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.

Ruth Rendell’s masterful writing and exquisite understanding of suspense are not to be missed. The narrator is superb. Overall I found the story a bit too dark for my taste… but I still couldn’t put it down!

Very dark

Although rather long, I found the story compelling and wanted to keep listening till I got to the end. If it was a paperback I would have had trouble putting it down.
