When I started reading Ruth Rendell novels, I got on the internet to see where Kingsmarkham was located. I couldn't find it, so I called my cousin, who has...

Fellow members, the sweet anticipation begins!!! I just saw a listing on Ebay for an uncorrected proof copy of THE ROTTWEILER, Rendell's next novel of...
Thaks for posting this, Philip. Even the title sounds good. I can hardly wait! Wish I could pick it up at the bookstore tomorrow. Vickie Fellow members, the...
I just saw another interesting RR-related item on ebay - an autographed program from the stage adaption of THE HOUSE OF STAIRS which played in South London for...
Hi all, Just finished "Anna's Book" by Barbara Vine, and would like other readers' opinions regarding the ending. Whenever I read a novel I always keep a list...
ANNA'S BOOK (titled ASTA'S BOOK in the U.K) is my favorite Rendell work under either name. I've read it through six times, and often pick it up to read a few...
It seems to me that anyone who reads the Vine books (and some of the more recent Rendells) expecting a conventional "mystery" in which all motivations are...
--Well, I still feel that Barbara Vine has lessened my enjoyment of her great novel, (just a wee bit), by intentionally making it impossible to figure out....
I really liked the House of Stairs. It's one of my favorites. I don't really remember the details of Anna's Book, but it wasn't one of my real favorites. I...
I did enjoy reading Anna's Book. It's just that there were others that personally had more meaning for me, or spoke to me more. My favorites are A Fatal...
It's kind of funny - while I know that I enjoyed ANNA'S/ASTA'S BOOK the first time I read it, I don't think I was actually blown away by it until I read it a...

Just wanted to let everyone know that if I don't answer e-mails, phone calls, or doorbells for a few days it's not because I'm being anti-social - it's because...

Hi!! I'm again. I have to do a work about that book and I need that somebody answers that questions due to my teacher has told me that waht I've written isn't...
Well folks, I finished THE ROTTWEILER yesterday evening. It's kind of like A DEMON IN MY VIEW meets KEYS TO THE STREET - psychological suspense, atmosphere,...
I've been slogging away at some of Walter's books. They keep me interested enough to keep reading but I don't find them particularly entertaining. Am...
Though I'd heard negative comments, I just finished Acid Row, after abandoning The Shape of Snakes. Acid Row was tedious but did have one moment of brilliance,...
Hi all, Was wondering about Sara Paretsky as an alternative to Ruth Rendell. I was recently given a copy of GUARDIAN ANGEL, but haven't started it. Haven't...
hmmm...personally, I LOVED The Rottweiler. (im another lucky soul who managed to get a copy...I've not posted here before either, so im starting at the deep...
hmmm...i'm almost entirely perplex about the reaction that "The Shape of Snakes" recieved from some quarters, as it is a brilliant book. I've never read...
