    Sir Manuel Camargue, yesterday one of the most celebrated musicians of his time, today floats face down in the lake near his sprawling English country house. The consensus is accidental death -- but Inspector Wexford knows the stench of murder most foul when he smells it. Particularly in the company of two suspects -- one, the victim's fiancee, who is too young to be true, the other his daughter who may be no kin and even less kind . . .
    Ruth Rendell, Baroness Rendell of Babergh, CBE, was the author of many thrillers and murder mysteries. She was the winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award and also the recipient of three Edgars from the Mystery Writers of America and four Gold Daggers from Great Britain’s Crime Writers Association. In 1997, she was named a life peer in the House of Lords. Rendell also wrote mysteries under the name of Barbara Vine, of which A Dark-Adapted Eye is the most famous. She died in 2015.
