A Sleeping Life
Rhoda Comfrey's death seemed unremarkable; the real mystery was her life.<P>In A Sleeping Life, master mystery writer Ruth Rendell unveils an elaborate web of lies and deception painstakingly maintained by a troubled soul.

And when a second Grenville West comes to light, Wexford faces a dizzying array of possible scenarios — and suspects — behind the Comfrey murder.
