The Keys to the Street Audiobook (Unabridged)

" two mysteries in one "

" This book was okay and you kind of got into the characters, but the plot was kind of boring. Some parts you wanted to get more into, and other parts were way too long. I did finish the book, but it's not one I would re-read. "

" This is my second time reading this book. It is one of my favorites from this author. I confess I was glued to my earphones this morning while I walked the dogs, did chores, worked on a jigsaw puzzle & lifted weights because I just couldn't put it down! The narrator, Simon Russell Beale did a great job. "

" The ususal complicated maze that is a Ruth Rendell - the murderer in this one is almost an afterthought. The issue of homelessness is dealt with well. "

" Was a good book but somehow a little fade. Enjoyed the plot and the concept but felt there was a something missing to make it a five star. "

" A great British detective story. "

" My favorite Ruth Rendell book yet. Good novel of suspense but without Chief Inspector Wexford. Two mysteries--Heroine provides transplant with questions and street people are being killed. How are they related? "

" Another great story from Rendell. The thoroughly grasps the complexities of the human psyche. "

" Wonderfully readable twisted book. "

" Fascinating story, deeply interwoven characters, however, I only cared about two of them and read LOTS of descriptive writing about the houses and the local neighborhoud in between. "

" This book was really bad, the story wasn't bringing anywhere and the ending is probably the worst I ever read. "

" OK but nothing special. I found it hard work at first then the characters became interesting but it seemed to drift to an inevitable conclusion. "

" One of the first Rendell books I read. Very much indicative of her style - very rich portrayals of characters, with the mystery being a side note. "

" Not one of her best. "

" It was full of people and places I know nothing about - London, drug addicts, the homeless, abusers and abused, and , of course, murderers. The writer developed her characters, so that you really cared about what happened to them. "

" MInd blowing. I read it four times over the course of 10 years. Really. "

" One of Rendell's best - very complex in character and story. A young woman becomes a bone marrow donor, later meeting the young who was the recipient. Set in London - good portrait of the city. "

" Al principio tedioso pero a medida que se desarrollan las historia te envuelve y te enamora, disfrute del final. "

" This is a relly good mystery, well written and intriguing. I'm gonna read more Ruth Rendell. "

" Really a true novel-- the mystery, while well done, is incidental to the essence of the book. Beautiful, and with memorable characters. Reminds me of "Anna's Book" (published under the pseudonym Barbara Vine) more than any of the other books published under her own name. "

" Great book … more like a Barbara Vine. Street people being killed and a huge hoax being perpetrated. Great characterization. "

" Another great story from Rendell. The thoroughly grasps the complexities of the human psyche. "

" The Keys to the Street was a typical, throw away airport book, engaging enough to get one through a flight, but not a keeper. I had higher expectations because I loved Rendell's A Dark-Adapted Eye. Oh well. This one served its purpose. "

" Murders in Regent's Park of street people requires museum worker Mary Jago to become entangled "

" This is a relly good mystery, well written and intriguing. I'm gonna read more Ruth Rendell. "

" I learned a lot about the geography of northwest London. I guess I learned something about homeless people and drug addicts. The book told the stories of several different people, and you knew they would all somehow come together and they did. "
