Inspector Wexford and his partner are drawn into the investigation of a potential kidnapping of two teenagers and their babysitter. Initially uncertain whether any crime has been committed, Wexford nevertheless does due diligence and follows up on a variety of leads to find out what happened to them. Talking to the people who were close to the babysitter, Wexford gets conflicting impressions of her character and slowly begins to put together possible scenarios that would explain the disappearances. After a body is found in the woods, he is able to narrow down the possibilities to identify what happened. So far, I've only read Ruth Rendell standalone mysteries and novels, some of which I've liked but others less so. This is the 19th book in the Inspector Wexford series, but the first one I've read. I enjoyed it quite a lot, so I'm going to tackle the list starting with the first.
