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.

What a clever, tense start to a book! An unexpected ending, too. The only part I was not happy with was the poor, little mouse. I can handle murders of humans, but poor, defenceless animals........

Great story

As one who much prefers her Barbara Vine stories, this Ruth Rendell easily forgettable tale was long enough at just over 6 hours, with the last minutes being the tales best unexpected twist.
Previous reviewers have found it non PC re race /women, but it's of it's time & shouldn't be faulted for that in today's overly woke society.

A Twisted Tale!

A steadily gripping story of lovably unlikeable characters excellently read and characterised. Two interwoven streams of interest coming together in in a final act of horror and happiness.

Sustained interest throughout.

Continuing to work through the non-Wexford novels, this was a decent listen to pass the time - though very dated with weak pathetic female characters. Interesting to look back though on how people relied on the post for communication - looking forward each day to the postman arriving and having one telephone (a pay-phone) shared between all the flats, Dreadful attempt at a female Jamaican accent is why I gave the narration 2 stars in what would otherwise have been a decent performance.
A bit uncomfortable at times with what are now racist terms, but were acceptable and commonplace at the time.
