Some Lie and Some Die by Ruth Rendell

3.0

A good solid murder mystery/crime procedural with Rendell's characteristic emphasis on the psychology of the participants than the details of the crime itself. In fact, I felt she cut some corners here on the plot, because the crime was almost tangential to the story she really wanted to tell and the characters she wanted to explore. At one point, she practically breaks the fourth wall by having Wexford say "I am starting to feel like we are losing sight of [the victim], that she's fading into the background."
