About this listen
Nineteen thirty-four, London. Into the decaying cul-de-sac of Bleeding Heart Square steps aristocratic Lydia Langstone fleeing an abusive marriage. However, unknown to Lydia, a dark mystery haunts Bleeding Heart Square. What happened to Miss Penhow, the middle-aged spinster who owns the house and who vanished four years earlier? Why is a seedy plain-clothes policeman obsessively watching the square? What is making struggling journalist Rory Wentwood so desperate to contact Miss Penhow? And why are parcels of rotting hearts being sent to Joseph Serridge, the last person to see Miss Penhow alive?
Andrew Taylor is the author of a number of critically acclaimed crime novels, including the Roth Trilogy (ITV's Fallen Angel) and The American Boy, his best-selling historical novel which was a Richard and Judy Book Club selection. He has won many awards, including the CWA John Creasey Award, an Edgar Scroll from the Mystery Writers of America and two CWA Ellis Peters Historical Daggers.

A story with a lot of murder and mayhem
The charactersbin this book are believable, and they all have a part to play in this wonderful story.. There are complexities to perplex you, so as not to solve the riddle, and when they are revealed it truly is a revelation. Brilliantly 3

Good Story
Good story, enjoyed the characters and the setting. Really set the scene of how the class society was in the 30s. Narration was fab, and the ending, did not see that coming.

A wonderful surprise
I was not sure how I would like it, but decided to give try. A beautifully crafted tale, painting London of the 1930s as the background. Class, snobbery and the undercurrent of fascist threat that was sweeping Europe echoes today's government in some alarming ways.
The main protagonists have real lives and struggles that people could relate to even now. The mystery story is fascinating and will keep you hooked.
Enjoy
