*********************************************************************************************
Alan Groombridge is trapped. Husband to a woman he doesn't like, father to two children he never wanted, and manager of a tiny branch of the Anglian-Victoria bank, he is doomed to a life of domestic boredom and tedious routine.

All that keeps him afloat is his one fantasy: stealing enough of the bank's money to allow him just one year of freedom - one year in which to live a different sort of life.

But one day the bank is robbed, the manager and cashier disappear and what was once a place of dull and dreary repetition becomes the scene of a brutal, chilling nightmare that might never end...

Vintage Rendell

Classic masterpiece from the master of intrigue and brilliantly written plots about very ordinary people. Not Rendell’s best but she was incapable of writing a bad novel.

Missing the last chapter!

What did you love best about Make Death Love Me?

Great story, would have been a great ending if chapter 25 had been included in this

Awesome - one of her best!

I love ruth rendell and this is definitely one of my favorites great way to give her a try if you haven't already

Flawed humans...

Yes, I have to believe the coincidences to love this. But by the time Rendell asks me to do that, I am so absorbed with every single one of her complex and believable flawed humans that it's easy to do! These are the true "nail-biters" for me-- when real people encounter real situations and make choices while suffering consequences for being true to their flawed selves! I could listen to the narrator for a few more days!
