Interview mit Minette Walters am 9. Mai 2015 in der britischen Zeitschrift Guardian., aufgerufen am 11. Mai 2015. Im Original lautet das Zitat: Both were towering figures who brought realism to the genre but, of the two, I think Ruth was the more influential because her originality allowed her to forge new paths. Her body of work is extraordinary, not least because of the number of books she wrote, and the unfailing elegance of her prose. She was a great writer. I admired her enormously and was very upset to hear of her death.
