Harm Done
Harm Done: An Inspector Wexford Mystery | Ruth Rendell
2 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
The search for the body commenced. Then the victim walked into town. Behind the picture-postcard façade of Kingsmarkham lies a community rife with violence, betrayal, and a taste for vengeance. When sixteen-year-old Lizzie Cromwell reappears no one knows where she has been, including Lizzie herself. Inspector Wexford thinks she was with a boyfriend. But the disappearance of a three-year-old girl casts a more ominous light on events. And when the public's outrage turns toward a recently released pederast and another suspect turns up stabbed to death, Wexford must try to unravel the mystery before any more bodies appear, and before a mob of local vigilantes metes out a rough justice to their least favorite suspect. In Harm Done, the violence is near at hand, and evil lies just a few doors down the block. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Been a fan of her writings for many years.
This book featuring Inspector Wexford was not only one of crime solving, but also addressed social issues like spousal abuse.

In memory of my Dad; he loved RR. Inspector Wexford comes to grips with domestic violence and ever expanding ripples of impact it has on everyone's lives. Very 90's consciousness raising, feels old fashioned but can't fault good intentions. Nicely done portrait of Wexford getting woke.
