Summary
The mysterious disappearance of two local teenagers and their babysitter draws Inspector Wexford into a baffling case involving dark family secrets, violence, a religious cult, adultery, and murder.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: During a flooding rainstorm, a woman phones Inspector Wexford’s assistant saying she and her husband have returned from a Paris vacation to find their children and baby sitter gone – and they assume them drowned. The puzzle grows when Wexford learns the children were 13 and 15, the sitter in her thirties, all swimmers, and the house was miles above the floods. The Subaqua Task Force can find no trace of Giles and Sophie Dade, nor of the woman attending them, Joanna Troy. Mrs. Dade remains convinced her children are dead, but why? This case will call into question Wexford’s deepest assumptions about the way people behave, including his own family. This audio version of mysterious disappearances from award-winning writer Ruth Rendell is complete and unabridged.
