Ruth Rendell's Portobello reaffirmed my faith in her as giving us a good light read, because some of her latest books were disappointing. Portobello is quite different from her others and only other fans will appreciate this, in fact it almost seems a "Barbara Vine" book of hers. Get it at once and curl up by the fire and see what it's all about . . . in Portobello.
