About this listen

Unlike the other residents of Middleton Hall, Stella is elegant, smart, and in control. Only Jenny, her care assistant, knows that she harbours a painful secret, and only she can prevent Stella from carrying it to the grave.

As the women talk, Jenny pieces together the answers to many questions that arise: Why has she kept possession of a house that her family don’t know about? What happened there that holds the key to a distant tragedy?

As Jenny uses the house to meet her lover, she makes some unusual discoveries, but only when Stella leaves Jenny her tape recorder, into which she has recorded the true events of the past, can the truth be finally - and shockingly - revealed.

Great story brilliant narration

Parallel past and present stories of Stella in aged care and her carer Jennie, both the 'victims' of doom-laden romance.
Typical Babara Vine: what has happened is predictable but the tension is all about the how and why,
Merits a second listen, and of course Juliet Stevenson is brilliant.

Barbara Vine at her best

Rendell/Vine has a wonderful way of writing and even her more drawn out stories (this is one of them) do not disappoint. There were times when I felt like I wanted her to just get on with it, but I realised that it was all a part of the painting of the picture and in the end it was all worthwhile.
The narrator was superb.

Typical Vine dive into the nature of people

The narrator does voices and accents well. The characters are well rounded and fleshed out, starting with relationships made then entangled. The lurking shadow of Gilda drives the listener on to the inevitable, but her ending is worse than anticipated!

Slow start, cracking end
