The Ruth Rendell mysteries. Set 3 Cover Image DVD DVD

The Ruth Rendell mysteries. Set 3

Summary: "In five stories of suspense, award-winning writer Ruth Rendell explores obsession in various forms - all of them with criminal consequences. These tales' psychological depth and surprising twists show that, as a spinner of mysteries, Rendell remains peerless. Going Wrong" As wild teenagers, Guy (James Callis) and Leonora (Josephine Butler) pledged perpetual love. Now, Guy intends to hold her to that promise - one way or another. Harm Done: With the release of a convicted pedophile riling up a working-class neighborhood, Inspector Wexford (George Baker) investigates the apparent abductions of a wealthy couple's toddler and several teenage girls. The Fallen Curtain: Teenager Richard Clayton (Ben Brazier) remains haunted by a few unaccounted-for hours when he went missing as a boy. The Lake Of Darkness: Martin Urban (Jerome Flynn) can't believe his luck: winning the lottery and then finding the beautiful, mysterious Francesca (Sadie Frost). But Luck eventually takes a turn. You Can't Be Too Careful: A security-obsessed woman (Serena Evans) takes on a new flatmate (Jane Hazlegrove) who doesn't share her safety concerns."--Container.
