Ram With Red Horns
It may be true that, in the words of the Bard, "Murder will out,"  but that doesn't mean anyone will care. This is what Rhonwen, the heroine of Rhys  Davies's last novelRam with Red Horns, discovers after she pushes her  philandering husband off a cliff. So prim and proper is Rhonwen that everyone in the  Welsh village where she lives assumes the death was an accident. There things might  have rested if the widow, suddenly overcome with guilt, hadn't started imagining a large  ram with red horns and evil eyes following her about.Leave it to Rhys Davies to eschew the obvious. Instead of constructing a dark tale of  murder and gnawing guilt, he has fashioned a dark comedy. When Rhonwen finally  decides that confession is good for the soul, she finds nobody in the village wants to hear  about it. Apparently there's a statute of limitations on wrong deeds: after a certain amount  of time, the truth becomes too inconvenient to know. A masterful mix of funny and grim,Ram with Red Hornsis a fine example what the late Davies did so well.
