Happy birthday to the lady.
This brings back memories. It's been many years since I read one of her books.
I've enjoyed her work over the years. I've gone on to genres other than mystery for pleasure reading. Rendell's novels are good psychology.
I think I have read more books by Rendell than any other author--of course it was before my one book per author rule.
