The Child\'s Child is the new crime novel by bestselling, prize-winning author Barbara Vine, pen-name for the late bestselling author Ruth RendellWhat sort of betrayal would drive a brother and sister apart?When Grace and her brother Andrew inherit their grandmother\'s house in Hampstead, they decide to move in together. It seems the obvious thing to do: they\'ve always got on well, the house is large enough to split down the middle, and neither of them likes partying or loud music. There\'s one thing they\'ve forgotten though: what if one of them wants to bring a lover into the house? When Andrew\'s partner James moves in, it alters the balance - with almost fatal consequences.Barbara Vine\'s is the pen-name of Ruth Rendell, and The Child\'s Child is the first book she has published under that name since The Birthday Present in 2008.
