Shake Hands Forever
by Ruth Rendell
I don't think that I've ever read anything by Rendell before, and I've certainly never read an Inspector Wexford novel. I've certainly heard of him as a significant character, but nothing that gave me any expectations. Lovely read, nicely paced. Unfortunately, I've either read the plot somewhere before, or it has been made into moving pictures and I've seen it, or I've now read enough of the genre to pick what is going on. About halfway through I had it worked out, as it was just far-fetched enough to explain everything that I could pick up. Still had an 'ah-hah' moment in the last couple of chapters, when I worked out what the apparently unrelated plot line had to do with everything, felt very smug when I turned out to be right (although there was a bit of a red-herring that nearly turned me away from my conclusion late in the piece). I'm certainly going to make an effort to read more of her stories.
