Chief Inspector Wexford has neve rbefore known a case of a father finding the murdered body of his daughter, never thought to see a bereaved paretn prone over his child's corpse. He ahs daughters of his own, but he can barely imagine himself in George Marshalson's position.

Wexford needs to discover if there is any connection between two apparently unconnected deaths. But he is soon accused in the local press of old-fashioned police methods.

However, with his old friend and partner, Mike Burden, and two new recruits to the Kingsmarkham team, Wexford pursues his inquiries with a diligence and humanity that make Ruth Rendell's detective stories entrhalling, exciting and very touching.

I just discovered that I never journaled this book when I got it in 2006. Sorry about that.

I also just finished the book and I liked it. I had never read an Inspector Wexford mystery and I will check out earlier ones in the series. I liked how the characters interacted with each other and how the littlest clue made a big difference.
