Journal Entry 1 by RubyBlueLady from Avebury, Wiltshire United Kingdom on Saturday, October 28, 2006
This is a paperback book
From the Back Cover
Tristram Abberley was an English poet of the 1930s whose reputation was sealed when he died fighting for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. Nearly fifty years later his sister Beatrix is murdered during what appears to be a robbery at her home, but robbery - it transpires - is only part of the motive that underlies her death. Beatrix is the victim of a dark conspiracy, one that her loved ones are powerless to defeat.
But nothing is quite as it seems in a Robert Goddard novel. In a narrative that moves between Cheltenham and New York, Paris and rural Wales, Tunbridge Wells and wartime Spain, the conspirators themselves are caught up in a chain of dramatic events that are the consequences of meddling in the dark secrets of the legendary poet.
Hand in Glove is as full of devious and unexpected twists and as compelling as anything Robert Goddard has written.

Journal Entry 3 by purplerosebud from Petersfield, Hampshire United Kingdom on Sunday, February 1, 2009
Brought this back from the meet up yesterday for a bookcrossing friend. I don't know if she has read this title but I know she does like this author. If she has already read it we will pass it on again.
Enjoyed reading this book. I love the way Robert Goddard writes his thrillers with so many twists and turns, his books are never predictable. I'm going to release this at our holiday cottage in the next few weeks.
