Publisher's Summary
All his life, for almost as far back as he could remember, Victor had had a phobia. In prison, inevitably, he reflected on the grotesque way it had begun, about the panics and violent anger. He asked himself, too, why the child of happily married, middle-class parents should have needed to make motiveless and unreasoning attacks on women.
Holed up in that house with the girl, he had not meant to pull the trigger. It was panic. Panic, which came over him like a second skin, prickling him all over, crawling on him.... An attempted murder not only brings Victor Jenner face to face with himself, but also involves him in a strange and doomed triangular relationship.

One of the Best
Kept me entertained until the very end and trying to second guess the protagonists next thoughts and moves.
Very thoughtfully written and very well narrated. Rendell at her best.

Rendall delivers as always
I love how Rendall manages to garner my sympathy for the antagonist. It then oscillates between the main character and the protagonist.
Un-put-downable (so to speak)

She was one of the worlds most accomplished writers
I loved this book, so cleverly crafted. She was far beyond her time. This book is a great yarn.

Overall
There was nothing that the narrator could to drag this boring, dialogue repetitive story out of the doldrums for me. So disappointing that I’m not going to hear the rest of it through at six hours to go.

sleep solution
if you have trouble sleeping this is a nice voice to listen to and the story is so boring you won't mind not knowing g what has happened while you slept.

worst book ever
definitely the worst book I ever listened to.
I kept thinking it must get better and while getting angry listening to it I made myself finish it just to be as disappointed about the end as I was the whole time listening to it .
if it was an option i would have given it zero stars
