Publisher's Summary:
Burden seated himself on the corner of the desk, a favourite perch. Wexford thought he was thinner than ever.
'Woman phoned to say she and her husband went to Paris for the weekend, leaving their children with a - well, teen-sitter, I suppose, got back last night to find the lot gone and naturally she assumes they've all drowned.
''That's amusing?''
'It's pretty bizarre, isn't it? The teenagers are fifteen and thirteen, the sitter's in her thirties, they can all swim and the house is miles above the floods.'
There hadn't been anything like this kind of rain in living memory. The River Brede had burst its banks, and not a single house in the valley had escaped flooding. Even where Wexford lived, higher up in Kingsmarkham, the waters had nearly reached the mulberry tree in his once immaculate garden.
The Subaqua Task Force could find no trace of Giles and Sophie Dade, let alone the woman who was keeping them company, Joanna Troy. But Mrs Dade was still convinced her children were dead. This was an investigation which would call into question many of Wexford's assumptions about the way people behaved, including his own family.
Members Reviews:
Wexford, more Wexford in the rain....
This is a fairly typical example of the Wexford/Burden genre. There is one large plot twist, and a somewhat unsatisfying subplot concerning Wexford's daughter Sylvia.
The novel is set during a time of flooding in Southern England, and there is a certain dreariness to the proceedings that is intentional.
This book supports the argument that Rendell, a very successful woman, was something of an anti-feminist.
One of my favorite series
"Who done it" rather than suspenseful which is what I prefer. A notch below Martha Grimes or Georges Simenon but on my must read list for her Wexford books.
Five Stars
great
Four Stars
I enjoy all the books from this author.
Terrific Book.
I love Ruth Rendell's books because they all have a good story and keep you guessing until the end.
This book had a terrific ending - one l had never imagined - but so easily could have happened.
