Synopsis

From the Back Cover
Harry Barnett is a middle-aged failure, leading a shabby existence in the shadow of a past disgrace, 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 and innocently warmed to - disappears on a mountain peak.
Under suspicion of her murder, Harry stumbles on a set of photographs taken by Heather Mallender in the weeks before her disappearance. Desperately, obsessed by the mystery that has changed his life, he begins to trace back the movements and encounters that led to the moment when she vanished into the blue. The trail leads him back to England, to a world he thought he had left for ever, and at every step of the way a new and baffling light is shed on all the assumptions that have made Harry what he is.

going to become part of the NSSFC 2005
When I search out books by authors I have not read for my NSS recipients, I always think I should also take these as recommendations for my own reading. I hunted for books by Robert Goddard for a previous NSS, and now have received one by him from my Not So Secret Santa so will be interested to see what I think of him.
Well, it's taken over 5 years, but I finally got round to reading this book and really enjoyed it. A very complex story with numerous turns and twists kept me guessing all the way through.
Releasing at Cwmni, Treherbert.
I loved this book. A nice easy read with lots of twists and turns, I can recommend....
