A compelling depiction of sex, lies and secrets within an apparently respectable family ...
Ruth Barbara Rendell, Baroness Rendell of Babergh, CBE (née
Grasemann; born 17 February 1930), is an English author of
thrillers and psychological murder mysteries.
Rendell's best-known creation, Chief Inspector Wexford, is the hero
of many popular police stories, some of them successfully adapted
for TV. But Rendell has also generated a separate brand of
crime-fiction that explores deeply into the psychological
background of criminals and their victims, many of them mentally
afflicted or otherwise socially isolated. This theme is developed
further in a third series of novels, written under her pseudonym
Barbara Vine. Siân Thomas is a Welsh actress who trained at the
Central School of Speech and Drama. She has appeared on stage, on
TV and in films such as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
in which she played Amelia Bones. She was part of the cast of the
musical Spring Awakening in London until May 2009 (when the show
closed), playing the 'Adult Women'. In 2002 she appeared in
London's West End theatre production Up for Grabs with Madonna. She
has a particularly effective voice for reading modern poetry, which
is often deployed on the BBC Radio 3 program Words and Music.

vine.'
*The Independent*

*Literary Review*
