Wolf to the Slaughter: An Inspector Wexford Mystery - Ruth Rendell

Descriere

n[Rendell is] undoubtedly one of the best writers of English mysteries and chiller-killer plots.--Los Angeles Times nIt was better than a hotel, this anonymous room on a secluded side street of a small country town. No register to sign, no questions asked, and for five bucks a man could have three hours of undisturbed, illicit lovemaking. n nThen one evening a man with a knife turned the love nest into a death chamber. The carpet was soaked with blood -- but where was the corpse? n nMeanwhile, a beautiful, promiscuous woman is missing--along with the bundle of cash she'd had in her pocket. The truth behind it all will keep even veteran mystery fans guessing through the very last page. n nPraise for Wolf to the Slaughter n nThe best mystery writer anywhere in the English-speaking world.--The Boston Globe n nYou cannot afford to miss Ruth Rendell.--The New York Times Book Review n nFor readers who have almost given up on mysteries . . . Rendell may be just the woman to get them started again.--Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazinen
