In 1967 Bunny Girl Alice Jones met Lenny Maxted - one half of the brilliant comic duo, Maxted and Flowers - and fell deeply in love with him. But, like so many great comics, Lenny had a dark side. Their love affair ended when Alice found his body hanging from a beam in a Wiltshire cottage. Seven years after his death, in the long hot summer of 1976, Alice is leading a quiet, almost reclusive life in an Oxfordshire farmhouse when, out of the blue, Lenny's partner, Jack Flowers, turns up on her doorstep. Alice has not seen him since Lenny's funeral, but her surprise and pleasure turn into an all too familiar sense of unease when she discovers that he is distressed and drinking heavily. At the same time, a car containing human remains is fished out of a Wiltshire lake...

From AudioFile:
Living alone in the Oxfordshire countryside, Bunny Girl Alice Jones still grieves the death of her lover, world-famous comedian Lenny Maxted. Unexpectedly, Lenny's comic partner, Jack Flowers, shows up on her doorstep, seven years after the funeral. Narrator Anna Bentinck expertly captures the horror and terror that Alice goes through during one day when Jack turns her peaceful home into an armed fortress. Bentinck's performance is remarkable as she conveys down-to-earth warmth, craziness, drunkenness, and pain in the unrelenting buildup to the chilling climax. At times, it seems that Bunny Alice is reminiscing out loud to a close friend--the listener--as she demonstrates just how much a celebrity can get away with in our star-struck times. Every nuance and emotion is perfect as Bentinck takes us through this believable story. S.G.B.
