Chief Inspector Wexford tries to solve a murder with no evidence, not even a body. Read by the star of the TV series. Anita Margolis had vanished. There was no body, no crime – nothing more than an anonymous letter and the intriguing name of Smith. According to HQ, it wasn't to be a murder enquiry at all. In fact, Inspector Burden has no trouble seeing a pattern in the Margolis case. Anita was wealthy, flighty, and thoroughly immoral. Decent women had clean, tidy homes, and were either married or had jobs, or both – they didn't live with eccentric brothers and bring lovers home in the afternoon. And they knew better than to keep their money in their handbags. It was clear as daylight to Inspector Burden what had happened to Anita Margolis. Chief Inspector Wexford however, had other ideas.

      The second of Rendell's Chief Inspector Wexford police procedurals, from the 1960s, has the Kingsmarkham force investigating the disappearance of an artist's beautiful sister. Period details--long hair, mod clothes, loosening sexual mores--and the reactions to them date the book or provide added interest, depending on the listener. The late Robin Bailey's slightly dark timbre and cultured tone deliver the story with controlled pacing and dynamics. He varies character voices fairly well, though people of a particular class tend to sound more alike than class alone would determine. His Wexford has less of a local accent than other narrators give him, a reasonable choice for a well-educated character. Overall, a tip-top reading of a solid entry in a popular series. W.M.
