Ruth Rendell
No one can equal Ruth Rendell’s range or accomplishment
Val McDermidCurrent British crime writing owes much to a writer who consistently showed that the genre can continually reinvent itself…
Ruth Rendell was deservedly the most decorated of British crime writers. Among her many distinctions were a clutch of Daggers (four gold, one silver and the diamond for a lifetime of achievement) and two Edgars from the Mystery Writers of America who also gave her their Grandmaster Award. She was also garlanded with the Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence.
