About this listen

Sarah has been receiving threatening anonymous letters seemingly from a former lover. Just one day after revealing this information to her co-worker Nancy, Sarah is shot and found in her bedroom by one of her past flames, Donald. Desperate to clear any evidence of Donald's presence at the scene for her own infatuations, Nancy finds herself as the key suspect when she is discovered in the apartment. As the real killer uses the situation to their advantage, Bennett crafts a tense and nuanced story through flashbacks to Sarah's life and loves in this Gold-Dagger-award-winning story of deceit and murder.

Amusing and entertaining

This book was recommended to me by husband who is a great fan of the British library novels of the early twentieth century. I don’t usually enjoy them but this one was very engaging and witty and reminded me a bit of Muriel Spark and Barbara Pim.

Ludicrous

It’s becoming clear that British Library Crime Classics is scraping the barrel. The absence of introductions by Martin Edwards is perhaps an indication that the series is running out of steam. While the premise of this book is reasonable it’s a frustrating study if a woman behaving like a complete idiot.
