Description
In the seemingly idyllic town of Kingsmarkham, a community torn apart by violence and betrayal lurks beneath its picture-postcard façade. When 16-year-old Lizzie Cromwell reappears after a mysterious disappearance, Inspector Wexford is tasked with unraveling the tangled threads of her past. But as he delves deeper into the case, a new mystery emerges: the disappearance of a three-year-old girl. As the public's outrage turns on a recently released pederast and another suspect is found stabbed to death, Wexford must navigate a complex web of suspicion and vengeance. With the threat of mob justice looming, he must act swiftly to prevent further violence before it's too late. In Harm Done, Ruth Rendell masterfully weaves together the dark threads of human nature, revealing a sinister reality that lies just beneath the surface of everyday life. With its gripping plot and nuanced exploration of the human condition, this Inspector Wexford mystery is a gripping pacey read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
