The Best Man to Die by Ruth Rendell

4.0

This is the Wexford I remember! He loves his younger daughter Sheila the actor, and he quotes Shakespeare. And, as he says, he knows human nature. Burden moves into the background as the moralistic sidekick, and Wexford takes center stage as the detective who works out the solution based on evidence, intuition, and psychology. There are two cases to solve. Wexford begins with the murder of a "best man" for a wedding that is about to take place. A second case crops up related to the deaths of two people in an auto accident.
