Kissing the Gunner's Daughter is a 1992 novel by the distinguished British mystery writer Ruth Rendell, featuring her popular recurring character Inspector Reg Wexford and his sidekick, Mike Burden.
The members of a well-to-do family in Kingsmarkham are shot to death during dinner. Only the young daughter survives, badly wounded, and her fragmentary memories are not of much help to Wexford. As she recovers, a romance blooms with a young American tourist.
