Hello everyone,
I am a library school student who is taking a
class on Reader's Advisory. Our professor has been
kind enough to introduce us to this wonderful tool. I
have been lurking around for the past month and now I
would like to pick your brains.
If someone had read several of Ruth Rendell's
novels and enjoyed them, what other authors would you
recommend that she read. She enjoyed her
psychological thrillers more than the novels from her
Inspector Wexford Series especially A Sight for Sore
Eyes. She also liked the fact that she really came to
understand the characters.

Thank you for help!

Hello everyone,

I am a graduate student who is taking a class on
Reader's Advisory. Our professor has been kind enough
to introduce to Fiction-L. I have been lurking around
wonderful tool for the past month or so. I would now
like to pick your brains.

What other author would you recommend to a patron who
enjoys reading Ruth Rendell? She enjoys her
psychological thrillers more than her Inspector
Wexford series. She also enjoys a mystery with well
developed characters.

Thank you for your help!

I like Anne Perry's William Monk series. The series takes place in
Victorian England and usually has excellent suspense elements, well-rounded
characters and a great sense of place, time and culture.

Thanks,

How about Frances Fyfield and Minette Walters?

A great choice for fans of psychological mysteries is Minette Walters.

How about Jane Adams - Fade to Grey, Bird, and Cast the First Stone.

My suggestion for a new writing with Ruth Rendell-like non-Wexford
psychological suspense would be J. Wallis Martin, author of A LIKENESS IN
STONE and THE BIRD-YARD. I think she is the equal of Rendell and Minette
Walters.
Best, GWN
