My reading of Simisola was admittedly different to my reading of most of Rendell's other books in that Simisola was televised in a 3 part drama of which I frustratingly missed and forgot to video part 3! I was unable to find anyone else who'd videoed it, or could give me a coherent explanation of the denouement, so what left but to read the book?! Simisola deals with racial attitudes and prejudices - in a village with only 18 black inhabitants, one of them goes missing, maybe murdered.....? It would be difficult if not impossible to give any more information about the plot without giving too much away, but it's a brilliantly written and observed book, ...  Read the complete review

Simisola is a very good book in that I found it very hard to put down! The characters in Simisola all have depth and there is lots of different themes running alongside the main plot. Rendell tackles various issues in the book as well as the obvious 'who-dunnit' that is the main plot. The book deals with class differences, domestic violence and slavery to mention a few. The sub-plots are dealt with through the main plot so as the book is easy to follow. The book is well written and an enjoyable read. It is certainly a book that is worth a read again! ...  Read the complete review
