Road Rage – Ruth Rendell

Description

In Road Rage by Ruth Rendell, environmental protest and murder collide in the quiet town of Kingsmarkham. When plans for a new bypass threaten the natural landscape, Dora Wexford joins the protest movement, while her husband, Chief Inspector Wexford, remains cautiously observant. But the situation turns deadly when the decomposed body of a young woman is discovered, prompting an intense homicide investigation.

While Wexford’s colleague, Burden, believes he has identified the killer, Wexford remains unconvinced. The case takes a terrifying turn when multiple people vanish—including Dora herself. Juggling his new role as a grandfather with the anguish of his wife’s disappearance, Wexford is driven by both professional duty and personal desperation to uncover the truth.

With masterful plotting and psychological depth, Road Rage delivers an unforgettable tale of suspense, family bonds, and moral dilemmas.
