Kerstin Kvist didn't know what to expect when she took up a job with the Cosway family at their odd, almost grand, house.

Quite an odd yet evocative read

Extremely well read . Barbara Vine is , for me, so much better than Ruth Rendell! Compared with dull old Wexford, this is a really original and compelling set of characters whose awful and various dysfunctions are mesmerising.

Fascinating story

This is a great story. Ruth Rendell when writing as Barbara Vine introduces the most interesting characters. Her books always have useful information and interesting quotes. The narration is superb.

Unusual story and beautifully narrated. Her speaking voice was a joy to listen to and the accent judged just right for the protagonist/diarist.
