To Fear A Painted Devil by Ruth Rendell

4.0

I was genuinely surprised that Ruth Rendell was really quite amusing in her novels. I found 'To Fear a Painted Devil' most enjoyable. A group of friends meet for a party at a country house, but when one dies of what is assumed to be a wasp sting, the fingers start pointing in all directions.
I loved the twist at the end. I never thought I would read Ruth Rendell as someone who has similar traits as Agatha Christie when plotting her murders, but in this stoy I found that to be the case. I loved all the characters as well, especially the ones having secret affairs with each other...
