Written with intelligence, compassion, and a knowing eye--in the tradition of the fabulous mysteries of Ruth Rendell and P.D. James--award-winning author Susan Hill's The Various Haunts of Men is an enthralling journey into the heart of a wonderfully developed town, and into the very mind of a killer. As the story begins, a lonely woman vanishes while out on her morning run. Then a 22-year-old girl never returns from a walk. An old man disappears too. When fresh-faced policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case, she runs the risk of getting too invested--too involved--in the action. Alongside the enigmatic detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler, she must unravel the mystery before events turn too gruesome. "I loved this book . . . Not all great novelists can write crime fiction, but when one like Susan Hill does it, the result is stunning." --Ruth Rendell
