End in Tears ReviewRuth Rendell's "End in Tears" is her latest Chief Inspector Wexford novel. This time, Wexford is seeking the murderer of eighteen-year-old Amber Marshalson, who was bludgeoned to death on her way home from a late night out with friends. Along with Detective Sergeant Hannah Goldsmith and the rest of his team, Wexford interviews Amber's friends and family, and tries to find witnesses who may have spotted the attacker. When yet another young woman is found dead, the investigation quickly heats up.
This is a complex case, with many twists and turns that keep the detectives off balance. They find evidence that Amber and her friend Meg were engaged in a cruel money-making scam, but although the police suspect that the girls were dealing drugs, there are no facts to support this theory. Before the case is solved, Rendell explores the themes of family dysfunction, greed, racism, parenting, and aging with her usual expertise. The characters are well delineated and, as always, Rendell captures the English countryside perfectly with her superb descriptive writing.
There is also an entertaining subplot involving Detective Goldsmith's infatuation with Detective Constable Baljinder Bhattacharya. Although Hannah has no qualms about having casual physical encounters with men, Bal insists that he wants to be in a meaningful relationship before he becomes intimate with a woman. Hannah, who is an ardent feminist, cannot believe her ears and she is far from pleased by her colleague's apparent prudishness.
As the book passes the midway point, Rendell loses her way. She overcomplicates matters, introducing many extraneous characters and additional subplots that make the story a chore to follow. The solution to the crimes is completely out of left field, and if I didn't see Rendell's name on the cover, I would have difficulty believing that one of the great writers of crime fiction concocted such an absurd and unrealistic conclusion. This is too bad, since I adore Wexford, who is a kind, gentle, compassionate, and very intelligent man. Unfortunately, this time around, Rendell's fans will have to be to be satisfied with the well-written first half of "End in Tears."End in Tears Overview
