I am really enjoying listening to Ruth Rendells books in Audible form. With the absolutely brilliant Nigel Anthony reading them. He really brings the characters to life.
I had forgotten how funny the author could be in her wonderful descriptions of people. Ging was one of my favourites
The added bonus is they are all freebees

A good story. I wanted to listen to it in one sitting. The narrators brought the characters to life.

Great narrator

Interesting story that kept me listening. I had to listen carefully to the end, but all became clear. The narrator was very good and reminded me of George Baker, the actor who played Wexford on television.

Engrossing story
