Even a second-division Wexford novel is something to be cherished." - Andrew Taylor, The Spectator But the novel is sharp, astringent and humane. " The Vault is a little too discursive to be Rendell at her very best, and Wexford sometimes seems to be too good to be true."Three skeletons have turned up in the long-forgotten coal cellar of Orcadia Cottage, along with a fresher corpse that adds an extra frisson of horror to the fiendish plot (.) Wexford hasn't lost his touch, but he must watch his step around the real cops, who find his methods rather "eccentric."" - Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review."This mystery is also an enormously enjoyable panorama of London and a hymn of love to its Georgian houses, which Rendell has followed through their varied fortunes from mansions to slums and back again to become the multi-million properties of the rich." - Jane Jakeman, The Independent.

The act of cross-pollination proves most fruitful and triumphantly demonstrates that a vault, in addition to being an underground chamber, can also be a leap of imagination." - Mark Sanderson, Evening Standard "No one hides the clues better than her no one else creates such a pervasive atmosphere of almost comic disgust and dread.The Vault is a sequel to (the non-Wexford novel) A Sight for Sore Eyesī : ambles a bit much, but some sharp writing.General information | review summaries | our review | links | about the author Trying to meet all your book preview and review needs.
