i found this quite boring, maybe because i don't know suffolk. it was so hard to find places on the map as Rendall really skipped around. ( )

This beautifully produced volume seems to be sadly undervalued by LT members. There seems to be only 3 people owning a copy as opposed to between 2 and 3 hundred for Ruth Rendell's crime fiction.
For a start there are pages of superb photographs to be enjoyed,then there is the wonderful descriptive text. In the book,a totally different side of the author is revealed,someone who lives in and loves Suffolk. There are stories of ghosts ( 'real' and fictional) with many mentions of M.R.James,who set many of his stories in the area as well as architectural details of houses,great and small.
All in all it is a volume to cherish and to return to with pleasure time and time again. ( )
