Publisher's summary

The massacre at Tancred House seems at first to be the work of a burglar, panicked into killing. But Chief Inspector Wexford believes there are links with the murder of a Kingsmarkham detective some ten months earlier.

Interesting

Very good story, held your interest, could not wait for end to see if I was right but ending was too quick, even if I was correct.

Even better when read aloud

I love Ruth Rendell, and read this many years ago. I downloaded it for a long journey, expecting just to listen to it as a kind of background noise - instead I was transfixed! Wonderful!

Excellent

I read about this book and it definitely lived up to my expectations.
The narrator's tone and tempo were fantastic.
I will now go look for earlier books in this series.

One of Rendell's Best

At this point I have read over half of the novels in the Wexford series. This is a superb addition - perhaps the best in the series.

This is Literature,

as are all of Rendells books. In this one she displays her extraordinary knowledge of plant life, her descriptions are pure poetry. I admire Wexfords intellect and his integrity. Did not want to put this book down.
