Rendell at her best

This is definitely one of my favourite Ruth Rendells and I have read it many times. As I am unable to read at present and wanted to be reminded of Rendell's brilluance I decided to try an abridged listen. This is well narrated by George Baker (Wexford on screen) and does not disapoint. It is a gripping listen but if you are new to Rendell or this novel I would recommend the unabridged version. I love the atmosphere and the characterisation in this novel and much of this is lost in the abridged version. However it is still highly recommended if you want a gripping, quick listen.

Abridged version doesn’t work

I’ve listened to a lot of Inspector Wexford books and I usually enjoy them very much. Despite an excellent performance, I couldn’t get to grips with this one, which I think is down to it being an abridged version, and therefore it has lost many of the nuances and descriptions of characters and plot that usually make these books so enjoyable. In future, I shall avoid abridged versions.
