About this listen

A lump of concrete dropped deliberately from a little stone bridge kills the wrong person. The young woman in the car behind is spared. But only for a while... A few weeks later, George Marshalson lives every father's worst nightmare: he discovers the murdered body of his eighteen-year-old daughter on the side of the road. Wexford steps into the case but soon a second teenage girl is murdered - a victim unquestionably linked to the first - and another family is shattered...

Ruth Rendell at her best. It had me guessing till the end. Nigel Anthony's extensive range of voices brought the story alive.

A rattling good story told by a superb narrator

I thought the narrator really captured Wexford and had great ability with the other characters as well. Thoroughly enjoyed this and a real treat as a freebie .

Great narration and story from a great detective writer.

Not sure at all about this book. I was really involved with the story to begin with and then it seemed to take far too long to get anywhere…and I lost interest. Some of the sub plots seemed slightly ridiculous and the main plot line was wrapped up I n the last 7 minutes by Wexford. The narrator is good.

Bit of an odd story…

Nigel Anthony is perfect! A convoluted tale with excitement and mystery. Very enjoyable. Give it a listen!

Excellent entertainment

Very good performance, lots of little side stories sending you off on a red herring but an unbelievable ending which was quite disappointing. I suppose there are limited reasons for wanting to kill someone.

Big lead up to a disappointing end
