A year ago, two lovely new editions of classic Ruth Rendell books were released by her publisher. Start of new things, with hopefully more to follow? No, one was almost impossible to source, probably sunk without trace, so a perfect reason for absolutely zero further reissues from a 75-book backlist

A (very early) Book Review! Quite Ugly One Evening by the rather wonderful @brookmyre.bsky.social is out in May and those lovely folk at @littlebrown.bsky.social @netgalley.bsky.social sent me an advance copy. Never too early to pre-order!
