About this listen

Marjorie had never seen a dead person until she got home one tranquil summer evening and found her sister’s body. She looked peaceful, as if she was asleep. Their mother suspects, however, that Dot’s death was far from natural. What’s more, she’s convinced she knows who the killer is. Slowly and meticulously, she plots her revenge. After all, who would suspect a neatly dressed, grey-haired widow of anything?

C. S. Forester’s thriller The Pursued (1935) rewrote the traditions of crime fiction to create a dark, twisted psychological portrayal of obsession and retribution, but its typescript manuscript was lost and never published. Now, more than seven decades later, it has been rediscovered and published for the first time.

Immensely enjoyable listen

A real treat, having previously listened to Forester’s other crime novels both as audiobooks and dramatisations. Diana Bishop is an excellent storyteller - and what a story! I found myself using every spare bit of time to listen, and really didn’t want to bid the characters farewell when we reached the end!
