The Rottweiler by Ruth Rendell

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


It took me weeks to read this, not a good sign. Ruth Rendell writes a lot of books and some are superb and some are just...not. This was one of the 'nots' in my opinion. The characterisation was good, and it helped that the book was set in the very area of London I once lived, but the plot, and the inevitable and predictable conclusion made it a bit of a yawn.

It didn't help that I didn't like any of the characters, except perhaps Beccy, who was around my age but who's life was slowly being eroded by gin and her needed learning disabled grown nephew. If it wasn't for her I'd have probably abandoned the book unread.
