Alan Groombridge had a fantasy. Husband to a woman he didn't like, father of two children he had never wanted, and manager of a tiny bank, Alan was doomed to a life of domestic boredom and tedious routine. All that saved him was that 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.

      Ruth Rendell peoples this fine psychological thriller with a handful of offbeat characters, chiefly a timid bank manager who dreams of the fuller life he could buy with a tray of the cash he handles each day. He is given his chance after two amateur crooks overlook him during their clumsy robbery. There is not a carelessly spoken sentence in all of Ric Jerrom's exceptional reading. His flexible voice perfectly fits the demands of Rendell's shifting, omniscient viewpoints. Rendell alternates scenes of the thieves and their hostage with those of the manager's new life, and Jerrom aptly blends sincerity (in passages evoking the characters' feelings) and dryness (in passages describing their futile actions). His performance matches the irony of the book's development. G.H. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
