About this listen

The derelict house on the edge of the sleepy seaside town was a haven for courting couples, down-and-outs - and someone with altogether more sinister intentions. It was there that they found the corpse of 17-year-old Jenny Hyde. She'd been strangled.

Excellent story, lots of humour and marvellous narration. I’ll carry on through all the Maxwell series.
