A Spot of Folly: Ten and a Quarter New Tales of Murder and Mayhem by Ruth Rendell
5.0
Previously, I read Asta’s Book by Barbara Vine, which is a pseudonym used by Ruth Rendell. Asta’s Book was a mystery shrouded in family secrets, with rich and full characters. The plot, with multiple storylines and timespans, was masterfully handled.
This book is even better! It is subtitled Ten and a Quarter New Tales of Murder and Mayhem and each story is suspenseful, with some being downright spine-tingling. There are tales of the supernatural, psychological suspense and outright doom. She gets right to the point with the stories, starting with the first sentence, and as the stories are short, each word serves a purpose.
This was a thrilling read, and I’m looking forward to reading more of her work.
