- Biografía breve
- Ruth Barbara Rendell, née Grasemann, was the only child of two schoolteachers. She got her first job as a reporter for a South Woodford newspaper and married her boss, editor Don Rendell, at age 20. The couple had one son. She published her first novel, From Doon with Death, in 1964. Ms. Rendell was a prolific writer of police procedurals and psychological suspense/crime novels exploring such themes as romantic obsession, family secrets, miscommunication, and the impact of chance and coincidence. After years of writing such critically acclaimed works and receiving many awards, in 1986 she created the pseudonym Barbara Vine. The Barbara Vine novels are more oblique and have a recurring theme of consequences from events that occurred in the past. She was made a life peer as Baroness Rendell of Babergh in 1997.

Wexford nº 22, que he leído en francés porque los tres últimos Wexford no están traducidos al español.
Este parte de una base curiosa, un supuesto crimen perfecto que Wexford nunca pudo demostrar en su juventud, que vuelve en su vejez. Este presupuesto es pretexto para conocer a Wexford joven y leer historias de su vida cuando entró en la policía y todavía no estaba casado con Dora. Esta parte está bien, pero el pretexto está bastante traído por los pelos y no tiene mucho sentido.
Se lee a gusto porque siempre está bien saber cosas de un personaje que nos atrae, y las que se cuentan son significativas e interesantes, pero el tema del asesino en serie no tiene ni pies ni cabeza. Lo de siempre, bien está que nos hagan suspender la incredulidad, yo siempre estoy abierta, pero las cosas tienen un límite.
Ya solo me quedan dos Wexford.… (más)
