HIGH PRAISE FOR
RUTH RENDELL AND
ROAD RAGE

“Rendell writes with such elegance and restraint, with such a literate voice and an insightful mind, she transcends the mystery genre and achieves something almost sublime.”

—Los Angeles Times

“ABSORBING AND TIMELY … An adroit plotter, Rendell also is an insightful social commentator who poses provocative moral questions within the context of an entertaining story.”

—Orlando Sentinel

“RENDELL GIVES LUMINOUS INSIGHTS INTO THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE IN-BETWEEN OF HUMAN NATURE.”

—St. Petersburg Times

“HAUNTING.”

—Boston Herald

“PROBING AND AMBITIOUS … a masterful tale of eco-terrorism that chills Chief Inspector Wexford as none of his earlier cases have.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“ABSORBING … The latest Inspector Wexford tale from the redoubtable Rendell has a spectacularly unexpected twist. It is as human drama rather than conventional mystery that Rendell’s books usually excel anyway, and this is no exception.”

—Publishers Weekly

“RENDELL CREATES VERY REAL CHARACTERS AND WEXFORD IS ONE OF HER BEST … a methodical, extensive search moves the book along to a very surprising ending … a very pleasing mystery.”

—San Francisco Examiner

“RENDELL IS ONE OF THE TOP BRITISH PROS, her prose and plot so tightly wrapped, readers who like to solve the mystery before the author reveals it will want to ponder every detail, as if working a crossword puzzle.”

—Rocky Mountain News

“Road Rage has the satisfying qualities of the traditional British mystery—an intriguing puzzle, a stalwart and intelligent detective, and a satisfying ending. But it adds considerable depth to the tradition as well. Wexford is a complex and interesting character in his own right, and the issues which lead to the crimes he grapples with are compelling.”

—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
