About this listen
Chief Inspector Reg Wexford has retired. He and his wife, Dora, now divide their time between Kingsmarkham and their daughter, Sheila’s, coach house in Hampstead. Wexford takes great pleasure in his books, but, for all the benefits of a more relaxed lifestyle, he misses being the law. But a chance meeting with an old acquaintance in a London street changes everything. Tom Ede is now a Detective Superintendent, and is very keen to recruit Wexford as an adviser on a difficult case. The bodies of two women and a man have been discovered in the old coal hole of an attractive house in St John's Wood. None carries identification. But the man's pockets contain expensive jewelry. To Wexford, this is definitely a case worth coming out of retirement for. He is intrigued and excited by the challenge, but unaware that this new investigative role will bring him into extreme physical danger.

Ruth Rendell the teaser
As always the author raises interest to the listener by inviting them to play detective, only to discover that the clue given more often than not leads nowhere haha. An intriguing plot here that held my interest throughout. The narrative is excellent and worth a chuckle from time to time.

Loses it 3/4 of the way through
This sequel to A Sight for Sore Eyes is entertainment on that it ties up some loose ends and with a few twists and surprises, brings life to the story again. However after Wexford solves the mystery of what happened to the original murder victims, the story loses it someway and becomes confusing and rambling. Also the secondary story line involving Reg and Dora’s daughter Sylvia seems a bit pointless.
However I love RR and as usual she writes with character and depth. I enjoyed it immensely
