Not in the Flesh

“Ghoulish fun…. The height of her malevolent powers. Rendell can do whatever she likes and still get away with it.” —The New York Times“Vivid and witty. Wexford is his usual smart, compassionate self as he unravels a web of lies and deception larger than any of the characters realize.” —Los Angeles Times“To call Ruth Rendell prolific is akin to calling the Grand Canyon a slight dip in the landscape. . . . Not in the Flesh is the work of a writer who continues to command respect and satisfy her legion of writers.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch“The unflappable detective still hasn’t worn out his welcome…. A fine example of Rendell’s sharp writing, intelligence, and humanity.”—The Christian Science Monitor“In the best whodunit tradition, Rendell advances her plot through surprises…so shocking they dash all calculations.”—The New York Times Book Review
