Industry reviews "If you want to read a book that makes you think and stays in your mind long after the last page has been turned, then this is the book for you. HARM DONE is an excellent book by an excellent writer." Pulham  "A bit baggy, when measured against the author's usual trim product, but there's no mistaking the quality at the core." Oakes  "[HARM DONE] does not have the relentless, creepy inevitability of [Rendell's] masterpiece, A JUDGEMENT IN STONE, which is reminiscent of Truman Capote's nonfiction classic, IN COLD BLOOD, in portraying wholesome normalcy resented and destroyed by stunted, homicidal madness. But it is an impressive demonstration of Rendell's ability to mislead the reader while leaving crucial information in plain sight." Mesic  "It's no use trying to read Ruth Rendell's mind. You can follow her logic, analyze her insights and puzzle out her plots. But she'll always astonish you, as she does in HARM DONE, with the emotional depth of her psychological mysteries." New York Times Book Review - Marilyn Stasio (11/21/1999) "HARM DONE is Rendell's 19th Wexford novel, and the plotting is as intricate, the creepiness quotient as high, as ever." Washington Post Book World - Maureen Corrigan (11/28/1999) "Author Colin Dexter's decision this year to end the career of Inspector Morse makes me appreciate Wexford, a similarly literate and pragmatic crime solver, all the more. HARM DONE finds him, and Rendell, at the top of their games." January Magazine - J. Kingston Pierce (12/16/1999) Payment Forms of Payment: We accept PayPal, Visa and MasterCardthrough Paypal.
