provides great fare in “Kissing the Gunner's Daughter.” Three bodies are discovered on a
country estate and one survivor lives to report the crime to the police. It is a bloody and
sordid mess and it takes Wexford and his right hand assistant Mike Burden and all their
resources to figure this one out. Somehow, things just don't add up with this crime and

of the theories. By the time this crime is all wrapped up, Rendell has given us additional
insight into her central characters, and she has provided us with an outstanding mystery.
