Inspector Wexford bumps up against a radical feminist group of young women, and suspects that their particular focus might have led to murder. Specifically, the murder of a man who has a big secret, or maybe more than one.
Rodney Williams disappears. It appears that he has simply gone off with another woman so Wexford does not think much about it at first. But circumstances change and his disappearance has dark undertones.
Meanwhile, his daughter has joined other young women in a new group dedicated, it seems, to avoiding men altogether. In fact, members are not allowed to get married. It seems to be more of a man-hating group than a true feminist organization. I was a little irritated by the characterization of such a ridiculous group as feminist. But I tried to let that go.
Wexford and team discover more and more complications, as is typical in this series, but the field of suspects does narrow down.
I always enjoy the complexity of this detective and his team, especially as they change over the years.
