3-In-One: One Across, Two Down; The Face Of Trespass; Make Death Not Love [B1532]

1991 HCDJ special Book Club omnibus edition of the 1970s originals. Here, in an exclusive edition, are three of the best of Ruth Rendell's early novels. The skillful and witty "One Across, Two Down" is the story of three people whose fondest wishes come true--with totally unexpected results. "The Face of Trespass" explores obsession, one of Rendell's favorite subjects. And, in "Make Death Love Me" bored Alan Groombridege has the chance to disappear from the face of the earth.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I picked up this three-in-one volume at Goodwill and became an instant Ruth Rendell addict. She was a master of getting inside guilty people's heads. She died recently, but left a huge body of published work--dozens of mystery and suspense novels and collections of short stories."; "Rendell's writing amazes. Her character development and plot presentation are masterfully woven, leading the reader to speed through the book. Rendell's use of language never disappoints as the mystery reaches its culmination. I highly recommend this book as a starting point for delving into Rendell's other mysteries."; "All of Rendell's books are terrific character studies with emphasis on the bizarre."
