The Girl Next Door by Ruth RendellMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
This seemed like it was going to be a mystery about two hands found in a box, whose are they, what happened? But no. The murder is described on the first chapter. So it is really about a group of kids who used to play in the tunnels where the hands were found, and are now seventy plus reuniting to answer the detectives questions. From their reunion there results love, divorce, new adventures, emotional closures. I suppose the overarching theme is that you are never too old to live, that life is precious, etc. but honestly, I had a hard time caring about any of them.
