When Grace and her brother Andrew inherit their grandmothers house in Hampstead, they decide to move in together. It seems the obvious thing to do: theyve always got on well, the house is large enough to split down the middle, and neither of them likes partying or loud music. Theres one thing theyve forgotten though: what if one of them wants to bring a lover into the house? When Andrews partner James moves in, it alters the balance - with almost fatal consequences. Barbara Vines is the pen-name of Ruth Rendell, and The Childs Child is the first book she has published under that name since The Birthday Present in 2008. Its an intriguing examination of betrayal in families, and of those two once-unmentionable subjects, illegitimacy and homosexuality. A taut, thrilling read, it will be enjoyed by readers of P.D. James and Ian Rankin.
