Nov 16, 2010 Main Library, Conference Room
On Valentine’s Day, four members of the Coverdale family – George, Jacqueline, Melinda and Giles – were murdered in the space of fifteen minutes. This novel, called a “classic” by the London Times, opens with one of the most famous first lines in crime fiction. In 1991 Rendell received the CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger Lifetime Achievement Award.
