Murder Being Once Done by Ruth Rendell
4.0
Like Inspector Wexford, initially I was completely wrong about the solution to this mystery. Even after he figured it out, however, I was still a couple of twists and turns behind. And yet, I felt that Rendell had played fair with me, and all the clues were there if I had put them together differently. That's the definition of a well-plotted mystery.
It's also a typical Rendell in that there is no evil mastermind, no unmotivated villain, only people acting in character (and often from good motives) who end up doing terrible things.
