Ruth Rendell, 85, called Britain's 'queen of crime'
2015
Overview
[Ruth Rendell]'s first novel, \"From Doon With Death\" (1964), introduced [Reginald Wexford], the stoic, scholarly detective from the fictional Kingsmarkham, a Sussex town with an exceptionally high murder rate. \"I don't get sick of him because he's me,\" she told Britain's Guardian newspaper in 2013. \"He doesn't look like me, of course, but the way he thinks and his principles and his ideas and what he likes doing, that's me.\" A woman of remarkable self-discipline, Rendell exercised for 30 minutes each morning before sitting down to write at 8:30.In 1997, Rendell was named a baroness, which gave her a seat in the House of Lords. She was outspokenly liberal and contributed 100,000 pounds (about $150,000) a year to charities.
