Review title: An absorbing read
Product review: Chief Inspector Wexfords' home is surrounded by rising floodwaters, as are the homes of everyone in his town of Kingsmarkam. A distraught and hysterical woman contacts the local police, convinced that her two teenaged children and their babysitter have drowned in the floodwaters, even though there is no reason to place them anywhere near the dangerous area.M/s Rendell introduces many fascinating-albeit nasty- characters into the story...a weird religous cult who is trying to control the mind of the missing teenaged boy, and the inner workings of the boys seemingly normal family, who are dominated by an aggressive and robustly rude father.Wexford and his wife Dora are horrified when their daughter Sylvia introduces her latest lover, an abusive man who exerts an unhealthy influence over her to the extent that she disregards her experience with abused women, feeling that it is different in her case.I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to other readers of this genre.
