About this listen

The year is 1931. The new and luxurious transatlantic liner Empress of Britain is on her eastward passage. Among the first-class passengers on board are two English confidence tricksters, making a discreet exit from a little awkwardness they have left behind them in the United States. A chance meeting on deck brings them a tempting new target in the shape of Miss Charnwood and her niece, the beautiful Diana, only child of the immensely wealthy Fabian Charnwood.

What did you like most about Closed Circle?

first discovered goddard in the early 90's, and went on to read everything i could find of his. missed this one, and extremely glad that i found it.

Have you listened to any of Bill Wallis’s other performances? How does this one compare?

no, but i will definitely look for more of his work.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes - but too long!

one of his best!

A page-turning portrait from the 1930's of humanity's darker side and the ruthless abuse of power by the rich and influential that still continues today

A great yarn

A typically twisty early Robert Goddard tale. As always the story was excellent. I hadn’t come across this narrator before but he suited the tale perfectly. At times reminiscent of John Le Mesurier at others of Michael Williams, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

Excellent
