This book is one of Ruth Rendell's Detective Wexford novels. Good who done it that surprised me at the end though I had the general area right. Story of a missing babysitter and the two adolescents she's watching. Good plotting and superb psychological insight, the latter an area the author excels in as attested by her many awards. What surprised me even more than the revelation of the murderer was the revelation of the babysitter's true character.
