Love the characters in this series. Love the performance which is right up there with the very best. But this book needed an editor very badly. The story was so convoluted and took much too long to unravel and when it was unraveling, was much too hurried. And the ending was classic mystery bullshit. Without spoiling, someone should have been dead long before telling his/her story. I will certainly read the next book but only if it’s much tighter.

Interesting but was waiting for more about the library. If that's what you're looking for, look elsewhere.

Barbara Vine/Ruth Rendell is one of my favorite writers. I've read them all. Conventionally, that is. I'm still mourning her death. But frankly, I can't remember plots anymore, and Harriet Walter is an amazing narrator (see Olivia Manning) so I thought I would give this one another shot. (I also read another Barbara Vine she narrated, but it doesn't seem to be here anymore.)

So fantastic. So rich. So complicated. And thankfully, I didn't remember a thing! It's a little difficult to read Vine in this manner, as she takes her time clueing you into who the characters are, what they're on about, how they're related to one another, and you can't go back and skim. (Unless you take the book out of the library, as I did, but that way lies madness.) It eventually all becomes clear. And it's riveting. I'm sure some people will think this is slow, but ignore them. This is what audio reading is all about.

Enjoy.
