Very scary and shocking!
Outstanding story, one of Ruth Rendell's best. Enjoyed William Gaminara's narration (I usually prefer women narrating but his voice is somehow just right for the story.)
Philip is a very likable young man who falls for Senta, his sister's bridesmaid. You sense almost from the beginning that there is something 'not quite right' about her, and as the story develops this becomes more and more clear!

Rendell at her finest
Once again the genius which was Rendell has produced a other gripping tale of suspense which will entrall all fans of the psychological thriller genre. The novel centres around Philip, a man in his early 20s who lives in Cricklewood, London, with his widowed mother and two sisters. When one of his siblings, Fee, marries, he becomes obsessed by one of her bridesmaids, the beautiful, albeit mysterious Senta. There is also an ongoing case of a missing local girl.
I loved the story and the narrator, William Gaminara was truly excellent, with clear diction and a good grasp of emotion.
