Summary
Mary Jago had donated her own bone marrow to save the life of someone she didn’t know. And this generous act led directly to the bitter break-up of her affair with Alistair. For him, it was as though her beauty had been plundered.
But the man whose life she had saved would change Mary’s life in a way she could never have imagined.

Definitely her best book
I haven’t read Ruth Randell for years.
Saw this in the included list. What a treat. I haven’t been able to stop listening.
Simon Russel Beale was totally brilliant and made the whole experience a total treat. His voices and accents were absolutely spot on.

super writing style.
the writing stlye, the descriptions are fabulous. the intricately unwinding of the story, the precise encapsulation of each character is excellent. I love this writer. I love her ability to construct sentences that get to the heart of the point.

The Keys To The Street
A number of Londoners lives converge around the mixed neighbourhood of NW1. Mary Jago, a museum curator provides a life-saving act to save the life of Lieukemia sufferer, Leo Nash, whilst escaping a violent relationship. Dog walker Leslie Bean has a strange past combined with an avaricious nature; drug addict Hob will do anything for his latest fix and finally, the cultured Roman takes to the streets after a major tragedy blights his life.
This Audiobook was truly sublime. Rendell's talent for telling the stories of a group of diverse people is amazing and I adored the twisty nature of the plot.
The narrator, Simon Russell-Beale was brilliant too. Truly a 5* listen.

Engrossing
I am rediscovering Rendell. A well written tale of characters who intertwine around Regent's Park. Such insightful characterisations! I couldnt stop listening. The narration was excellent too.

Fantastic!
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Superbly read with such emotion, I felt like I personally knew all the characters. The twists and turns were excellent, the evolving story gripping. A wonderful book.

Overlong? But some good stuff.
The conceit would have been better written perhaps as a novella rather than a full blown tale, the story is slow but picks up at the very end. SRB’s narration is top notch.
