Parental devotion a family experience

Rendell Returns: To those many fans of TVOntario's Ruth Rendell Mysteries series who responded with abundant outrage to my Februrary review of what I believed was the first of a new season's run of Inspector Wexford crime yarns, I apologize. As it turns out, TVO purchased some of the very first Rendell mysteries, long after they aired elsewhere, and A Guilty Thing Surprised, tonight at 9 on Channel 19, is one of them. News that a British producer is currently preparing a new run of Wexford works for TV confused me.
