*******************************************************************************************
There are only two things in life that interest Stanley: solving crossword puzzles, and getting his hands on his mother-in-law's money.
For twenty years, nearly all his adult life, the puzzles have been his only pleasure; his mother-in-law's money his only dream. And in all those years it has never once occurred to Stanley that she would try to outsmart him and the money might never be his. Until now.
It is only now that Stanley, so clever at misleading double-meanings and devious clues, decides to construct a puzzle of his own - and so give death a helping hand.

Delightful
I was delighted to stumble across a book by Ruth Rendell that I hadn’t read. She is in my top five authors. I haven’t ever read one of her books and felt disappointed and this was no exception. A study of lives and relationships through which the crime is weaved. Fabulous.
