An Unkindness of Ravens — Ruth Rendell

Rodney Williams's disappearance seems typical to Chief Inspector Wexford -- a simple case of a man running off with a woman other than his wife.

But when another woman reports that her husband is missing, the case turns unpleasantly complex.

Are the two disappearances connected? In her inimitable, suspenseful way, Ruth Rendell has fashioned a terrific mystery that keeps you guessing till the final pages.
