Another Inspector Wexler mystery, and as always, Rendell is a masterful writer, with
no equal, aside from the Golden Age writers of the 30s-50s. As always, she depicts characters with a sharp eye, and writes plots that are a challenge to the reader. There's air of melancholy that runs through this story, which involves teen-age girls, one of whom is slow. Rendell refers to "The Francise Affair" by another classic mystery writer, Josephine Tey, early in the book, to let us know she isn't using the same plot, as the premise of the story at the start echoes Tey's. I read Tey's book not long ago, so enjoyed the reference.
