Summary

In a gloomy cellar, the figure of a beautiful, pale woman makes no move when the man advances on her from the shadows, puts his hands around her neck and strangles her. Arthur Johnson is a mild-mannered, shy man who has never known how to talk to women. His resulting loneliness has twisted his yearning for love and respect into a carefully constructed predilection for violence and control. On the floor below him, Anthony Johnson, a scholar studying psychopathic personalities is about to stumble - quite literally - upon one of Arthur's many secrets.

Liked the story line and characters, short and sweet. Nice twist at the end. Adequate narration. Enjoyed this listen

Ruth Rendell is incredible!
She goes from a crime investigation by a retired police detective all the way to a psychological thriller and anything in between. I am totally in love.
