980 5eb6e92f-7ab2-47cf-a081-2c62a5d1da45 Some Lie and Some Die Ruth Rendell calibre (2.83.0) [https://calibre-ebook.com] 1999-03-29T22:00:00+00:00 <div>A mutilated body found at a rock festival. In spite of dire predictions, the rock festival in Kingsmarkham seemed to be going off without a hitch, until the hideously disfigured body is discovered in a nearby quarry. And soon Wexford is investigating the links between a local girl gone bad and a charismatic singer who inspires an unwholesome devotion in his followers. Some Lie and Some Die is a devilishly absorbing novel, in which Wexford's deductive powers come up against the aloof arrogance of pop stardom. With her Inspector Wexford novels, Ruth Rendell, winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award, has added layers of depth, realism and unease to the classic English mystery. For the canny, tireless, and unflappable policeman is an unblinking observer of human nature, whose study has taught him that under certain circumstances the most unlikely people are capable of the most appalling crimes.<h3>From Library Journal</h3>"Suspenseful to the last word," said LJ's reviewer of Rendell's 1973 mystery, which tells of murder at a rock festival held on the grounds of an English estate. LJ's reviewer further gushed that the solution to the crime "is a devastating surprise." This is the only paperback edition available.
