Symons' The Kentish Manor Murders (Viking; 191 pages; $15.95) is his third book starring the quirky Sheridan Haynes, an actor who, in portraying the Baker Street detective onstage, has developed an inflated sense of his celebrity and powers of deduction. The plot seems to have been inspired by the life of Howard Hughes: it involves both a plutocrat so reclusive that he is rumored to be dead and a daring literary forgery -- this time a "lost" Conan Doyle manuscript. Rendell has often said that she would prefer to concentrate on individual stories of twisted minds, but feels compelled...

...enameled miniature of a novella. Set in the environs of a cathedral, it etches the opposite but equally crazy ways in which two sisters react to their mother's death and their father's potential remarriage. An explicit tribute to the quasi-supernatural stories of Henry James and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Heartstones also makes full use of Rendell's own trademark chill, a slide-under-the-microsc ope dispassion that permits all sorts of behavior but forgives nothing. No other living mystery writer complains more openly about the burden of fans expecting her to bring back series characters when...
