Related: About this forumRuth Rendell/Barbara Vine fans?
I love British psychological suspense novels. I've read all of Rendell's books, and Minette Walters. Always on the lookout for new authors. Mo Hayder is another one, but too graphic sometimes for me...

She portrays so well Guy's descent into madness.

but by no means all of them.
I've enjoyed the ones I've read.

IMO. I'm going to watch the Ruth Rendell mysteries thru Netflix now too. I've never seen any of her stories adapted to film.
