Summary

Raskolnikov is a poor student living in St Petersburg. Desperate to escape his poverty, he kills two people and flees with a few watches and some jewelry.

Although at first nobody suspects him, his own conscience plagues him, and it isn't long before an intelligent police detective by the name of Petrovich begins to have his doubts about Raskolnikov's innocence and is determined to make him confess.

Brilliant

I started reading the book and then decided I wanted a synopsis first. This was the most attractive voice I heard by way of audible sample. Although aimed at children, I was riveted. I will continue with the book in full but it reminds me of Shakespeare’s lambs tales I used to study for drama. I really enjoyed this.
