The massacre at Tancred House seems at first to be the work of a burglar, panicked into killing. But Chief Inspector Wexford believes there are links with the murder of a Kingsmarkham detective some ten months earlier.©2009 Ruth Rendell (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

I think the performance is excellent as he reads women well. Bought the dialogue to life

Excellent narration

A free Audible book and it was quite good in parts funny too. But the ending was odd I got it? but it could have been better.

“Possible spoiler alert”. I enjoyed this one as much as any of her others, but I find it baffling that there never seems to be a sense of urgency in them. Eg, an emergency call from someone worried they’ll bleed to death if the ambulance doesn’t hurry leads us to a convoy of which the ambulance is third in line trundling up a long drive with detailed description of wooded area, eventually house and courtyard, before a lot of faffing about choosing a means of entry, then dallying in a room with two dead bodies. I can’t imagine how long all this must have taken, but the poor woman must have bled to death long ago by the time this lot got to her.

I do love a Ruth Rendell but…

Really enjoyable listen. Narration not quite as good as Nigel Antony but once I got used to it it was a very good plot.
