The Babes In The Wood
(RUTH RENDELL)

Publicidade
A couple returns from a weekend in Paris to find their two teenage children and
the baby-sitter have disappeared. With the area around the town of Kings
Markham flooded, the mother and Chief Inspector Wexford''s superior both think
they have drowned ? but when the Subaqua frogmen find nothing Wexford''s
intuitions are confirmed. Are the children babes in the wood or are they no
innocents? Are they still alive? In any event, their disappearance will catalyze
the breakup of several marriages.

It has little menace, with the main protagonists never in danger, but The
Babes in the Wood is a good page-turner, with a steady flow of
possibilities, uncertainties, and twists. As usual, Rendell provides a
fascinating collection of characters: as well as the still-interesting Wexford
and his sidekick Burden, these include the members of a revivalist church, a
high-flying Londoner with a model wife and a rarely used country home, and an
unusually with it grandmother. And the background events offer their own
interest ? Wexford''s own house is at risk from the floods, while one of his
daughters is threatened in a most unexpected fashion. The Babes in the Wood
won''t disappoint Rendell aficionados.
