Synopsis
A young girl is murdered in a cemetery. And Wexford's doctor has prescribed no alcohol, no rich food and, above all, no police work. 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. A compelling story of mysterious identity and untimely death, Murder Being Once Done is Rendell at her most sublime. 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. For the canny, tireless, and unflappable policeman is an unblinking observer of human nature, whose study has taught him that under certain circumstances the most unlikely people are capable of the most appalling crimes., A young girl is murdered in a cemetery.

    I had a positive experience with this seller. I did receive an incorrect item in my package, but when I reached out to the seller about the problem, they responded in a timely manner and resolved the issue. Items were packaged in a bag but arrived in good condition as described. I am very happy with the condition of the books I received. Great value. I have already placed additional orders with this seller. Thank you!

    Had issues with product, but seller was exceedingly graceful about the situation. The shipping speed & packaging was excellent. The value of product was expected for price, but description wasn’t quite accurate. With swift communication, the seller maneuvered the conversation in a very controlled way. Very professional! In all honesty, I will have no problem buying again from this seller. Thank you, SecondSalecom! I pray you continue to improve on your already good business practices.

    I must say from the very beginning of this transaction that everything went smooth. The seller gave me a good quality product for a great price that was brand new and appeared to be better than what was pictured. I plan on purchasing more products in the near future from this seller. The product was shipped and packaged with care and love. Magnificent communication and all of what I said makes this seller a great asset to the eBay community as well as the marketplace. This is why I came back.

  • A disappointment

    I was a Ruth Rendell fan many years ago but this book had too much profanity and not enough plot.
