Kingsmarkam is the charming fictional town Ruth Rendell uses as the setting for Chief Inspector Wexford mysteries. Beyond the charming facade lies so much evil. Murder and mayhem seem to ooze from everywhere like wet mortar from between bricks. In Harm Done, first a child disappears and then her father is murdered. The town is on edge as Wexford methodically resolves the crime.
Rendell is unlike other formula crime writers. Other than settings. stock characters and subject matter--murder, Rendell;s books are all different. You know going in Wexford will solve the crime but you don't know how or when.
