A review by lazydream
The Babes in the Wood, by Ruth Rendell

4.0

3 or 4?? 3 or 4?? A couple more times of the same thought and decided on 4... the book was very interesting. I took too long to finish this. Not the books fault... I was having a readers block, if such thing exists. Anyways it’s suspense/crime book... it’s quite realistic without a macho hero or overly sarcastic one who tend to be “heroic”. It’s a investigation which took up whole book without any surprises or twists. Probably that’s why I liked it.

Now, if only they haven’t end the book with lot of guess work and probabilities and maybe’s it would have been lot better. If the narration of what actually happened was on flight rather than later I think the book would have been top notch. Even though the ending was not satisfactory I could not give it less stars as the story development and investigation or writing was pretty impressive.
