Publisher Description

A proposed highway through a forest near Kingsmarkham has caused loud cries of protest. One group has taken more drastic measures. It will risk everything-including the lives of five hostages-to halt construction. When Inspector Wexford learns that one of the hostages is his wife Dora, he is caught in a spiral of frustration and fear. The gripping drama of his search takes on added intensity through Davina Porter's crisp narration.

"Love a mystery and Rendell adds layers of description of the countryside, gardens and wildlife. Personalities galore and some with interesting character development. I had trouble seeing the mystery solution which underscores this story of many characters and twists and turns. Enjoyed it and read long one night to get to the end."

    " I find Ruth Rendell quite good for a mystery/crime/spooky read that draws one in. A decent light read. "

    " As always, I enjoy reading an Inspector Wexford mystery because he is such an interesting character. Ruth Rendell writes a tight mystery with just enough clues to keep me wound up in the troubles of her characters until the end. "

    " Another thriller by Ruth Rendell. I really loved the other book l read of hers, and this one was also good, but not as clever as the other. There was a great twist at the end, and I still love reading about the British legal system. I will read more of hers in the future. "

    " I really enjoy the way Rendell teases - making one think one knows the solution, then making one doubt, rethink, doubt again. I particularly like the way Wexford and his wife work together. Their marriage is amazing. "

    " Things get personal when Inspector Wexford's wife Dora disappears mysteriously. A radical environmentalist group claims responsibility, while a group Wexford is sympathetic to is trying to stop a bypass from being built. Above average Rendell, also well dramatized in the TV production. "

    " Rendell's books are all solid, well-written, and very British. Unfortunately, I seem to find all of her books tough to get into, and this one was no exception. Once it got going it was OK, but I can't say much more than that... "
