  1. How was that Ruth Rendell book. I read one of hers last years. Interesting challenge. Maybe I'll do it next year.

  2. Kristen--
    Haven't actually read that one yet - it's one I'm thinking of for the challenge. But I've read several of her other Inspector Wexford novels, and really enjoyed them. They're not quite as dark as her other suspense novels. "From Doon with Death" is the first Inspector Wexford, so I thought I should go back and see where it all started.

    Yes, the RIP challenges are a lot of fun. I love spooky stories and whodunits, so they're perfect for me.
