About this listen

Another Wexford mystery read by George Baker and available for the first time on digital download.

China both delighted and frustrated Wexford; the beauty, the history, all of that brought immense pleasure. But the unending attention of Mr Sung of the Chinese Tourist Board was hugely irritating – and that an old woman with bound feet should haunt him was puzzling and slightly frightening, without explanation. Back home, he found an answer to the last and then a whole new mystery opened up when he found himself in charge of yet another murder investigation, this time of one of his fellow tourists. And suddenly an apparently accidental death in China no longer seemed so accidental….

I enjoy most of the Rendell books, and George Baker is excellent at narration. This story was interesting, although I got a little lost with some of the characters at the beginning. Kept me thinking up to the end. I would recommend

Enjoyable
