About this listen

One of Britain's most beloved authors, Mary Stewart leads her listeners on a journey of murder and deceit through the dusty roads of mid-century Greece in this tale that fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym are sure to love.

'Nothing ever happens to me...'

So begins Camilla Haven's letter home during her quiet holiday in Athens. But when a stranger begs her to drive a car to Delphi, swearing that it is a matter of life and death, Camilla impulsively takes the opportunity she's been offered. Before long she is caught up in a whirlwind of intrigue, deceit and murder as she spins along the dusty Greek roads in a race against time to solve a 14-year-old mystery.

'The longer I waited the less possible it seemed to walk out of the café and leave everything to settle itself without me, and the more insidiously did the other possibility begin to present itself. Dry-mouthed, I pushed it aside, but there it was, a challenge, a gift, a dare from the gods....'

This was a bit dated, but still an enjoyable mystery romance. The plot was straight forward, nicely atmospheric, the characters engaging and the narrator pleasant.

I know the book well, so no surprises there. But the narrator manages to make the two main characters sound like OAPs rather than the late twenties/early 30s they’re supposed to be. It’s really off-putting.

Classic story-odd narration.

not my favourite. A bit too much Greek and Greece . The description very good but the reading a bit over the top and the story better in the last quarter

optional?

Made a couple of evenings and car journeys fly by! Brilliantly well researched and gripping story. True the narrator mispronounced several Greek and English words, and went a bit gooey on some descriptions, which was mildly distracting, but not enough to spoil it! Otherwise excellent reading of a period piece. I agree that the producers should have known better, especially cyclamen! Forgive her; not her fault!
Mary Stewart is amazing and I shall read more!

Astonishing

Wonderful descriptions . Old fashioned story but enjoyed it - slightly unbelievable ending and would like to have more detail.
