Description
Acknowledged as one of today's premier mystery writers, Ruth Rendell has won three Edgar Awards and four Gold Dagger Awards. She received the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America and was awarded the Commander of the British Empire. Among her most popular books are those in the Inspector Wexford series. Harm Done presents the inspector with a most volatile challenge: the various guises of domestic abuse. The residents of a shabby housing complex in the London suburb of Kingsmarkham are furious. A convicted pedophile, released from prison, has returned to their community. At the same time, two young women disappear, each returning several days later with little memory of where she has been. As Wexford investigates, Kingsmarkham is rocked by violence and murder. To prevent further harm, the inspector must coax some surprising motives from the reluctant suspects. Narrator Davina Porter gives an absorbing performance of Rendell's finely-crafted, suspenseful work.

      • premium: True

      • content: Ruth Rendell presents her detective, Chief Inspector Wexford, with a series of events that involve domestic violence and conclude with murder. This consciousness-raising novel always dramatizes, never preaches, and, therefore, makes its points all the more effectively. It's a strong blend of insight and entertainment. The superb work of reader Donada Peters serves this fine book well. Peters excels at that difficult intangible of creating an inviting, pleasing environment for the listener. Over the course of the entire book, she becomes a familiar, reassuring narrative presence, whose work could deservedly win her fans of her own. G.H. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine

      • content:

        October 4, 1999
        In her latest Inspector Wexford mystery (following Road Rage), the prolific Rendell shows that, like Wexford, she too is a master of indirection. Like a stout, aging British Columbo, Wexford hides his intuition and keen powers of observation behind a rumpled, grandfatherly facade. Three of the cases that he unravels in this satisfyingly complex work have to do with the abuse of women or children. The crimes range from the ridiculous (a petulant university girl and a mentally challenged girl from a low-income housing project are each kidnapped to do housework and returned for ineptitude) to the monstrous (Wexford and his men must protect a child molester who was released from prison while a rich man tortures his wife in the comfort of his spacious home). Rendell is too realistic a writer to link her crimes together in a sensational way. Instead, each offense galvanizes a slew of colorful characters of all classes who live in the suburban community of Kingsmarkham. Wexford's daughter Sylvia, a strident volunteer for a battered women's shelter, fills in her father on the signs of abuse and abusers, and it is a measure of Rendell's subtle skill that she manages to address a social blight without ever losing track of her plot or flattening her characterizations. Thanks to Rendell's steadfast devotion to what is real over what is mere theory, what comes through in her 47th book is the unique human mystery at the heart of a crime.

      • content: Children go missing, a pedophile is released and a spouse is abused. These and other problems plague Inspector Wexford and his police force. Ravenscroft is so comfortable in his roles as Inspector and narrator that his own personality rarely reveals itself. As seamless transitions from character to character assist the listener through the abridgment, catching the culprits takes second place to the pleasure of a good story and a good performance. M.B.K.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: This Inspector Wexford mystery is a bit of a disappointment in both the writing and the reading. Though the Wexford stories are usually tautly crafted, this one meanders into social issues (pedophilia and spousal abuse); indeed, the murders don't occur until the last fourth of the novel. As usual, reader Davina Porter is superb, except for her somewhat grating characterization of Wexford himself, which seems forced and unnatural. Still Rendell and Porter are better than most of what else is out there, so HARM DONE is worth staying the course. T.H. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
