Years ago, Ismay and her mother came home to find her stepfather Guy dead in his bath, and her 13-year-old sister Heather soaking wet. The police ruled it an accident, though Ismay has long harbored suspicions, and the family dealt with the episode by walling up the bathroom and any discussion of what happened. But now that Heather has a man she hopes to marry, and Ismay a love of her own, she wonders if she should confess her suspicions—and if her sister may kill again. "Forty years after her first book, Ruth Rendell is still producing work that puts her head and shoulders above most other writers," proclaimed London's Sunday Telegraph of the multiple Gold Dagger and Edgar Award–winning grandmaster. "[She is] one of the marvels of crime fiction." "Rendell is in absolute top form here. The Water's Lovely is as suspenseful as any crime novel she has written, but it also has the generous humanity of her best Inspector Wexford cases.... Rendell provides the reader with many pleasures: her intelligence and humanity, her sculpted sentences, her jokeless wit.... What a sneaky mind the woman has."—Washington Post Book World
