International bestselling author
'No contemporary writer of suspense stories tries to vary the form's boundaries more than Ruth Rendell.'
The Guardian
The violence is near at hand and evil lies just a few doors down the block in the 18th audiobook to feature the classic crime-solving detective, Chief Inspector Wexford.
A young girl disappears, then another.
A notorious paedophile is released back into the community. The residents of the Muriel Campden Estate are up in arms, and even prepared to take the law into their own hands ...
Chief Inspector Wexford is faced with the effects of violence and prejudice every day as a policeman, and he is also involved with a new program to help victims of domestic violence. His daughter, Sylvia, has come to work nearby in a refuge for battered women. Her marriage is not a happy one, although her husband has never raised a hand to her. They are merely incompatible. Other women in Kingsmarkham are not so lucky ...
Wexford is soon called upon to investigate two extremely serious crimes which will affect the lives and attitudes of police and innocent villagers alike ...
'It is hard to think of another crime writer who so effortlessly incorporates real events ... into genre fiction, and in a serious manner ... Rendell's detective fiction stands almost alone as a chronicle of the dark side of modern life ... Rendell offers sufficient clues and red herrings to satisfy the most dedicated puzzle-solver ... Harm Done is a vivid demonstration of Rendell's contribution to contemporary fiction.'
The Independent
'The Wexford books clearly display Rendell's great mastery of storytelling at its best.'
The Sunday Telegraph
'More lifelike than many sophisticated thrillers.'
