About this listen

When Stuart Font decides to throw a house-warming party in his new flat, he invites all the people in his building. After some deliberation, he even includes the unpleasant caretaker and his wife. There are a few other genuine friends on the list, but he definitely does not want to include his girlfriend, as that might involve asking her husband.

The party will be one everyone remembers. But not for the right reasons. All the occupants of Lichfield House are about to experience a shocking change in their lives as Tigerlily casts her terrible spell....

An entertaining tale of a group of residents who live in the houses and an apartment block of an obscure north London suburb. Rendell's usual mix of social commentary and crime are paramount in this novel.

Was this really written by Ruth Rendell? It was one of those books that you keep reading just because you think it has to get better - but it doesn't!

Tedious

Oh dear, my holiday choice was a frustrating waste of time. Poorly developed plot (was there one?) together with over eager narrator who seemed to exaggerate every sentence in an attempt to engage the listener. Like other reviewers I couldn't even see the point of Tiger Lily and fell asleep at the point where she started to get a little involved so missed it. Not one agreeable character and the ending was so flat. Was it poor writing or an overindulgent editor of a popular author? I was rather hoping that all the characters would get done in by the end in case any turned up in another book. My worst audible choice to date!

Could do better - both author and reader

I was very disappinted by the reader Nicolas Grace who, I felt, needed more direction and who failed to get to grips with each character's personality. I nearly gave up listening as I found his delivery so dreary and maddening. Never again.
