About this listen

 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.

It was difficult to stick with this one. The basic premise was good, but the storyline could have been condensed. There were too many characters making it hard to remember who was who. There were too many side stories, and, as usual, too much description. It was clear from early on who one of the culprits was; the accomplice wasn't so obvious. The narrator did a better Wexford this time - more realistic.

Too long winded

This is not my normal genre but it was enjoyable and engaging. A dramatic start which effectively pulls you in and an effortless pace which drifts you along comfortably. A familiar TV police drama style. Like I say, not my thing so I would have 3-starred it , but for fans of this genre, I think it will fully deliver, so 4. What impressed me was the narrator's performance., brilliant.

Very well read! Intriguing story
