About this listen

Two damaged children: Teddy Brex, whom no-one loved, and so found it easier to relate to objects or things which never let him down; and Francine Hill, who was discovered sitting by the body of her mother, her skirt red with blood. She couldn’t tell the police or her father anything to help track down the killer.... Children grow up in different ways. Teddy became a handsome young man, Francine was beautiful - a sight for sore eyes. But it was death that brought them together.

Another from the Plus Catalogue and another great listen. I will continue catching up with Ruth Rendell non-Wexford novels - a bit old fashioned in places due to their age, but good characters. Threlfall was excellent as narrator. Recommended

Excellent story, well narrated

Unique main character

Excellent book with many twists and turns. My main criticism is the slow(ish) start, although it gradually became apparent that this was an essential part of setting the scene for future happenings, and - for me, at least (not being great at remembering names) the sheer number of different people with often only nebulous interconnections took some keeping up with.

A very different thriller

Thoroughly enjoyed my first Ruth Rendell read so beautifully by David Threlfall. Totally absorbing and unpredictable. Binge listened over 2 days. Loved it. Great storytelling by a master.

My first Rendell didn't disappoint

The narrator did a splendid job of reading this wonderfully written book. He really brought the characters to life.

Superb.
