Negative Positive
Title: very disappointed
Review: The Inspector Wexford series is one of my favorites. Rendell is at her best with this character. I was hungry for a mystery and bought it in hardback as soon as it appeared on the shelves and was glad to see how long it was. High expectation added to disappoinment. I agree with the other reviewers who found the book disappointing, politically correct, overwritten, and tedious. I would add that Inspector Wexford is not himself in No Harm Done-- readers who have not read any of the other Wexford mysteries will be pleasantly surprised to find a richer and less moralistic character. Don't give up because of No Harm Done.
