Goddard is great at creating atmosphere, slipping description into the story in such a subtle way that it is almost unnoticeable. It did take me a while to get into the story, but once it was over I felt something akin to grief at the loss of this fascinating cast of characters and the world in which I had become so invested. The novel was so exciting, with tension sustained expertly over more than 500 pages of twists and turns in the plot.
He resolves to track her down and, in doing so, must return to England to confront his past. However, he discovers a new sense of purpose when Heather, a guest at the villa, disappears, leaving behind only a few photographs. It tells the story of Harry Barnett, a shabby middle-aged failure, who leads an indifferent life as caretaker of a friend’s villa in Rhodes. I am very partial to a good thriller, and this is one of the best I have ever read.
