With her Inspector Wexford novels, Ruth Rendell, winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award, has added layers of depth, realism and unease to the classic English mystery.
A compelling story of mysterious identity and untimely death, Murder Being Once Done is Rendell at her most sublime.
When a young girl\'s body is found in a London cemetery and the local police, under the command of Wexford\'s nephew, are baffled, Wexford decides to brave his doctor\'s wrath and the condescension of the London police by doing a little investigating of his own.
And Wexford\'s doctor has prescribed no alcohol, no rich food and, above all, no police work.
