reading the grandfather of detective fiction, Sherlock
Holmes. As Viking publisher issues a new edition of sixty

working peer to talk to The Interview Online about why Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, 150 years after his birth continues to please. She
also talks about the differences between Holmes and Rendell's
famous sleuth Chief Inspector Reginald Wexford.

or not she will kill him off as well as the opening line of her
classic book A Judgement in Stone (1977) and how
an overheard conversation at a London Station inspired the famous
opening sentence.

morning's writing, she is not in the least worried whether or not
she has finished the sentence.
