RUTH RENDELL MYSTERIES SET 2-TV DVD REVIEW


A blurb from Acorn Media about “Ruth Rendell Mysteries Set 2”: In six tales of suspense, award-winning writer Ruth Rendell examines the jealousies, betrayals, and resentments that lead to tragedy.

The next 6 episodes of the long running mystery series that was based on Ruth Rendell’s mystery novels is on this 3-disc box set of the second set of stories from the series.
