Description:
On Valentine's day, four members of the Coverdale family -- George, Jacqueline, Melinda, and Giles -- were murdered in the space of 15 minutes. Their housekeeper, Eunice Parchman, shot them, one by one, in the blue light of a televised performance of Don Giovanni. When Detective Chief Superintendent William Vetch arrests Miss Parchman two weeks later, he discovers a second tragedy: the key to the St. Valentine's Day massacre, a private humiliation Eunice Parchman has guarded all her life.
Expand description
Now available through Vintage Books for the first time, "A Judgement In Stone" is among Ruth Rendell's finest psychological thrillers. Eunice Parchman, a soul motivated entirely by shame and secrecy, believed herself the victim of blackmail by the Coverdales. By watching her employer and his family, she sought some household leverage of her own for a time. But the Coverdales' well-meaning but misguided manners, combined with Eunice's introduction to a town fanatic, ignited a new sense of rage and righteousness -- with deadly results. A brilliant rendering of character, motive, and the heady discovery of truth, "A Judgement In Stone" is Ruth Rendell at her spine-tingling best.
