Summary

Harry Barnett, a middle-aged failure, leads a shabby existence. He is reduced to caretaking a friend's villa on the island of Rhodes and working in a bar to earn his keep. Then a guest at the villa - a young woman he had instantly warmed to - disappears on a mountain peak. Under suspicion of her murder, Harry becomes obsessed by the mystery that has changed his life and begins to trace back the movements and encounters that led to the moment where she vanished into the blue.

Very well read and performed and a strong story very typical of the author. Harry is an excellent central character.

Very Entertaining

It just went on a bit too long. If I had been actually reading it I would have skimmed quite a few pages especially towards the end, although definitely worth listening to overall.

Some good twists and turns

I have to admit that after about an hour or so I was about to admit defeat and finally give up due to, for me, an extraordinarily slow start.
Thankfully I persevered, the story rapidly came alive, was intriguing and enjoyable to the end.
So, I have gone from Robert Goddard write off, to convert.

Persevere

Excellent!

Robert Goddard’s ability to take the reader into a different time and place is amazing.

This is a character and plot driven mystery thriller, set before the days of mobile phones etc, and yet it doesn’t feel dated. It’s a slow burn, with a few kick starts when the plot takes an unexpected direction. The characters are plausible and the plotting is twisted and intelligent. It kept me wondering and I really enjoyed it. Narration throughout is the excellent.

Timeless and eloquent mystery thriller
