In the area within and around Regent´s Park together with Baroness Rendell of Babergh, CBE, (born 17 February 1930) and Google Earth / Google Map.

Ruth Rendell´s novel from 1996, The Keys to the Street (Nøglerne til Gaden, in Danish) was bought at a secondhand book market in Copenhagen some weeks ago, and the Google Earth software is of course part of my Macbook Pro and iPhone which you can download free.


We have to be interested in the odd persons connected to the ares´s streets and shadow-sides. The homeless, beggars, drug dealers and fallen out, play a central role and in contrast to the posh people living almost next door. We learn about Bone Marrow Transplantation , and weird development of relations between donor and receiver, but mostly we learn about the passages, bridges and streets in this area, making it impossible not to have the online map by my side when reading.
When reading, or at least after finishing, I am sure you will want to return to previous pages for checking out details and parts that you read but did not see the fully consequences of.
The book is (maybe) a criminal novel, or a travel book, but the right classification may better be a Psychological Thriller

I will most probably search for more literature by Ruth Rendell.

YES!! og jeg drar snart.
Har du gode tips utenom de vanlige severdigheter takes de imot med stor takk.
Fin fin fredag kveld.
Mener jeg har lest en bok som het "Dødelig selskap" eller noe i den dur av denne forfatteren. Jeg elsker krim, særlig i feriene, hehe. Da har jeg mer tid til å lese. Elsker å lese generelt da...
Yes Ruth Rendell is well known to me...not in a personal sense you understand. Her Thrillers are brilliant in that they capture every nuance, almost Balzakian in the detail.
Congratulations on your mention in POTD
I read mysteries mostly, and usually read 4 to 5 books a week. I will check out Ruth Rendell now that I read your post.
thanks for the intro...love to read so will check it out...great when you can go deeper by looking up the areas on the computer...when i first started reading James Paterson i was living in NC...made it that much more fun.
The most "novel" way I ever heard to sight-see!
Well done on your award from David on his POTD.
