Dark-Adapted Eye

I got 36

The tagged book is my #1 favorite of the list. I read this book and became a huge Ruth Rendell fan (she also writes as Barbara Vine). I spent one summer reading every book of hers I could get my hands on! My other favorites were The Secret History and of course….whatever Stephen King book that was.

LeahBergen I love Rendell (and Vine) and spent a few years (ages ago now) reading all of them, too! 4mo

AmyG @LeahBergen I know so few who have read her books. They don‘t know what they are missing! 4mo

dabbe I've never read Rendell/Vine ... now on the TBR! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🖤🎃🖤 4mo

AmyG @dabbe You love mysteries, right? She is the QUEEN. Ok wait…I forgot about Agatha Christie. So….she is the PRINCESS! Or the Other Other QUEEN! (edited) 4mo

dabbe @AmyG How did I not know this? #oytotheultimatevey! 😂 4mo

erzascarletbookgasm Have a good week, Cathy!❤️ 3y

Cathythoughts @erzascarletbookgasm 👍🏻❤️ 3y

AmyG My first Rendell. I loved it! Enjoy. 3y

Cathythoughts @AmyG I‘m loving A Dark Adapted Eye… I‘m taking notes , it‘s a complicated start. She‘s a good writer. 3y

AmyG I am so happy to see watch you read these books. I never knew anyone who loved Rendell. I never had anyone to discuss her with. 3y

Cathythoughts @AmyG The strange thing is that even though I‘ve never read her before , there‘s a strong feeling of familiarity 🤷🏼‍♀️😁 3y

AmyG I so get it. 3y

Centique I discovered her Barbara Vine books a couple of years ago and am smitten with her. 😍 Haven‘t tried the ones she‘s written under Rendell yet @AmyG I do like more of a psychological mystery than a heart thumping thriller and the Vines have been great. 3y

AmyG The non-Wexford books I think you‘d enjoy @Centique. 3y

Centique @AmyG thank you I will try them ☺️ 3y

Cathythoughts @Centique I‘m really enjoying her. I‘m on my second book now , delighted to have found her. The first one I read was brilliant

A Judgement in Stone

A Dark-Adapted Eye | Ruth Rendell

so-so

Well, I have to say that this book was full of sordid details and family secrets. The problem is that it moved very slowly and I had a very hard time concentrating on it. I was getting a bit confused because there were so many characters to keep track of. I know that Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine is a well known and loved author but, this being my first book by her, I have to admit I wasn't really impressed. To each his own.

Sweettartlaura READ THIS BOOK! This turned me into a Ruth Rendell fan for life! If you like this, you'll have almost 70 more Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine books to lose yourself in - I'm soooooo jealous when people get to discover her for the first time 😍 9y

KrisConstantReader @Sweettartlaura wow! Now I'm excited about it. I already bought it; I'm definitely going to be reading it! 9y
