group just gave it 13 thumbs down, and one “it was okay.”
Not too long ago I found myself wondering why I’d not read a Rendell book either. Then I researched her a little and decided she’s not my type of author.
