Summary
Tim Cornish thought he'd gotten away with murder. For months after he'd killed his lover off the Alaskan coast, there hadn't been a word. But then the letters started to arrive. It seems that someone knows what Tim has done....
This compelling thriller delivers such a dark picture of romantic love that murder seems its natural mate. Frightening, suspenseful, and deeply unsettling, No Night Is Too Long is a modern crime masterpiece and will be enjoyed by readers of P. D. James and Ian Rankin.
Barbara Vine is the pen name of Ruth Rendell. Ruth has published 14 novels under the Vine name, two of which, Fatal Inversion and King Solomon's Carpet, won the prestigious Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger Award.

An astonishingly slow burn masterpiece.
I can only quote Ian Rankin as saying that Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine surpasses most Booker Prize winners and shortlists with the astonishing quality of her writing and only didn’t get listed because she was prolific. I thought I had long ago consumed all of her output in print, but somehow I had missed this one.
For many chapters she leads you in to the dark side of a first person narrative and you think you have it all. Then she moves you around. Who is deceiving who? Who is controlling who?
Writing as Barbara Vine, she is so subtle and intense.
With not enough hours in the day, I have a big audio book habit and the readers here are good, but this is actually one that I started to wish I was just absorbing from the page as the whole thing is written as transcripts and letters to be read and I think that would be the very best way to get the most from it.

Too long!!
Bogged down by the protagonist's self indulgent ramblings, dragging the real story out so much that I gave up after chapter 8.Disappointing for a Barbara Vine.

No night is too long was an excellent book
I very much enjoyed listening to Alex Jennings reading the first part of “no night is too long”. He completely captured the character and it was interesting to see how he developed the persona of Tim as the book went along. I really had no idea of where this was going and very much enjoyed the twists. The other two readers and their stories were also absolutely great and I highly recommend this book. I kept thinking about it long after the story ended.

Compelling story
This may be one of ‘Barbara Vine’s’ best - I found it compulsively listenable and it’s setting / characters intriguingly
unconventional. Highly recommended.

Outstanding….it has depth, intrigue, insight, and more twists than the St Bernard Pass.
What a clever story. Beautifully crafted, ingeniously constructed, marvellously written. This is what writing should be like. No cliches, no tired aphorisms, no clutter, no fluff. Just an excellent, readable, and absorbing story. It’s the sort of book that keeps you thinking long after you have finished.

Excellent first narrator.
Female narrator had a very annoying whiny voice.
Enjoyed the first half but, not, the silly twist or the way it was told.

No Night Is Too Long, but some books are...
Several hours of self-absorbed waffle, one good and unexpected (though highly unlikely) twist, but every other outcome either predictable or telegraphed. Unlike other reviewers I found the narration flat and detached. This may have been for effect, but the only effect it actually had was to make the characters deeply unsympathetic and self-obsessed. Honestly didn't care what happened to any of them. Definitely not one I'll be keeping to listen to again :(

absolutely brilliant
i have read/ listened to so many books and podcasts etc on audible that I have lost count but I can quite safely say this book is the one I've liked best. The detail and the explanation of places capable to actually take you to where the book takes place is as I've never had the pleasure of reading before.
loved it loved loved it !!!!!
