Kissing the Gunner's Daughtr by Ruth Rendell
Reader Reviews My Introduction To Reginald Wexford, August 27, 2003 Reviewer: A reader from Wheat Ridge, Colorado I read this book in college for a Detective Fiction course and I loved it. I liked this book so much I went on to read about half a dozen other novels that Ruth Rendell has written about Reginald Wexford. This book isn't so much a mysterious whodunnit as it is about the private life of the detective, Reginald Wexford. It is pretty easy to figure out who commited the murders at the beginning of the book, but Wexford's reasoning is clouded somewhat by his personal life and his relationship with his younger daughter Sheila. If you aren't interested in reading a novel that is mostly social commentary, as most of the Wexford novels are, and are more into a murder mysteries that are hard to figure out, then this may not be the novel for you. If you are interested in reading about social trends that are current, and are written in an interesting fashion, I strongly recommmend this book.
