A New Lease Of Death
A New Lease Of Death: (A Wexford Case) | Ruth Rendell
7 posts | 6 read | 7 to read
The second book to feature the classic crime-solving detective, Chief Inspector Wexford. Some cases are impossible to bury. It's impossible to forget the violent bludgeoning to death of an elderly lady in her home. Even more so when it's your first murder case. Wexford believed he'd solved Mrs Primero's murder fifteen years ago. It was no real mystery. Everyone knew Painter, her odd-job man, had done it. There had never been any doubt in anyone's mind. Until now... Henry Archery's son is engaged to Painter's daughter. Only Archery can't let the past remain buried. He wants to prove Wexford wrong, and in probing into the lives of the witnesses questioned all those years ago, he stirs up more than old ghosts.

I thoroughly enjoyed my second Wexford Mystery. Very much of the time ( 1960‘s) .. loved the details of this time I remember so well. Loved the characters and writing.
I have the third Wexford securely waiting on my kindle.

AmyG I love Ruth Rendell. She is wonderful! 3y
Andrew65 @Slajaunie 😔 Wonder if it‘s just in the U.K. As a subscriber when logged in it is in the Plus Catalogue which can then listen or download without any charge. 3y
Slajaunie Maybe so. 3y

I like this series, and I liked this book (the second), but the mystery itself didn‘t grab me. The main characters are good though, and I‘ll definitely continue on. Another book crossed off my #BookSpinBingo card and the second book I read for #AwesomeAugust. I‘m in for #20in4! @Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks

The pic is of me still enjoying a cup of coffee on this Saturday. The Colombian that @BookBosomed1 gifted me! Ohhhhh it‘s soooooo good!

Andrew65 Great 👏👏👏 3y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3y
BookBosomed1 I‘m so glad you like the coffee! 3y
