Heartstones by Ruth Rendell
4.0
3.75 stars
A good novella of about seventy pages. Has a great Gothic and a haunting atmosphere. Wonderful story, narrated by a teenage girl, with a difference! Not precisely a crime mystery, but only a reader would know. :)
Having read two of her short story collections, a standalone novel and now this book, I am convinced that Ruth Rendell is an amazing writer (not sure of her Inspector Wexford stories though, never read any of those yet). Her characters are weird, and eccentric, many times with some or the other sort of mental issues or distorted feelings and thoughts. Its stuff of what I like. :)
This one is recommended.
