I really enjoyed this book. the tension came from the unexpected. Not from a series of murders being investigated by policemen, but rather from the interelationships between the characters. I felt sorry for Teddy, who seemed to have risen above his background only to prove to be, after all, fatally flawed.

I am an avid fan of Ruth Rendell but usually I only read Inspector Wexford novels. I recently discovered that I should read this book before her latest release "the vault" and found it absolutely riveting. It is a standalone story which I strongly recommend. Lorraine Mulligan

Another one of my "bargain buys". If it's selling cheap, I'll buy it! Ruth Rendell is a fantastic writer and you can always be sure of a good read. "A Sight for Sore Eyes" was a fantasic read with loads of twists and turns. The ending was suitably macabre and completely unexpected. It will have you sitting on the end of your seat with eyes like saucers and lights will be burning late into the night.
